what's up, everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. A couple of weeks ago, we were talking about Eric Swalwell and the allegations that have been made against him. Well, now we're hearing more allegations, but this time against Thomas Massie. And these allegations are being made by a woman named Cynthia west who says that she had a relationship with Thomas Massie. But according to her, she ended up ending that relationship because she wasn't comfortable with some of the behavior and some of the desires of Thomas Massie. And she alleges that hush money was offered to her to keep quiet, but she didn't take that money. Now, of course, we have to keep in mind that Thomas Massie has been a very vocal critic of Donald Trump, and he's also up for re election in a few days. So we have to always keep in mind that it could be some sort of political attack. But with that said, we have to also keep in mind that this lady could be telling the truth. I mean, Massie is no different than anybody else. He's not above speculation, he's not above reproach. And if somebody's making credible allegations against you, we're gonna listen. Now, that doesn't mean I think Massey's guilty. Just like I told you with Swalwell. I don't know. I don't have all the details. But I'll tell you this much. It's not looking great for Thomas Massie right now. And if these allegations prove to be true, it's a wrap for Thomas Massie. So today we have an article from Newsweek and the headline, who is Cynthia West? Thomas Massie, accusations explained. This article was authored by Hugh Cameron. The former girlfriend of Kentucky Republican Thomas Massie has accused a congressman of offering her hush money in exchange for not speaking out against one of his allies on Capitol Hill just days before the GOP representative faces a primary against a Trump endorsed challenger. And when I say be cautious, that's all I mean. When we're talking about politics, we know that there's no holds barred and everything's on the table. And People are going to look to do whatever they have to do to try and, you know, win the election. And if there's an inroad with you supposedly, you know, doing what Thomas Massie allegedly did, that's going to be utilized. Cynthia West, a former congressional aide now running for school board in Florida, has alleged that Massie secured her a job in Congress in the office of Republican Representative Victoria Sparks of Indiana after the pair struck up a romantic relationship. However, west said Massey said soon began engaging in behavior she wasn't comfortable with, after which she ended the relationship. And look, there's some concerning stuff here and it looks like some of the stuff that Ms. West is saying is backed up. And if you look at some of her previous posts, she was talking about this months ago. So I'm certainly interested to hear what she has to say and I'm willing to listen to whatever evidence she puts forth. As I've told you from the very beginning, I don't have any faves. These politicians, they're not people to look up to. They're not people that you should be defending to your very last breath. They don't care about you. They tell you what you want to hear, but they don't care about you. Wes said that Massie offered her $5,000 after she said she would file a wrongful termination complaint against Barts who said she had fostered a toxic work environment. West said she declined this as well as $60,000 settlement payment from the Office of Congressional Workplace Rights which would have required her to sign a non disclosure agreement. And that's part of that slush fund we talked about and boy that's horrible and it's really disgusting. If that's the case, if Massie was involved in trying to pay this lady off, after all his bullshit about Epstein, I don't want to hear from him ever again. All these double speaking ass politicians, they can all go get screwed. I don't trust any of them. Massie declined to comment when reached by Axios and he referred the outlet to attorney and political ally Stephen Doan who wrote on social media that there was an absence of any specific verifiable allegations from west and that she had documented history of making false abuse allegations. Alright, let's see the evidence. I want to see the evidence from both sides. What do we got? What are we working with? Is this a political hit or is Thomas Massie just another big mouth that's trying to utilize the Epstein situation for his own benefit, which of course I don't put past him. Just another Politician doing politician shit. But keep in mind, if he did offer to briber and pay her off, that's a federal offense and he could definitely be charged. Now, I don't know if they will, and I don't even know if it's true, but that's certainly a possibility. Newsweek has contacted west, the offices of Massey and Sparks, and the OCWR for comment via email. West allegations first emerged in an interview with conservative Kentucky lawyer Marcus Carey that was posted on the website conceivedinliberty.org in the 23 minute interview, west said Massey privately messaged her on X In August of 2024, two months after the death of his wife, Rhonda, and that the pair quickly began an intense relationship. So weird. I don't think I've ever sent a message to some random stranger on X. What is that, like a hookup site? Now, west said he joined Massey on political excursions and that he encouraged her to leave her job and come to D.C. to spend more time together. He later secured her a job in Spart's office. She added, and if all that's true and that's the case, then Thomas Massie's in big trouble. And I don't just mean the optics. I mean big trouble. And if you're gonna position yourself as some champion for transparency and for the fair treatment of people and for the rule of law, you better walk the walk. Because if you don't, you're gonna get hammered. If you're running around being a hypocrite about something like this, you're gonna be exposed. However, Wes said she broke off the relationship after Massey asked her to engage in behavior that I just wasn't comfortable with. So I just couldn't stay in that relationship. And I get