Thomas Massie Destroys Trump Verdict AND Congress With Some Brutal Truths About 'Hush Money'
Thomas Massie Destroys Trump Verdict AND Congress With Some Brutal Truths About 'Hush Money'
[From the below: “Congress has paid over $17 million in hush money for sexual misconduct inside of the offices in these buildings. And what's more, is that it was taxpayer money.” “The allegation is that President Trump paid $130,000 of his own money. I mean, I'm for turning loose ALL of these records -- who had the taxpayer pay for their sexual misconduct charges, the hush money.” - JRD]
“There's often a running debate on Twitter (and here at Twitchy) as to who is the dumbest member of Congress. The problem is, so many of them keep outdoing themselves, it's difficult to consistently declare a winner. From Jamaal Bowman pulling a fire alarm to 'exit a building' to Hank Johnson worrying about Guam tipping over to Sheila Jackson Lee delivering her treatise on the sun and the moon during the last solar eclipse, it's like a never-ending Olympics of idiocy.” “ [“The lowest rise to the top.” Frederick Hayek. - JRD]
On the other hand, picking the SMARTEST member of Congress is usually a little easier because there are so few candidates. But whenever we think about who that might be, there's no question that Rep. Thomas Massie is at the top of the list.
Yesterday, the MIT-educated engineer and inventor turned Kentucky Congressman delivered a brutal lecture during a House Judiciary Committee hearing that not only destroyed the lawfare behind the recent conviction of Donald Trump for hush money payments but also likely had several of his colleagues looking for the nearest exit out of the room.
The hearing was specifically held to examine the Manhattan District Attorney's office under Alvin Bragg and included prominent witnesses such as Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey and FEC Commissioner Trey Trainor. When Massie's turn to speak came up, he demolished the entire case -- and Congress' hypocrisy -- in just a few minutes. Watch:
“After Trainor and Massie exchanged comments about how there is no legal basis for Bragg's charges, including examples from Hillary Clinton and, hilariously, Massie imagining paying hush money to his wife to keep her quiet (LOL), Massie brought out the big guns:
—
“Is Congress's $17 million sexual misconduct hush money fund campaign finance violations? Rep. Thomas Massie highlights that Congress's hush money payments would be considered campaign finance violations under Alvin Bragg's novel theory used to target President Trump.”
Congress has paid over $17 million in hush money for sexual misconduct inside of the offices in these buildings. And what's more, is that it was taxpayer money. The allegation is that President Trump paid $130,000 of his own money.
But here in Congress, there might be some here on this dais -- I mean, I'm for turning loose ALL of these records -- who had the taxpayer pay for their sexual misconduct charges, the hush money. I bet there's some over there, there may be some over here. I don't know, but I do know it's taxpayer money. And I do know that not a single penny of it has been turned in as a campaign finance expense. Is the FEC going to investigate the $17 million dollars that Congress has paid behind closed doors for these sexual misconduct allegations?'
BOOM. We imagine many representatives suddenly got obsessed with staring at their shoes at that moment. And then Massie said he might file a complaint so the FEC WOULD investigate Congressional hush money.
We wouldn't bet against him doing that.
Finally, Massie, Trainor, Bailey, and Attorney Elizabeth Price Foley all agreed that the verdict should and will be reversed on legal and Constitutional grounds, leading Massie to close with his last truth bomb:
'The irony here is that this is going to be vacated and this trial was all about trying to influence an election using the process as punishment.'
Then he introduced into the record several media reports about Congressional hush money payments for sexual misconduct. He had previously shared one of those media reports on Twitter at the end of May.
