JOHNSON on EPSTEIN situation: "I've been on record very clearly that I believe in maximum transparency. I think every single House Republican will say the same thing. In fact, they told me that publicly and privately ... "We want maximum transparency. We also understand the other part of that duty is that we have to protect innocent victims. Okay, we have to do both things at the same time. "What do we mean by that? Look involved in the Epstein evil. Okay, which is what it was? Let's call it what it was. There are innocent victims of those unspeakable sex crimes, okay? It some of them were minors. Some of them were not. When the when the Epstein records are turned over to the public, which we must do as quickly as possible, we have to also be very judicious and careful about protecting the innocent. I think everybody in the country should understand the necessity of that."
