The Epstein Conspiracy Collapses: Rep. Khanna ‘Outs’ Innocent ‘Epstein Associates’ on House Floor

... Rep. Khanna, speaking on behalf of Rep. Massie, spoke TRUTH TO POWER — and finally revealed the names of the six “wealthy, powerful men” that “they” tried to protect:

Now, my question is, why did it take Thomas Massie and me going to the Justice Department to get these six men’s identities to become public? And if we found six men that they were hiding in two hours, imagine how many men they are covering up for in those 3 million files? But the story gets worse. The reality is, that Donald Trump’s FBI scrubbed these files in March, long before Thomas Massie and I passed the Epstein Transparency Act.

Hmm. If reading the names of the six “wealthy, powerful men” is what “catapulted the California Democrat further into the national spotlight” and the cusp of a presidential run, then those names must be REALLY important. I’m sure Rep. Khanna and his tag-team partner, Rep. Massie, acted like Santa Claus and checked — and then rechecked — those names.

The Guardian spoke with two of the men whose names Khanna read out on the floor. They both strongly denied knowing Epstein at all; one said he didn’t realize his name had been mentioned on the House floor in connection to Epstein until the Guardian contacted him. The two men acknowledged they were arrested by the NYPD in the past for unrelated crimes, which could explain how their photos ended up in a photo array assembled by law enforcement.

Salvatore Nuarte, of Queens, New York, said he called Khanna’s office after hearing that his name was mentioned. “I don’t know if they know what they are doing over there at the justice department,” he told the Guardian. “But how can I clear my name?”

[…]

Leonid Leonov, whose name was incorrectly listed as Leonic Leonov in the files, but whose photo and birthday matches the file, is an IT manager in Queens. He vigorously denied knowing Epstein. “I don’t even have a second or third degree connection to him. Never worked for him, nothing,” he said when reached via phone.

The two other men Khanna named, Zurab Mikeladze and Nicola Caputo, could not be reached.

After his mistake went public, Rep. Khanna immediately apologized, accepted full responsibility, and pledged to make amends to the innocent people he falsely connected to an international pedophilia conspiracy.

Nah, I’m just kidding. He actually blamed the Department of Justice:

So Massie and Khanna found 6 men whose names were "covered up". Problem is, at least 4 were utterly uninvolved in anything Epstein. Their names were properly redacted. But after however minutes of scanning the files, Massie and Khanna decided to expose four (probably six) innocent men because they fantasized they had a Gotcha-Trump.

Those innocent men "should" be able to sue Khanna and Massie into bankruptcy, but because they were slanderously exposed on the House floor, the USC Speech and Debate clause precludes that.
