Why are MAGA Republicans panicking over the new Epstein subpoena?

Ben Meiselas 0:00
The MAGA Republicans in Congress are absolutely panicking right now after Democrats successfully did this maneuver in the oversight committee to uh get other MAGA Republicans to join and actually subpoena the Epstein files from the Department of Justice. Now look, I think the DOJ is gonna try to obstruct and not produce these records, but now you have the Republicans who are trying to come to Donald Trump's Defense trying to say, why do we even need to see these files? Could we just move? Let's just move on. There's nothing that's even going to be in here. You've got Congressmember Zink. Here's what he had to say uh today. Let's play it.
Unknown 0:37
It reminds me actually of the Russian collusion. Uh look, I've talked to Pam Bondi. Uh the list as I understand it is a victim list. Remember, you have horrendous crimes with children. And and and uh Chief Justice Roberts is mentioned, I understand, because he took a flight that Epstein owned. Uh so just necessarily knowing someone is not criminal, but you also have to protect the innocent. So I I the is my I don't understand that Trump, you know, asked the Trump administration, asked the judge uh to re to intervene, take a look at what what should be sealed, what is not sealed. Uh but I I just don't think there everyone's looking for this golden nugget and it just reminds me of the Russian collusion.

There's nothing there I can assure you with the President of the United States. That's it.
Ben Meiselas 1:32
How are these human beings even like how are these human beings? Let's just start there. How is this even real? And you've got Congress member Jimenez. Here's what he's got to say.
Unknown 1:41
things uh and to uh to young girls and uh and and he paid the ultimate price I guess you know with uh his own suicide. But um you know we need to move on. And again the the American people are more worried about you know uh you know tabletop uh issues, uh kitchen table issues, their economy, how much they're paying for gas, uh you know, uh how much money that can they can they put keep in their pockets uh once the effects of uh the big beautiful bill take effect uh with no tax on tips and overtime social security uh you know lowering gas prices through uh energy dominance. I think the the American people are a lot more interested in that than the other
Ben Meiselas 2:20
Literally just saying words. Social security. What what about social? What do you even mean? All right. And then you have uh MAGA Republican Senator Roger Marshall saying the real thing we need to focus on is. Hillary Clinton. Hillary.
Jim Himes 2:35
Minimal impact on the election and Barack says, oh no, let's change that narrative. Let's go out there and delegitimize the election and tell the American people that that uh Russia interfered with the election.

What does Rep. Jared Moskowitz say about the DOJ’s likely obstruction of the Epstein files?

Jim Himes 2:45
Otherwise, how in the world could Hillary Clinton uh be beaten? Never mind that she was on tranquilizers at the time and and to her wits in and was thrive was craving for all the power she can get. Look again, this is the threat to democracy. This is the truth that to democracy. when the when the President of the United States weaponizes the entire intelligence agency and the legacy media against the future president of the United States, the duly elected future president of the United States. W what?
Ben Meiselas 3:13

Jared Moskowitz 3:21
Good afternoon. Well, I mean, uh, you know, Mike Johnson uh sent us away, he sent us on vacation to try to escape. uh the Epstein thing. So I I'm on an island. Uh not not that one. Um and and I had this ridiculous shirt. No, look, I'm in my office. I'm still wearing the ridiculous shirt for you. Can you believe can you believe they sent us home? So I I listened to my colleagues with all due respect to them. And if what they were saying were true, why are we home? Why are we here? Why did they send us out of Washington early? Why did they cancel committees? Why did they cancel votes? If they weren't running away, what are they hiding? And and so, you know, it is ironic. The reason we're talking about this is because Donald Trump talked about it, and Don Jr.
