Political operatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna have never mentioned the name Katheryn Ruemmler despite her name appearing thousands of times in emails within the Epstein files. Yet both Massie and Khanna went out of their way to publicly claim they forced the DOJ to release the names of four men they accused of being sex traffickers and pedophiles.
Massie was very proud of his efforts to discover the names and force the DOJ to unredact them. As Massie proclaimed, continuously: if President Trump and the DOJ did not publicly unredact the names, it would be proof that President Trump and the DOJ were protecting pedophiles and sex traffickers.
Thomas Massie: “We found six men whose names have been redacted who are implicated in the way the files are presented.”
Four of them were totally random people selected years ago for an FBI lineup with no connection to Epstein’s crimes. https://t.co/upSpLpYR96 pic.twitter.com/dLESyzfaLv

After holding their joint press conference, Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna then went to the House of Representatives to proclaim (1) Salvatore Nuara, (2) Zurab Mikeladze, (3) Leonid Leonov and (4) Nicola Caputo were sexual deviants, pedophiles and much worse. They were horrible men who had abused underage girls.
…. Except, there was a problem. A BIG PROBLEM.
Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov and Nicola Caputo had absolutely nothing to do with Jeffrey Epstein or anything even remotely associated with Jeffrey Epstein. [SEE HERE]
The names Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov and Nicola Caputo were in the Epstein files because they were random pictures of men, random passport pictures, used in a photo lineup during questioning of one of Epstein’s victims.
Ro Khanna read the names of six people on the House floor and described them as “wealthy, powerful men” involved in Epstein’s crimes.
It turns out that 4 of them were just random people selected for an FBI photo lineup and had no connection to Epstein’s crimes. https://t.co/upSpLpYR96 pic.twitter.com/bbANktq9zZ

Thanks to the ‘HE’S A WITCH” hunting efforts of Massie and Khanna, four random guys who never new anything about the DOJ or the FBI, or Jeffrey Epstein or anything else even remotely in that orbit, were labeled as sex criminals and horrific people.
Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov, and Nicola Caputo did not know they were in the Epstein files and did not know their pictures were ever used by the FBI. Their random passport photographs were used in an FBI lineup to question witnesses, that’s it. But thanks to Ro Khanna and the political efforts of Thomas Massie, they were wrongly labeled.
Khanna and Massie now claim it’s not their fault. If the DOJ had just redacted the names of the innocent men, there never would have been a problem. Except, that’s the problem… They were innocent and their names were redacted because they were innocent; but that wasn’t good enough for Massie and Khanna who used the redactions as evidence of a cover-up, and when the redactions were forcibly removed, Massie and Khanna now claim the names should have been redacted.
Inquisitor Massie: We should dunk her, if she floats, she is a witch, if she drowns, she is innocent!
Thomas Massie’s objective with his lead position on the Epstein stuff, is to defeat MAGA and return control of the Republican party to the professional Republican elites (GOPe/Bush clan).
This is the same Sea Island agenda. They are actively working to best position their preferred and controlled leader, Ron DeSantis. If the GOPe get DeSantis moved into position, they will regain control. The problem is MAGA.
The useful Republicans are exploiting the Epstein stuff to accomplish this objective. Simultaneously, they are promoting as much division as possible (Israel vs Qatar) in order to fracture the MAGA assemblies. It’s structurally easy to see it, when you understand the goal.
Ask yourself this basic, commonsense question: If you tear down President Donald Trump, who benefits?
There’s your answer to that sense; to that sensibility trying to reconcile questions; to the intuition you have.
The Kentucky (take the T out and insert F) have never ever been even remotely close to what people believe they are.
Mr Fall down daily in the geriatric senate should have been forcibly removed by pressure years ago but China rules most in congress and the Senate.
This is a direct reflection of States GOP
Not China, Israel.
McConnell’s in-laws run a import-export business with China. I think it’s based in Taiwan.
The way I understand it, DOJ had released only redacted files. Redactions to protect victims and innocents. However, Congress requested to see the unredacted files (victim names and all) in a classified setting or briefing.
Since there’s no risk of getting sued for anything they say on the House floor, Khana and Massie outed these names plus two others. Are the two others involved in Epstein crimes? I don’t know.
It was.
