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.
Sue Massie for defamation. It may be protected under the Speech and Debate clause, BUT MAKE HIM SPEND MONEY TO GET THE CASE DISMISSED.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Exactly. This is the approach that should be used against all of these liberal nut-jobs and their funders. The rioters/protesters on college campuses, anti-ICE rioters in Minneapolis, in New York, any place where unhinged socialists are breaking the law. Sue them into bankruptcy, organize class action lawsuits, drag out legal proceedings as long as possible.
$3.11MNet Worth Est
I’m sure there’s a reputable lawyer somewhere out there that would be willing to take a portion of that net worth.
If not reputable, then any of millions of unreputable ones will do !
Congress exempted themselves from any and all legal liabilities in their official capacities decades ago.
They can’t be sued for anything
Put it to the test. There’s a judge somewhere who doesn’t like Massie, or the law, or both.
I don’t believe they can be sued since they said it on the House floor. Congress has immunity for what they say on the floor if I’m not mistaken.
Sue him and get him to spend his money. Good luck. It happened in DC. Judge Biasbutt will almost surely get it and he will throw it out the first afternoon.
If every conservative news outlet doesn’t immediately call out that piece of human scum Massey, they’re all complicit. Jeff Sessions in dress Bondi should do one of the few things she capable of, do on every talk show and hang Massey
Primary Masse, then sue him after he leaves office.
We need to make an example of Masse.
Why bother voting in the midterms – it has already been determined the republicans will make sure they lose…
Won’t be soon enough that we will be seeing lots of people “retiring” to usher it along….
Our AG sucks
Out FBI leader Sucks
Not a single republican will point this fact out about Massie being wrong – nor will the media
Fight Fight Fight
No time to give up.
Don’t give up talcum, keep fighting.
Guess what, Thomas Massie is Libertarian wearing a Republican cloak, so why should we be responsible for his actions.
He’s GOPe that plays a Libertarian on TV when it suits the agenda of the GOPe.
Neither Massie or Paul endorsed the Libertarian candidate – if only as a protest.
If they want to play Libertarian, let them register as Libertarian and lose their nice committee appointments and the lobbyist money that goes with them.
Refuse to comply. Force the bass 💩s over the finish line.
Stop depressing the vote!!
Don’t give the uniparty what they want. The uniparty wants the Demoncrats to win in the midterms so the uniparty can destroy MAGA so Republicans can hide under the Demoncrats skirts and blame the Demoncrats. I’m voting Republican because that’s what the uniparty DOESN’T want. The uniparty tried to put President Trump in jail and tried to assassinate him twice. We need to have his back for all that he has been through to fight for we the American people.
That’s why I’m voting Republican in the midterms.
With that attitude I recommend you move to Canada and inquire about their MAID program. In my opinion there are three types of Americans. Patriots, communists, or useful idiots. Patriots fight to the end and hold the rest accountable.
Unfortunately, patriots are really outnumbered by the other two.
Once we all die off, then there’s only the other two left. I don’t see many young patriots.
Still…
Vote anyway, Talcum.
Then tuck your tail between your legs and slink off. Me, I’m going to keep fighting. The fate of our Republic depends upon it!
You, and people like you, are the reason we lose.
President Trump has always been at war with both the Left and the Establishment.
Notice I didn’t say the Right.
The only time the GOP works with President Trump is when their interests nominally intersect. Any other time it’s subversion and sabotage.
Maybe the country would be better off without the speech and debate clause.
Like most of these clauses, it’s abused by the current crop of elected officials.
“They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses,..”
https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/essay/artI-S6-C1-3-1/ALDE_00013300/
It’s meant to protect legislative activity, not to serve as cover for breaking the law. As usual, Congress won’t police itself.
Thats going to be the play. Your name is in the files? Youre assumed a pedo unless proven otherwise but by then the media does its job to character assasunate ny innuendo
It’s not Trump I have issues with. It’s his DOJ and the abundance of known crimes/criminals going unpunished.
Patience is a Virtue
SOMEtimes patience becomes toleration!
But he is the boss and the one who selected these traitors.
I don’t think Thomas Massie can pass the surveillance to be in Congress this long and be effective. Supposedly his job is to create legislation for the voters in his district, at least that is why the taxpayers are paying a salary to him.
His legislative record from January 3, 2013 through January 31, 2025 indicates Thomas Massie just recycles the same ole legislation over and over again. He has submitted the 78 proposed legislation and if you look through the list…well here is the link to it for you to see what I see 😛
https://www.quiverquant.com/congresstrading/politician/Thomas%20Massie-M001184/legislation
Just like his demoncrap friends… accuse, deflect & deny any responsibility and then move on to the next scam.
