Clay Higgins was the sole vote against releasing the Epstein files. And it turns out that Clay Higgins firmly believes that sex crimes committed by wealthy white men are just not crimes, but a natural outgrowth of robust patriarchal society. He's the poster boy for the Louisiana GOP.
Clay Higgins built his brand on law and order. He pals around with a man guilty of incest.

“Even if the measure passes through the House and Senate and is signed into law, it's unlikely the Justice Dept would release the entire Epstein file. Any materials related to ongoing investigations or WH claims of executive privilege will likely remain out of public view.”

Trump: It's not the question that I mind. It's your attitude… I think the license should be taken away from ABC. We have a great commissioner, a chairman who should look at that.