The only one we needed.
Apologies to Miss Pittypat (Laura Hope Crews).
“We’re off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of Oz.”
Ha haha
It’s like almost 1/2 of America knew from day one about Bondi. I hope to God Trump is doing “keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
I don’t understand why people who vetted her didn’t know who she is, she is not loyal and I wonder why others have on her.
I don’t know how to post a short video, is there a way to do this? My favorite video of Lindsay
Lindsay Graham, “ He’s a lady.”
Oh, man. Don’t ruin that song for me.
So what happens to these four men? Do they have recourse to get back at that creature Massie and the sunstroke crazy scorpion, Khana for dragging them through the mud? Suing for slander should be the least of it.
Can Khanna and Massie be sued by these four men?
Nope. Speech & debate clause.
This goes beyond saying something on the floor of the house/senate though.
Maybe lawsuits are not the answer that would produce the best outcome for society.
The Bush crime family has never been the smartest.
let the lawsuits begin!
DOJ didn’t share the names. Congress requested and received unredacted files in a classified setting or briefing. House members are protected for anything said on the floor, during session.
Khana and Massie chose to go public with the names, not DOJ.
The slow roll out of Casey “Walmart” DeSantis to replace meatball Ron as next Gov has started here in Florida.
Don’t see her winning in a primary against Bryon Donalds, who PDJT has endorsed long ago. Just trying to form another wedge in the platform.
Salem media has already started pushing her. I heard her on radio speaking about safety of food supply and what Florida has detected in baby formulas and other foods.
Thank you CTH, Treepers, and especially, ultimately God that these efforts are so transparent to me now. Once upon a time, my eyes were covered in scales and I couldn’t see it.
Let her be in charge of baby food.
Go Byron! Win! Win! Win! We do not need a female.
Certainly not that female.
The power couple known as Puss N Boots.
5something smells, Massie
Massie was such a sanctimonious jerk at the Pam Bondi hearings the other day. I hope these guys sue the living daylights out of him.
bondi was a sanctimonious jerk also.
Pam was just stupid. That’s all.
These 4 guys should sue him for defamation.
Massie is an MK Ultra bot.
I wonder if those four fellows can sue Massie?
They can certainly try and I would encourage them to do so.
I am sick of all this Epstein crap. If those women were hrmed why dont they name names and report what those individuals did to them to police?
from what I understand (and I may be wrong for sure), the women have signed a NDA when Epstein was tried in FL and received a payoff of about 131 million total which they split between them. If they start naming names then they have to pay back the money and also could be sued themselves. As I said , this is what I have read in many places and that is why they will not post the names themselves. They even said when they had that big press show with MTG that they would talk about the names and make a list for themselves but that they would never release said list as they legally could not do so.
Well, that’s their fault! The case is closed! They can return the money and tell!
Big Money buys all varieties of sin.
There was no $131 million NDA settlement by victims before Epstein was tried in Florida. There have been other settlements that have taken place after Epstein died such as the $125 million dollar fund awarded to 150 Epstein victims by the US Virgin Islands. This fund was closed in 2022. After Epstein’s death his estate set up the victims compensation fund which awarded $121 million to 150 of 225 claimants. It was closed in 2021. By accepting the payouts the victims agreed that they could not make future claims. Some of the victims pursued other cases against what they said were enablers for Epstein, such as the Jane Doe who sued Chase Bank for $290 million in 2023.
Leon Black paid a $62.5 million fine to the US Virgin Islands in 2023 the US Virgin Islands released him from all future sex trafficking claims related to Epstein. They have jurisdiction so charges can’t be brought anywhere else.
Besides potential NDAs or accepting victim funds which release any future claim against Epstein’s estate, one has to remember that most of the sex trafficking happened 20 to 30 years ago. Most of the victims were young. Since then they may have not only received money from a victim fund but may have built a life, family and have no desire to dredge up something that happened so long ago out of fear of the damage it would do to their current life, victimized once but not for a second time.
The Epstein episode is a distraction, most of the victims have built a new life and until people like Bill Gates, Reid Hoffman or Leslie Wexner face justice it is a distraction that crops up every year to distract from some other issue like the SAVE Act or illegal alien charity fraud et al.
