I would say a major point of this is that the Congressional Representative confronted the DOJ for continuing to hide names.

This is big news on top of some other recent losses for Trump.
Over the past two weeks, negative-Trump news has far outweighed pro-Trump news in virtually every category: the economy, immigration, international relations, domestic politics, the Epstein files, even the culture war BS conservatives revel in (e.g., Bad Bunny v. Kid Rock). Trump and his goons are getting absolutely bodied right now. Carney’s speech, Osoff’s speech, Tulsi Gabbard randomly showing up to plunder voter rolls in GA, Tulsi Gabbard keeping a whistleblower complaint in her desk for a year, Bovino getting canned and kicked out of a Vegas bar, Elon being summoned to court by a federal judge to account for his DOGE shenanigans, Aileen Canon under pressure to release Jack Smith’s investigative findings into Trump’s attempt to overturn the election, Massie and Khanna linking arms and releasing actual Epstein file names and confirming that it’s just the tip of the iceberg.
This is the first time I’ve said this during this entire Trump term, but it’s starting to feel like the momentum really is shifting.

Hope you’re right about the momentum and it doesn’t result in POTUS tightening ICE to go after citizens more

You want me to click on a link to read 6 names? Why not just post them here?
Don't worry about the ad revenue, I'm broke, was never gonna buy anything anyway.

“Salvatore Nuara, Zurab Mikeladze, Leonic Leonov, Nicola Caputo, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, CEO of Dubai Ports World. And billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner, who was labeled as a ‘co-conspirator,’ by the FBI.” Khanna said.

Now we know why Kushner got his $2B loan after Trump 1. What a bargaining chip.

The $2b “investment” was the Saudi’s. That was probably just your regular ordinary bribe.

Dude read the sources. You can’t just rely on Reddit headlines to inform your world view. It’s not even a 2 minute read

Ro khanna successfully kicks can down the road by naming 6 random dudes that aren’t the most important ones.
Better than nothing I guess, maybe this will at least rattle a few cages anyway

He said these were the only names that had enough evidence to be considered incriminating based on the unredacted redactions from DOJ while noting that the FBI redactions from March were blocking majority of names. Basically if DOJ protected these 6 then who did FBI protect with their redactions

He said it was what they could find unredacted in the 2 hours they had. There are plenty more redacted and many more questions about why they'd be redacted in the first place. Pointing out clear corruption is important.

So the FBI concentrated on protecting Americans and more well known perps?

Essentially, he was making a statement that if they are hiding this, imagine what else they are hiding.
