Massie, who is behind the Epstein Transparency Act, has threatened the DoJ he will read out the unredacted names of all those communicating with Epstein in the files.
He has ‘privilege’ due to how Congress works (a bit how Parliament is here)
Also Maxwell is in a hearing soon, but is likely to ‘plead the 5th’ to all questions. [Post edited 9 Feb 13:13]

Another Peer gone due to links to a sex offender

I thought that was a photo of Rolf Harris when I first looked at it. |  | | |

And now an MSP

Yet, Lutnick had lunch with Epstein on his island, kept in contact for 10 years after conviction (and lied under oath about it) and has the full backing of Trump
That is two tier…

This will undoubtedly come up at PMQs but it is interesting to note that the daughter of Philip Gould (is there a pattern here?) was being economical with the truth this morning.
"'No 10 did not know before they made the decision to give him the peerage,' the schools minister, Georgia Gould, told Sky News when questioned about the Doyle peerage.
Challenged about the fact that a Sunday Times story reported on 27 December that Downing Street had investigated Doyle’s continued support for Sean Morton after he was charged with indecent child image offences, Gould said the announcement was made on 10 December."
This from an article on LBC on 27 December.
"The Sunday Times reports Downing Street was aware of the association between Mr Doyle and Morton and it was explicitly brought to the attention of Morgan McSweeney, Starmer’s chief of staff, and Jill Cuthbertson, McSweeney’s deputy, leading to an internal inquiry.
A No 10 spokeswoman said: “Questions regarding Matthew Doyle’s past acquaintance with Sean Morton were thoroughly investigated, including through several interviews with Matthew Doyle, prior to his appointment [to the Lords].”
It is understood that after careful consideration, No 10 was satisfied that a past acquaintance did not represent a bar to Mr Doyle receiving a peerage."
And it's hardly a ringing endorsement of the judgment of No.10. [Post edited 11 Feb 11:35]

This was brought up at PMQs and overall I thought he had no answers to Badenoch's various attack lines.
And here's something from Stephen Bush of the FT, someone who I would regard as being a centrist.
"As political calls go, this is not a difficult one. It’s perfectly fine in my view to believe a friend’s claims of innocence, but if they then go on to plead guilty, the obvious political reality is that you are never going to be a viable candidate for membership of the House of Lords. Frankly, if they do not plead guilty and continue to protest their innocence, unless or until they are acquitted, you are not going to be a viable candidate for membership of the House of Lords.
To grasp that you should not need to be, or employ, “a brilliant strategist, focused ruthlessly on what the voters think”, as many connected to this government keep telling me the departed Morgan McSweeney was.
If you oversee a Downing Street operation that cannot get such an obvious call right, what other mistakes are you making?" [Post edited 11 Feb 12:31]
