GOP Rep. Thomas Massie accuses Donald Trump of attempting to distract from the Jeffrey Epstein scandal by launching new offensive overseas

A Republican lawmaker has warned Donald Trump that the joint U.S.-Israeli assault on Iran “won’t make the Epstein files go away.”

Operation Epic Fury began in the early hours of Saturday morning and saw airstrikes on Tehran and other Iranian cities that ultimately led to the killing of the country’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and a wave of retaliatory strikes by the regime across the Middle East.

At least four U.S. soldiers have already been killed, three American fighter jets have been brought down over Kuwait in an apparent friendly fire incident, the exchange of hostilities has spread to Lebanon, and Trump has said he is anticipating the mission continuing for “four to five weeks,” urging the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to surrender and the people to rise up.

    I think the downvotes are from people with good intentions but haven’t been able to give up on their ideas of what America is.

    It’s a means of identity that they have. They feel the insult is directed at their position as “an American”. It’s something that has been told to them since birth. It’s hard to disconnect that from what “America” is to the rest of the world.

    They focus on Epstein alone because it gives them a means in which to maintain that identity and focus it on “the elite” or whatever. They think “The system is capable of justice. We just need to fight within it”.

    But, what they don’t understand, is that that’s exactly what “America” is. They don’t control America as “an American”. They Iran war is not a distraction from the Epstein files. It is an EXTENSION of them. It serves the same interests of the ruling class.

    It feels comforting to focus on a single issue. It makes the problem seem fixable. We just need to stay focused and bring justice to the pedophilic elite.

    Well, I think it’s clear at this point that the entire ruling class of our nation are built upon the structures that allow an Epstein to exist.

    Epstein is not the entire iceberg. We have a president in power that is rounding up children with ICE. ICE is not a distraction from Epstein. It is an EXTENSION of it.

    No one that understands this is “distracted” by something. They are working for the revolution that would require a justice to occur.

    We will not get justice for the victims of Epstein. We will not get justice for the children trafficked TODAY by those same powers. Do you think these pedophiles stopped when Epstein was exposed? No. They have no fear. They have no fear because “Americans” are still believing that the current systems of government will bring them to justice. Stop believing that lie.

    Please don’t be distracted by your hyper-focus on Epstein. You are missing the forest for the trees and we won’t ever have justice under the power structures we have today. Stop waiting for “the evidence” for that justice to come. It will not come. This “America” is not capable of that until you as “an American” understand this; and you fight for a revolutionary change.
