Thomas Massie

I’m concerned that now he’s opening a flurry of investigations, and I believe they may be trying to use those investigations as a predicate for not releasing the files.

If you want to add some additional protections for these survivors, go for it. But if you do anything that prevents any disclosure, you are not for the people ... Do not muck it up in the Senate.

Caused nothing but political pain.

If you do anything that prevents any disclosure, you are not for the people and you are not part of this effort.

These survivors have stepped forth, taking that same risk, worried that they will be defamed themselves — they have been defamed for stepping forward — but we're going to get justice for them.

The president can't protect you then

The record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump's presidency

I would remind my Republican colleagues who are deciding how to vote — Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement.

There’s still time for him to be the hero.

So, this might be a big smokescreen, these investigations, to open a bunch of them, as a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files.

He’s been saying that for months. Well, he’s just now decided to investigate a hoax, if it’s a hoax.

The president’s been saying this is a hoax.

I would remind my Republican colleagues who are deciding how to vote, Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now by giving you an endorsement. But in 2030, he's not going to be the president, and you will have voted to protect…

It's going to happen.

He’s being a bully, or trying to be a bully.

We’re taking it with a grain of salt.

We should have invited Donald Trump. He’s mad that he didn't get an invitation.

In 2030, he's not going to be the president, and you will have voted to protect pedophiles.

The record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump’s presidency.

I’m not tired of winning yet, but we are winning.

There could be 100 or more votes from Republicans.

Dogs don’t bark at parked cars, and we are winning

The record of their votes will last longer than Donald Trump’s presidency

When they are protecting pedophiles, when they are blowing our budget, when they are starting wars overseas, I’m sorry, I can’t go along with that.

President Trump and Speaker Johnson can still be on the right side by encouraging a YEA vote.
