56. A sanctimonious persin is one who makes a show of being morally superior to others.

Synonyms include holier-than-thou and self-righteous. All of these words certainly apply to Johnson. I have zero respect for him, because he's a hypocrite and a spineless today. I'm not, however, aware of any evidence that he's a pedophile.

Leaving all the above aside, he is, very definitely, a Trump sycophant. He has repeatedly demonstrated his willingness to bend over backwards to do the Orange Hellbeast's bidding, and this situation is no different. Trump obviously doesn't want the Epstein files released, and I'm sure Mikey will have hell to pay if he fails to prevent it from happening. I'm sure he would be willing to go to great lengths to avoid that. He doesn't need any motivation other than that.

I am both bemused and amused at how quick so many people here are to assume he's a pedophile, that he's trying to "protect pedophiles," or even that he's been directly involved in Epstein's pedo/sex trafficking activities, AS IF his obvious desire to keep Trump happy isn't more than sufficient motivation for his actions.

Johnson is sanctimonious, but there are many ways to be sanctimonious, not all of which include pedophilia.
