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.

    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.