that, right? Not everybody's comfortable with everything. And honestly, what people do in their bedroom is not my business. As long as it's between consenting adults, I don't care what you do. Have at it. You want to dress as a unicorn and have your dude dress as Jason Voorhees. I don't care if that's what gets you off, have a blast. I'm not some puritan. I'm not somebody that thinks, you know, oh, well, this is evil. This is bad. God says I don't do that because it's none of my business. What is my business is taxpayer dollars being used to pay people off. If they're making accusations against a politician, that's my business. And if these allegations are true, then Thomas Massie, he's on the clock however, Wes said she broke off the relationship after Massie asked her to engage in behavior that I just wasn't comfortable with. So I just couldn't stay in that relationship. Wes called Massie emotionally abusive, and she said that shortly after the breakup with him, she found out via text message that she had been fired. I hadn't done anything wrong, west said. So playing devil's advocate, could this be retaliation because she was fired and she wants to get back at Massie so she makes up these allegations? I don't know. It's a possibility. But I have to tell you, I don't think that Massey's reaction here is very good. He's not getting out in front of it. He's not challenging the allegations made against him, and he's acting like nobody's saying anything about him. But the truth is, what she's saying is pretty damning. And it's also going to be harmful to the Epstein transparency push, because people are going to use this to try and say, oh, look, it's all just a big hoax. Thomas Massie is a diddler himself, and they're already starting to do that. When she contacted the OCWR regarding her termination and informed Massie of her pending ethics complaint, Wes said he offered her cow money earned from his farm in Kentucky to just walk away. He offered her cow money? What the fuck does that mean? He had $5,000 that he said he would give me if I just walk away. I didn't take it, though. $5,000? That's it? Brother, you better have a bigger bag. Nobody's walking away for five GS. You're some congressman, Mr. Big Mouth about Epstein all the time. 5,000 measly bucks. You better go to the bank. According to Legistorm, west work between December 2024 and March 2025 as an operations and scheduling director for Sparts, who represents Indiana's 5th congressional district. Records from Spart's office show that west was employed between early January and late March and that she was paid $17,111.10 during this 12 week period. Yo, 5,300 bucks a week or so. Pretty good money, huh? A spokesperson for Sparks told Axios that west held a temporary 90 day probationary period with the office and her employment was not extended beyond that period due to unsatisfactory job performance. Okay, we have to take that into account. Could this be her trying to get revenge? Well, I got fired, so f them something to think about. And my guess is that's going to be Massey's Defense Massie has directed outlets to comments Doane made on X, in which he said that in 2024 a court in Florida dismissed a domestic violence complaint west had made against her then husband, Timothy West. Quite the tangled web, isn't it? And I have advice for all these people. Don't be an if you're not an and you don't treat people badly, you don't have to worry about people coming back and telling stories about you, she told Axios the petition failed because she chose to represent herself rather than hire an attorney, as court records confirm. Newsweek's contacted Timothy west for comment via the attorney who represented him in the domestic violence case. Doane, who serves is in the Kentucky House of Representatives, did not directly counter west allegation against Massie, but he said she had provided no evidence of any kind to support these and that's what it's going to come down to, right? Evidence? Is there evidence one way or the other? And if there is, Thomas Massie's out and maybe more. Massie, who's seeking an eighth term in the House, is running against Trump backed Ed Gallerin in the primary election for Kentucky's 1st 4th congressional district. The race, which is scheduled for May 19, has become the most expensive House primary in history, which Massey has attributed to his clashes with Trump and the administration and his criticism of the US Support for Israel. Oh, he's definitely faced a lot of blowback, 100%. And that's why I say be a little bit cautious here because when it comes to politics, you never know. But I think we need more information, right? There needs to be a little bit more documentation and, and some evidence. And according to Ms. West, she has that evidence. West, meanwhile, is running for the Okaloosa County School Board in Florida, where she's hoping to unseat Brett Henley, who was appointed by Republican Governor Ron DeSantis. In a recent interview with Florida Politics, she said she was running to improve transparency and long term planning for the country's schools. West said in her interview with Carrie that she was neither affiliated nor working with any political candidate in Kentucky and had not been paid to bring forward the allegations against Massie. All right, well, we have to take her at her word, right? I'll give her the benefit of the doubt. Let's see what you have to say. According to campaign finance records on voterfocus.com, west has raised over $80,000 to support her school board bid. This includes 77,000 secured from October through December of last year, which comprised $1,000 donations from named individuals and businesses and a $65,000 loan from west to herself. All right, look, we don't know what happened here, right? This is very early and we're just getting the first salvo of allegations, but it's very concerning. And when you run around talking the way Massey has, you better be living a pretty virtuous life. Because if not, this is the end result. So what do you guys think? Do you think that Thomas Massie is being attacked here? Or do you think that this has some legs? Shoot me some emails and let me know.