I read that the ones in the House chamber the other day were all over 21when they met Epstein . and that some of them (maybe all) were prostitutes.
Common sense tells me if they were all 21 and prostitutes, they would not have been paid the hundreds of millions as outlined above by FloridaFredOutWest. They would have been paid zero.
Exactly, why don’t they name the names of the bad men? But, will they tell the truth?
Hoping that’s real and not AI. He looks kind of downsized in this picture. Still, a beautiful image on Valentine’s Day.
Melania might be wearing boots or high heels. Or be on a step next to Don.
..even with Melania’s 4″heels…………
I said it here since late June/2025…… his-VSGPDJT- height is…..6’3″ !!!!!!!….
Unfortunately this was always going to be a rabbit hole.
Most of these victims if not all of them have been paid off.
I noticed that some people like to mention that a certain persons name has been mentioned in the Epstein files (insert number here)
But if you search through the files a lot of the time the name appears because of some news story in a junk email.
Someone posted on X that CatTurd was in the Epstein files, and they are right he is, as a person on a kill list that someone on X posted. So as a victim not a pervert.
Much of this Epstein thing seems like the perpetual unanswerable question “When did you stop beating your wife ?”
Well, correct, it’s the context of the name…were they emailing and texting Epstein, what were they saying, does grape soda and pizza all the time sound good to them, were they receiving expensive gifts from the monster, etc, etc.
The filthy lawyer from the Obama admin and GS-loved her handbags and watches-pure garbage
Massie has gotten very strange since the death of his wife. I can not find the cause of her death which makes me suspicious that there is more to his strangeness than what is visible.
Is the lady pictured above his new wife? He sure didn’t waste any time.
She’s an alligator emoji tool, always cozying up to the GOPe guys for a photo op. That picture is worth 10×10,000 words.
No. Christina Pushaw is an operative in the Rhonda Santis camp.
She grew up in Malibu, was in the country of Georgia, then told people she was a native of Ukraine.
She was on Koch’s payroll for awhile.
Another political science type who doesn’t know or care how real Americans live and struggle.
I don’t know if it’s true that she and Casey D are more than friends.
She also was named as a participant in the early Ukraine debacle.
That is Christina Pushaw who was in charge of Meatball DeSantis’ campaign for President.
We have a standard other than “Till Death Do Us Part”? He waited over a year to get remarried.
Cancer
Have never even heard that mentioned as a possibility – do you have some kind of a link to substantiate that?
She died of cancer, ffs! You are rumor-mongering.
It was cancer but she died sooner than expected.
Saw a quick blip about emails between Massie and Schumer being discovered (through FOIA?) that showed Chucky promising a key role to Massie in the next Democratic Administration if he would continue to sabotage efforts to pass President Trump’s bills in this Congress…I have tried to go back and find it but the story seems to have disappeared. Was it a spoof or did anyone else see it?
Also, was there ever any cause of death given for Massie’s wife of 30 years who just suddenly “passed away”. The only thing I ever saw was something on Wiki saying “Respiratory complications of chronic autoimmune myopathy (exact type/etiology unknown). The death is contributed to by multiple additional autoimmune diseases.” That seems very vague and not particularly believable, IMHO….suicide upon discovering her husband’s affair did cross my mind, to be honest.
Either way, he may be wicked smart intellectually but the more I hear about him, the I think he is probably a real jerk!
I think he is traveling in disguise.
Isn’t he about to leave? I don’t think he’s running for re-election another reason he’s crazy. He has nothing to lose!
Probably fake emails!
I think I read somewhere they were fake (internet hoax).
I saw that article also, but can’t remember where!
Produce it or you are a liar. Massie over the Israel Firster Trump any day of the week.
Massie’s entire career is playing the heel for libertarian idealists who don’t know how government and politics work. I should know; I used to be one.
Why are innocent people having their photos inserted into any line-up?
Artificial Intelligence will now be on our newscasts…”Have you seen this man? Call 1-800-FBLIE.”
Easy way to keep a case going, look like you’re doing something, when they may have already 86’d their guy.
DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
Right!
For anyone paying attention to the Guthrie Sh!tshow- the last 2 theatrics involving swat teams & media hoopla– ultimately resulted in 1 + 3 people being detained & then soon released.
