MAGA firebrand Marjorie Taylor Greene has joined forces with Democrats to pressure the Trump administration to release the entirety of the Epstein files

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said the CIA, FBI and the Justice Department “holds the truth” on Jeffrey Epstein as she vowed to reveal “every damn name” of the purported high-powered clients of the late financier’s underage sex trafficking operation.

The Georgia representative, a Trump loyalist, dialed up the pressure on her own party by speaking at a news conference on Capitol Hill Wednesday, hosted by fellow rogue GOP Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California.

Greene has backed Massie’s “Epstein Files Transparency Bill,” along with fellow GOP congress members Lauren Boebert and Nancy Mace. They were joined by as many as 100 survivors of Epstein’s abuse at the event.

    She’ll say every blue name on the floor, and not Trump or any other republican she agrees Wyeth. This is theater, and it’s obvious because she has zero integrity.

    WTH is she waiting for. There is not a single reason to hesitate. Her boss is the people and the people have many times ordered the names to be released.

    I’ll believe it when I see it, but it’s crazy that there are Dems getting outflanked on Epstein and Gaza by broken clocks.

      It isnt really, if you can take yourself away from opposing the idea that they are both as bad as each other. The dems, IMO, are the main reason we ever saw what a Trump presidency looks like at all. The DNC fucking about to make sure Hilary got the nom, when America was begging for change, was nothing short of a self inflicted gunshot to the head.

      Bernie, would have beaten Trump. Even Republicans at the time were saying they would vote for Bernie. Trump won, because he was pushing the “Ill drain the swamp” thing. Hilary was just more of the same, woman or not, she was a card carrying member of everything that people wanted to change.

      Just last year, AOC, the young and future Bernie, was up for a committee seat that would have been a great stepping stone to running in 28. But the OAPs led by Nancy Pelosi were having none of it, and forced through getting a 75 year old man who was dying of cancer in the seat instead of a 35 year old woman in her prime. 4 months later, that old dude died. And AOC has said she wont run for the seat again, because nothing has changed in the Democratic caucus and they would still vote in old cunts that only care about themselves.

      America needs a third option. Because the state of left and right parties is a joke.

        What left party? You seriously don’t consider the democrats to be left-wing do you?

        We definitely need more options, but I think “a third option” is the wrong way to look at it.

        First is that it is not feasible at the federal level without changing the constitution. That is not happening any time soon. I expect a collapse and rebuild to come much sooner than the Rs and Ds pulling off a once in a generation collaboration effort to… make keeping their jobs harder.

        And second is that we don’t want slightly more predefined slots for parties that we take seriously. The fix of some kind of ranked choice or STAR voting system would allow for varying numbers of candidates.

    I’ve been encouraging everyone to treat this as the wacko conspiracy theory that it probably is, but hear me out.

    MTG is one of the least credible people in the US Government right now and everyone knows it. She lies her ass off constantly. This is the woman that heard there was a wildfire burning in California and then went straight onto the national news to tell everyone that the Jews did it with their orbital lasers.

    What better person to destroy all credibility of the Epstien files? Everyone keeps talking about them and won’t stop, so let’s “solve” this by siccing our attack liar on it. Even if MTG came right out and read the files on live TV word for word it won’t, and indeed can’t, be trusted by anyone. She’s the one person on the red team that they can safely let spout off about this without anyone taking her seriously. No other Republican will touch it with a ten foot pole, and everyone else talking about it are Democrats.

    I honestly believe this is engineered to have the least amount of credibility possible while still technically “doing something” about the situation.

      This just popped into my head, but has anyone considered that she’s doing this because she thinks it’s an antisemitism somehow?

        I’ll connect those dots real fucking quick for you. Maxwell’s dad worked with numerous intelligence agencies, including mossad. There’s a theory that epstein was a honey pot to get dirt on elites for intel agencies, but some of the evidence is Alex fucking Acosta’s word. Personally I think it’s plausible, especially since the fbi doubtless had mountains of evidence from two separate investigations and not a single indictment has arisen other than epstein himself.

      There is this with Epstein and admitting it is Israeli blackmail which it is, she is against geoengineering now, like spraying sulfur dioxide in the upper atmosphere to cool the Earth, she was against the war with Iran, and she called out the genocide against Palestine. By the scorecard she’s doing a lot better than a lot of these Democrats.

      She gets no credit for it saying she did not notice the bill she signed gave AI 10 years free from State interference, it is her job to know and she has teams to know that, and she voted for it again after the Senate got through with it.

      Still though credit where it is due.

    She only supports it because she thinks it’s filled with democrats that have done her wrong.

    She may be surprised to hear it’s probably a mix of both parties and everyone is a horrible person and needs to be in prison for life.

      That and it’s part of the game.

      Use Trump to push things as far as he can, and when that starts falling apart have “allies” start “fighting” him on things to keep the followers on the designated path.