What a disgraceful excuse for a man.
Speech and Debate Privilege | U.S. Constitution Annotated | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute:
Article I, Section 6, Clause 1:
The Senators and Representatives shall receive a Compensation for their Services, to be ascertained by Law, and paid out of the Treasury of the United States. They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, and in going to and returning from the same; and for any Speech or Debate in either House, they shall not be questioned in any other Place.
“… Justice Harlan explained the significance of the Speech or Debate Clause, the ancestry of which traces back to a clause in the English Bill of Rights of 1689 and the history of which traces back almost to the beginning of the development of Parliament as an independent force. “In the American governmental structure the clause serves the additional function of reinforcing the separation of powers so deliberately established by the Founders. The immunities of the Speech or Debate Clause were not written into the Constitution simply for the personal or private benefit of Members of Congress, but to protect the integrity of the legislative process by insuring the independence of individual legislators.”
The protection of this clause is not limited to words spoken in debate. “Committee reports, resolutions, and the act of voting are equally covered, as are `things generally done in a session of the House by one of its members in relation to the business before it.’” Thus, so long as legislators are “acting in the sphere of legitimate legislative activity,” they are “protected not only from the consequence of litigation’s results but also from the burden of defending themselves.”
But the scope of the meaning of “legislative activity” has its limits. “The heart of the clause is speech or debate in either House, and insofar as the clause is construed to reach other matters, they must be an integral part of the deliberative and communicative processes by which Members participate in committee and House proceedings with respect to the consideration and passage or rejection of proposed legislation or with respect to other matters which the Constitution places within the jurisdiction of either House.”
Immunity from civil suit, both in law and equity, and from criminal action based on the performance of legislative duties flows from a determination that a challenged act is within the definition of legislative activity, but the Court in the more recent cases appears to have narrowed the concept somewhat.” …….
When Nancy Mace wanted to expose her pervy ex-boyfriend, she went on the House floor.
These grifters got too cute. A press conference off the floor meant to kneecap MAGA doesn’t qualify.
Lawyer up, girls!
“[S]shall not be questioned in any other Place.”
Which means they could be questioned, accused and censured by their fellow House members. (But of course that is unlikely to ever happen.)
Censured. What a crock of $ht. It’s essentially the equivalent of telling a child who does something awful that they shouldn’t do that.
Massive needs to leave ASAP.
We sure wouldn’t be missing any of his votes since he never votes with republicans anyway.
Another stench pile of 🐕 💩 masquerading as a conservative, patriotic politician.
He is an advocate of
Massie First –🇺🇲 Last.
👿 🔥
Where is your other hand, Massie?
Am praying these four men have been contacted by excellent attorneys to sue both Massie and Khanna for every penny they have and then some –
if there are no attorneys willing to step up and defend the core principle of our law system – that a person is innocent until Proven guilty – then we have a bigger problem than we can possibly understand.
That those two men thought they are immune from prosecution because they are spewing their lies from the floor of the House of Representatives is beyond evil and is also a mere ‘rule’ established by members of congress that needs to be taken up to the Supreme Court and that decades long get out of jail free card needs to be eliminated forever.
I’m quite certain those that were erroneously accused are quite thrilled with the release of the Epstein files (or at least whatever portion has been released). Proves their VINDICATION. Great news! Terrific for them to have the reputations back – and that is the point of this.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant.
Epstein is not a “nothingburger” – and I am clearly seeing the movement of media to “maps” – minor attracted persons rather than the disgusting, demonic pedophiles that they are – in BOTH parties.
Never ever forget what they want to do to you – to us – to our families – to our CHILDREN. I know from whence I speak. (Prayer Thread)

I don’t like this story but it keeps coming up. The idea that Eptstein and Combs and other elites were somehow involved in consuming children. AKA Pizzagate etc. It is a horrible connection to Moloch and Satanism and a road to power for some of these people.

Massie is pissing in the wind if he’s hitched his wagon to DeSantis. They might be able to create trouble, but that has to be their only goal. Ron DeSantis and I have the exact same chance of being POTUS.
Also, Massie needs to be severely punished in the House for what he’s done here. No-Johnson Johnson should remove him from any and all committee assignments. Calling Massie a creep is an insult to real creeps. He’s much worse…….

@MarioNawfal
🚨🇺🇸 BREAKING: DOJ JUST SENT CONGRESS THE OFFICIAL EPSTEIN NAME LIST
AG Pamela Bondi and Deputy AG Todd Blanche have submitted a six-page letter to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees under Section 3 of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires a full accounting of redactions made and a list of every government official and “politically exposed person” named in the released files.
The full list reads like a who’s who of global power:
Cont….
