Withdrawal from NATO. Abolishing the Federal Reserve. Ending aid to Ukraine. These are fringe positions that sound familiar to those tracking the desires of a certain diminutive dictator who lives in Moscow. But they are also the singular obsessions of one Congressman, Thomas Massie (R-KY), who has gained prominence (and an audience) in recent months for demanding government transparency with the Epstein files. Massie, along with Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and now former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) were the primary sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act (H.R. 4405, passed in November 2025) which required the Department of Justice to release its records, without unnecessary redactions, within a thirty day deadline. After missing the initial deadline, the government has largely complied, with over three million documents released so far — and another potential three million or so still withheld. This would seem to be a great victory for transparency over a case that has harmed thousands of victims and upended American democracy and global politics. The public is understandably and rightly outraged that Epstein — a sex pest, pervert, racist, and manipulator — would have such outsized influence over the realms of business and government. And we should seek both answers and justice. But few have paid attention to Massie's record in Congress, which reveals a longstanding commitment to Moscow's policy agenda. |
