Massie Sees Clinton Subpoena as Theater, Not Real Transparency
The Hill reports Representation Thomas Massie correctly dismissed the House GOP’s subpoena of the Clintons over Jeffrey Epstein ties as “theater.” Massie, notably one of the few Representatives (along with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and others) who refuse AIPAC money, called for simply releasing “the doggone files.” This highlights a recurring pattern: Washington’s political class often prefers
performative investigations over genuine exposure, especially when powerful figures are involved. Massie’s call for direct transparency, bypassing the usual Congressional charade, echoes public sentiment that the system is rigged to protect its own. It's a sentiment often reinforced when, for example, the same politicians demanding 'accountability' elsewhere vote overwhelmingly for foreign aid
packages like the recent HR 815, providing military aid to Israel, often after receiving significant donations from lobbying groups like AIPAC. (As per OpenSecrets.org, AIPAC PAC contributed $7.8 million to congressional campaigns in 2022, with its affiliates pushing millions more.) The 'doggone files' – whether on Epstein or on lobbying influence – remain locked away, allowing the theater to
continue.
