MASSIE: “… If it’s it's a hoax, why was Donald Trump an informant to a hoax?"

"Congressman Massie, let me begin with you and get your response to Speaker Johnson," ABC host George Stephanopoulos told the Republican in a Sunday interview. "He says you've been misled. He also suggested at one point this week seemed to suggest that Donald Trump, President Trump, was an informant to the FBI about Jeffrey Epstein."

"Now, I don't know if the speaker misspoke when he said that Donald Trump was an informant," Massie replied. "The lawyers for the victim said that Donald Trump had been helpful in 2009 in their case by giving them information."

"But being an informant implies some formal connection and ongoing relationship with the FBI," he continued. "I don't know what that's all about. I think the speaker needs to clarify that."

"And if it's a hoax, why was Donald Trump an informant to a hoax?"

...Massie's been out of the fold and under attack from the maga mob since this summer for deigning to criticize his cult leader's military strikes on Iran.

But he's true maga at heart and in deed.

1. I'm glad Massie's doing what he's doing, but any admiration is impossible because I can't get this image...

...out of my mind - the Christmas card with all the grinning family members armed to the teeth,

3. Poor choice.

There will be long term consequences.

If you equate Christmas with firearms, enough to take a family photo for general release, I question his allegiance to the NRA and other firearms restrictions.

What's his voting record on background checks and the other times Dems have tried to enact basic gun laws?

5. Attention "prostitute"... that Mr. Massie. No different than all of the other psychopaths. ...

MTG, Noem, Mace, etc.

6. Just a hoax

Massie was pressed on the air,
About claims that just didn’t seem fair.
“Trump an informant?” he said with a squint,
“He helped once, but that’s just a hint.”
“If it's fake, why’d he spill, if he’d care?”

The Speaker let slip quite a claim,
That Trump played the informant game.
Massie deflected, confused by the plot —
“If it’s all just a hoax, then why spill what he’s got?”
Seems truth is a stranger to fame.

7. For the MAGA crowd, Massie helps continue the Epstein scandal.