Nancy Mace (who’s whole Governor campaign will be about Epstein) is not happy…
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/2022851073656963110.html
Ro Khanna complaining about the list format….
So are you admitting that the DOJ “is once again purposefully muddying the waters” on who was a predator and who was simply mentioned in an email?
Why are you inclined to give a pass to Blondie here? Why do you seem to defend her obfuscations?
If you want to keep the base on board, Blondie has to go.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2026/02/watch-joe-rogan-says-trump-admins-handling-epstein/
I think the only lane open that Mace has to campaign her way into the SC Governor’s mansion is the OnlyFans lane. Might work with her natural ‘assets.’
Does anyone else notice some names on the list are those that have screamed and cried the loudest about coverup are on the list. Including Massie, Raskin and Rokhana (sp).
Hmmm! Well I never!
I saw these on another list, they do not appear in these two lists. I will see if I can find it.
If you go to the actual X tweet of the Nawfal tweet, you will more categories at the top, just about every President and family for recent years and a separate list for politicians.
“The DOJ is once again purposefully muddying the waters on who was a predator and who was mentioned in an email. ”
-Ro Khanna
Massie should be publicly flogged and financially destroyed in my opinion.
He’s no better than the Democrats who slander innocent people for political gain.
I despise Massie more than most Democrats because he is so two faced
Meantime, welfare fraud has gained critical Massie.
So, was Bondi dumb enough to allow Congress to read the files with no restrictions??? The answer is likely yes but it would be interesting to hear, especially after Judges had been blocking release of materials and the related law passed by congress to mandate release of the files included safeguards for the innocent and victims.
A law suit would answer that question because if this stunt violates any restrictions then the Speech and Debate Clause protecting congress critters would not apply.
A law suit would also test how far the Speech and Debate clause actually can be stretched to protect Congress Critters making unsubstantiated and slanderous remarks in public. In addition it would also test the limits of “official duties” as this stunt is not connected to anything related to “official business of congress nor congressional office”.
This stunt may have even violated the restrictions in the very law passed by congress which mandated the release of the files … but with safe guards for the victims as well as any innocents named.
There has to be a waiting line of lawyers who take this case pro-bono or on contingency.
Four men who were maligned as pedophiles by Khanna and Massie have retained lawyers.
https://x.com/0hour1/status/2022715525432795224?
Dang. It seems the media from both ‘our side’ and the mainstream is full of BS. I hardly know what to believe anymore. I guess that’s their plan.
At one time I thought Massie was on our side.
It sure appears Trump is our last chance for this country. Like Trump said – they aren’t just after him – he is only standing in the way – they are after us.
I might owe Sundance an apology for some of my negative posts previously.
I’m pretty sure all senators and any member of the House that makes to/through a second term are compromised and corrupt. The GOP is even less trustworthy than the Democrats because at least the Dems move forward the agenda of their voters. The GOP politicians are just there to get rich.
Nancy Mace defends Trump, says he was exonerated by Epstein files, etc….
But still makes the Epstein case her continued mission….
“So poorly managed, heads should roll.”
Joe Rogan agrees:
“Why would your name be redacted if you’re not a victim? Like, this is what’s crazy about all this. Like, how come you redact some people and you don’t redact other people? Like, what is this? This is not good. None of this is good for this administration. It looks f*cking terrible. It looks terrible. It looks terrible for Trump when he was saying that none of this was real, this is all a hoax. This is not a hoax. Like did you not know? Maybe he didn’t know, if you want to be charitable, but this is definitely not a hoax.
And if you’ve got redacted people’s names and these people aren’t victims, you’re not protecting the victims. So what are you doing? And how come all this sh*t is not released?”
Never forget that EVERY talking head makes a living by saying sensational things.
Massie is a scumbag, and I hope he is defeated in the Primary.
Just think. Someone in the DOJ knew they were innocent and let Massie step on the rake. Malicious compliance perhaps?
I smell a lawsuit coming.
AG Bondi gave Massie, Ro Kana and the Dems what they asked for and now they are blowing a gasket.
DoJ and FBI tried to tell them that many of the names in the files were people not necessarily involved in the Epstein criminality. Now they are shocked to find their own names in the documents. President Trump tried to tell them but they did not listen,
Now they are moving the goalposts to deflect. Still not enough they say. Well I will be interested in whose name appears in the next tranche of documents. Now they want the client list, but does it exist?
Yet they slandered these people in the well of the House, so they cannot be tried for defamation or be held liable. Just ask Harry Reid, oh wait, never mind. Hillary might be a good choice.
Like that other Kentucky jerk Rand Paul.
Shape-shifter; Massie looks different in every photograph …
Um, so Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna apparently had access to MANY names and they come up with 4 unknowns? WHOM of ACTUAL importance are Massie and Khanna ‘protecting’???
