Democrat Rep Ro Khanna just had to make a major admission.
He posted this:
I appreciate @JSweetLI’s reporting confirming today that Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonid Leonov, and Nicola Caputo were just part of a photo line up and are not connected to Epstein’s crimes.
I wish DOJ had provided that explanation earlier instead of redacting then…

Journalist Michael Tracey responded with this:
So in other words, Ro Khanna and @RepThomasMassie defamed a bunch of random men as presumptive child-sex traffickers. Ro dramatically read their names aloud on the House floor — Massie declared they were “likely incriminated” in pedo sex crimes. Oops, just a little whoopsie? https://t.co/ciyKenFRC1

These clips also resurfaced.
Thomas Massie: “We found six men whose names have been redacted who are implicated in the way the files are presented.”
Four of them were totally random people selected years ago for an FBI lineup with no connection to Epstein’s crimes. https://t.co/upSpLpYR96 pic.twitter.com/dLESyzfaLv

Ro Khanna read the names of six people on the House floor and described them as “wealthy, powerful men” involved in Epstein’s crimes.
It turns out that 4 of them were just random people selected for an FBI photo lineup and had no connection to Epstein’s crimes. https://t.co/upSpLpYR96 pic.twitter.com/bbANktq9zZ

More Reactions:
Khanna referred to them as “wealthy, powerful men” in his House floor speech the other day.
It turns out that he had no idea who they were or how they were (or were not) connected to Epstein, and named them anyway. https://t.co/WHn7PpauZw

This idiot basically called a bunch of innocent people pedos from the house floor a few days ago and now he’s blaming the DOJ for his stupidity. These people are disgusting. https://t.co/jcF3UMqwSG

Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie are some of the dumbest retards ever to be in Congress. They knowingly and willfully ruined the lives of innocent people who had nothing to do with Epstein. https://t.co/lbHFJC9Urx

Your exact words three days ago were “they might be implicated.” Even in this interview, you are heavily insinuating there was a cover up and their names shouldn’t have been redacted.
So what exactly did you want to happen when you said that? https://t.co/QdeLnSx8SV

It is hard to put into words what we are currently seeing here.
We all want to see justice for the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. We all want to see anyone who committed crimes go to jail.
I don’t think the Trump administration handled this well. I also don’t think those in Congress have handled this well.
It has become completely politicalized.
Rather than owning up to the mistake Ro Khanna blames the Trump DOJ.
Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna did ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Epstein during Biden’s Presidency.
These are not noble men on a noble quest.
These are narcissistic charlatans bent on harming Donald Trump and the MAGA movement, at any cost–including reading out the names of totally…
