'(Washington, DC) – Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) made explosive remarks regarding the still-sealed files tied to Jeffrey Epstein, saying the full, unredacted documents would “haunt you for the rest of your life.”'

Speaking about crimes involving minors, Burchett argued the country needs the “guts” to carry out executions for convicted child predators.

“It’s the truth! We need to execute them. We need to quit with this nonsense of them sitting on death row for 30 years,” Burchett said.

He went further, describing the crimes as “evil” and “satanic,” adding that those responsible would “go straight to the pits of hell.”

The perpetrators, Ms. Bondi, must be seen and named.

it sounds like the worst claims we have heard to date may be accurate.

I'm still at a loss however to understand why more of this has not been leaked and, how the hell the "Justice" Department is still getting away with all the illegal redactions. Are there at least no lawsuits to be brought here??

He is a known idiot. Do not count on him being consistent or correct. We call him Tim Birdshit.

I'm wondering why he's so shocked by what he saw in the unredacted files.

But maybe this guy has never seen pornography in his life? It's possible but not likely. There were a lot of videos, DVDs (homemade variety and professionally produced) in the Epstein files, and the none of that has gone out yet.

You can bank on it.

Anyone who would rape a child likely doesn't have any qualms about killing a child, too.