Help me Thomas Massie you’re my only hope!
— Ron DeSantis
Hopefully they sue for big bucks. Those two are performing and riding the Tsunami.
They have no benign intention.
Slander per se. He’s in for some entertaining lawsuits. Hope he can cover the legal fees.
Massie is done. He has been loosing supporters steadily, is well behind in his re-election bid, and this stunt and his terrible reaction to it is the last straw.
Massie made a mistake. He needs to admit that.
Doesn’t change the fact that Massie is more MAGA than Trump, currently.
Also doesn’t change the fact that Trump is doing one bang up job of tearing himself down, as Richard Baris and Mark Mitchell have copiously document in their polling since Trump took office. Trump approval rating for under 44 demographic is cratering, he’s at or under 30%. I can hear you boomer never die Trumper eye rolls from here, but you are not who got Trump elected with the popular vote. Young, low propensity working class minority voters are who came out and got Trump that outright popular vote win, and the have abandoned Trump, because Trump has abandoned them. My proof? The 7 or more point swings in favor of Democrats in every election since Jan 2025. Virginia lost to Dems, TX 9 lost to a Dem by 14 points when Trump took that district by 17 in 2024.
Epstein files continue to be the millstone around the neck of the Trump administration, because NO ONE IS GETTING ARRESTED. Pam Bondi and Kash Patel are obviously lying, have been for months. Safest person to be these days is one of Epstein’s clients. Voters are demanding accountability, and Trump is not giving it to them.
Those figures, despite any success from the Trump administration, are coldly revealing.
And the mid-terms are riiiiight over there. How many times do I have to say the same thing? When is the GOP to make a stand and battle the oncoming attack by homo-globo-communists?
Haaaaa ha ha ha ha…attack. Make a stand…I crack myself UP, sometimes.
Unknownsailor, you are in the middle of a wet dream that is going to become your nightmare when you wake up. Almost everything you have stated is delusional. Are you on the Massie payroll, or are you just a troll?
Sounds like shooting the messenger. Why not instead seek to learn why these off-year elections are flipping?
My Answer: 78 million verified, certified REAL AMERICA 1st., Trump/MAGA citizen voters thought we were going to disarm the deep state, terminate, prosecute or exile these usurpers and take away their benefits, indulgences, and treasure.
Has President Trump de-weaponized any part of the Federal government? NO!
Where do you suppose Senators’ Massie and Khanna get their courage to publicly defame innocent people? From the same people who got away with doing it to President Trump.
I still support America 1st, Trump MAGA but it would be a whole lot easier if 78 million Americans could take the targets off our backs.
It would be a whole lot easier to withhold my criticism if I was getting the Law and Order I wanted instead of a Ballroom I’ll never use.
If you’re not on the Epstein list you’re probably on some other list.
Went to a hockey game and a committee hearing broke out.
I hope they sue Massie
Reps Massie and Khanna do not appear to be on the floor of the House, in any committee hearing, when Massie makes his statment.. Immunity attach? Khanna appeared to be speaking during a Congressional meeting. They “conspired” to name names to impugn all named.
Since Thomas Massie has been named in the Epstein files, I demand that he be hauled before Congress and asked, under oath, exactly how many children he raped and how many babies he ate. Just answer the inquisition, congressman!
He’s guilty until proven innocent. Isn’t that how it works now?
I think it was very shrewd to release “every single name.” These Congressmen have now libeled innocent people, likely because their names “sounded funny.”
Libel is a crime against an individual, especially when you are accusing someone of a very serious criminal offense without justification. The fact that they said it “on the Floor” should in no way protect them.
These people obviously don’t know how to handle explosives. 🧨
Oooops
Massie’s name was on the list.
Hoist by his own petard?
I can see a luxurious retirement future for Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov, and Nicola Caputo from the jury award for defamation against Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna. They should follow the Trump pattern.
Thank you Sundance for making this crystal clear.
I’m guilty of wanting all this released because I believed our representatives were being blackmailed by other governments and I thought this would explain why the people we elected suddenly turned into people I didn’t recognize.
While there’s no question there are psychotic evil freaks out there who would do anything, turns out it’s really all about control-power and money.
What evidence does this guy have that Gov DeSantis is against MAGA? I live in Florida nd he s definitely inn line with President Trump’s agenda.
Sundance also lives in Florida and has for a long time, just for context.
Massis is a scumbag. This is sheer McCarthyism.
Somebody needs to squash this bug–figuratively, of course.

Although your premise is correct, your use of the term McCarthyism is itself an incorrect premise. Senator McCarthy was correct in every charge he made against the Communists he was trying to purge in Hollywood back in the 1950s.