I have no doubt AI factors into their toolkits somewhere in misidentifying suspects.
Check this out, Sundance and everyone!

Betrayal in the Ranks: Leaked Texts Reveal Massie’s Secret Deal with Schumer to Sabotage GOP for Democrat Cabinet Spot
by Jonathan Gregory
Washington D.C. – February 12, 2026
In a bombshell revelation that’s rocking the Republican Party, leaked text messages between Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer expose Massie as a turncoat willing to sell out his own party for personal gain. Massie, one of the few Republicans who consistently bucks the GOP line on key issues, is shown in the exchanges receiving promises from Schumer of a coveted cabinet position once Democrats reclaim the White House. This insidious pact explains Massie’s repeated defiance, from voting against aid to allies to undermining Speaker initiatives, moves that align suspiciously with Democratic agendas. President Trump, the unwavering guardian of conservative values, has blasted such RINOs on Truth Social, calling for true patriots to expose these deep state collaborators and rally behind real America First leadership.
The leaked texts, which surfaced from anonymous sources close to Capitol Hill, detail Schumer’s overtures to Massie, assuring him a plum role in a future Democratic administration in exchange for his continued disruption within Republican ranks. This quid pro quo highlights how Massie is playing both sides, cozying up to the radical left to secure his Washington future while pretending to be a principled libertarian. Trump’s supporters are furious, seeing this as yet another example of the swamp’s corruption that the president vowed to drain. With midterms looming, Trump’s endorsement remains the gold standard for GOP loyalty, and revelations like this only strengthen his call to purge disloyal elements and restore party unity under his proven vision.
This scandal underscores why Donald Trump is the indispensable force for America’s revival, exposing the weak links in the chain that the Democrats exploit to maintain power. As concerned citizens demand investigations into these treacherous communications, Trump’s message resonates louder than ever; only he can root out the betrayers and make America great again. Massie’s duplicity serves as a stark warning, vote for true conservatives, or risk more backroom deals that prioritize personal ambition over national prosperity.

Fake news. The guy posting lists himself as a comedian
Totally FAKE NEWS!
You’re new here, aren’t you? You sure seem to have jumped into this thread with a vengeance…. things that make me go hmmm!
He’s right. It is fake. It’s already got community notes on X.
That is fine – that’s why I was asking. because it popped up and then disappeared, so I assumed it had been debunked. Name calling is unnecessary…and all caps responses to a legitimate post by a long time Treeper is just rude, IMHO!
Viking mom, sometimes we like to change our name as a precaution. As SD has said many times everything here is monitored by people who you don’t want as an enemy.
So why not make that explanation and provide the names in the first place?
Why should their names be provided at all?
It is to provide gist for the 24/7 content creators who like to talk endlessly about Epstein.
I think the DOJ tried to tell Maddie already.
I’m pretty sure Maddie excoriated Bondie for not releasing the files by the date Congress wanted.
But he told them to release all the files or he would hold them in contempt.
Sundance said a few months ago this was nothing more than a distraction.
Trump said it was a democrats hoax.
Both were correct.
All in a day’s work, right Thomas? I hope they can sue you.
Maybe Massie finally stepped in it.
Hope Massie gets sued into oblivion 🤞
and Khanna
This is insane. People that are totally innocent are having their lives ruined so these scoundrels can desperately try to manufacture political points. If you were in the same NYC bar as Epstein in 1998 then you are automatically a pedophile and criminal. This is a disgraceful hoax
Ah, so it is a problem when Massie does it… but when other politicians *cough cough cough* make baseless claims on a regular basis – it’s okay?
Sorry. You cannot have it both ways.
Its a problem when anyone does it!! Trump warned, that just because someone’s name is in these files, doesn’t mean, they are guilty of anything! Where’s Clinton’s trial? For democrats only Republicans are guilty! This truly is a witch hunt!
They need to go on tv and apologize to those 4 men!
I smell a defamation lawsuit in the air.
Go back to politico Johnny dont let the door hit you on the way out. Sundance has a 99% record of being right the other .01% just hasn’t happened yet You lil twit. I hear Hunter needs help paying rent you might help him paint some canvas.
I post under the name Johnny, I have a loathing of politico. Also I am not a lit twit.
I have posted here for years now.
Please verify who you are calling out! Do not be bad as Massie
One could also say that the constant tearing down of Patel, Bondi and Wiles it is doing the sea islands bidding for their goal of dividing maga and taking back control.
( valid claims or not doesn’t matter much to me even though it’s likely just innuendo )
CTH started this anti Bondi et al crap and i see the regurgitated comments all over every internet comment areas.
it’s sickening.
who needs the UniParty clawing at the Trump Administration when Maga? *cough naivete will do it for them.
CTH did not start the Bondi crap. Bondi started the crap by being a tool when she was AG in Florida. All CTH did was report the truth.
if that’s what you believe… you’re entitled to it
but it is not my point, my point was who needs it?
do you think you are helping? or hurting? with it.
IMHO as stated already “who needs the UniParty when you have CTH chattering class doing their work for them”
Deborah I haven’t seen much from you for a while either im blind or you were taking a break either ways Cheers
I was willing to give Bondi the benefit of the doubt, despite my reservations based on her past, but she’s proven to be mostly incompetent and damaging to Trump/MAGA. Her handling of the whole Epstein thing is a disaster for Trump and Republicans.
Tom, being a rebel without a cause only goes so far. I understand that you lost your wife and going through a crisis now. It’s past time to end the crusade. 🤔
He’s already re-married.
he’s not a rebel, he’s a fake hillbilly street hustler. He’s up for re-election like the rest of the house in nine months. Let’s see what the good people of KY do. They already have given us two terrific roadapple gifts in Rand Paul and Cocaine Mitch.
You keep asking, you keep getting answers. Move on please. You’re wasting the time of readers and people kind enough to reply.
… and Massie was thought to be DeSantis’ VP pick for 2024 had Elevator Boots not cratered.
Massie the movie:
The call is coming from inside the house!
😂 😂 😂
I hope these men sue the living bejesus out of Massie. What a moron!
Am I the only one who thinks this is weird? Out of ALL the names in the files, these two clowns find four men who part of a line up? This is just weird…..
Mr Khanna read the names aloud in the House of Representatives.
Does he have immunity for everything said in Congress?
I have no idea how he weasels out of this slander liability, but I’m sure somehow, some way, the taxpayers will pay for it in-full.
Trump is living 24×7 rent-free in Massie’s head (like Rush loved saying about he and Obama). I hope the President continues to torment and demean Massie on social media. He is all hat and no cattle and really a rotten, arrogant person (just like Rand Paul).
Thomas Massie brings to full disclosure what Dick Cheney brought to bird hunting.
Pushaw is a deep state story all by herself.
The problem with the possible slander is, they said 4 men when outside, only naming them on the floor where speech and debate clause saves them.
Something amazing happened to Rubio and something crazy happened to Massie. Maybe a Witch is casting funny spells in DC.
Monty Python never gets old.
There’s one thing you can say about congress. They never run shoot of people you can despise. Wonder if they draw from a hat or just count off.
Safe then to assume that nothing said
on the floors of Congress can be believed?
The government should not be allowed to redact a thing. They work for us, we are the masters, they are the servants. Nothing should be redacted.
Not everything the government does is everybody’s business.
How about your tax returns? Veteran’s medical records? Non-disclosure agreements?
You have the right to ask anything but not the right to know everything.
We’re not sending our Best and Brightest to Congress. Good Grief!
If the DOJ set both of these clowns up then I’ll give them kudos for a job well done
It doesn’t matter what they do.
DeSantis is blackballed for life by MAGA USA at large, for the impudence he displayed in challenging Trump for the 2024 nomination.
Whatever he runs for, we will deliberately sink him.
I’m not a fashion expert…or maybe I am.
But any dude wearing jeans and a blue blazer is already off the charts POS.
Also I don’t think her orange flip flops meet the occasion or match the Walmart dress.
And what about his shoes/sneakers ?
Are they slip ons with velcro ?
Is the name tag needed or is he unknown at the event ?
So many questions. So few answers.
Re “any dude wearing jeans and a blue blazer is already off the charts POS.”
I’ve never been a Lindsley Graham fan but such attire is not at all unusual in the south; even at church, funerals, etc.
we called Corpus Christi casual.
Everyone’s favorite libertarian bomb thrower strikes again
