[Disclaimer: the picture may be a fake, but it’s suitable for the column.] Trump has been nasty for a long, long time, but this one is horrifying. Back in the Epstein days, he did something that’s damn vile. Threats to not only a girl, likely underage, but also her family. He’s been that depraved for a long, long time. He’s continuing to surprise us, in a bad way, and it’s ongoing. But this one? Oof. With thanks to Raw Story:
Under penalty of perjury, a witness told the FBI back in 2016 that they had “personally witnessed” President Donald Trump threaten to “disappear” a girl and have her entire family killed, according to a document released by the Justice Department on Friday. Released as part of the DOJ’s publication of around 3.5 million files on Jeffrey Epstein, the FBI tip was submitted by an individual using the pseudonym “Tiffany Doe,” and includes details of an alleged threat Trump made to a plaintiff in a lawsuit.
“I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling Plaintiff that she shouldn’t ever say anything if she didn’t want to disappear like the 12-year-old female [redacted], and that he was capable of having her whole family killed,” the FBI tip reads, signed under penalty of perjury on June 18, 2016.
Disappear and have her family killed. What a disgusting piece of work he is. It’s hard to believe that sort of shizzle still happens. Trump would have fit in well in the “gangster” era. How in the hell do you *say* something like that to a girl? And make no mistake, she had to have been a girl and underage. That’s beyond fear. That’s terrorizing. JFC.
The plaintiff claimed to have been employed by Epstein from 1990 to 2000, and told the FBI that she was personally threatened by Epstein in a similar manner to the way she alleged Trump had threatened the unknown plaintiff in the unknown lawsuit. “I was personally threatened by Mr. Epstein that I would be killed and my family killed as well if I ever disclosed any of the physical and sexual abuse of minor females that I had personally witnessed by Mr. Epstein or any of his guests,” the FBI tip reads.
As journalists and analysts continue to scour the 3.5 million Epstein files, more accusations against Trump have been unearthed, including a child sex abuse tip against Trump that was passed to the FBI for further investigation, as well as an allegation that Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell had attempted to “effectively pimp” a young girl to Trump.
The more that’s read about Epstein, the creepier he gets. The underage girls were bad enough, but then drop something like that on top of it? Daaaaaaamn. He really thought he was untouchable. It’s a pity he was killed. Spending the rest of his life in prison would have been marvelous. On the other hand, even the most hardened criminals hate pedophiles, so he still might not have made it that long.
Trump has been plagued by his past relationship with Epstein during his second stint in the White House, with Epstein once claiming to have been Trump’s “closest friend for 10 years.” Trump has also flown on Epstein’s private jet at least seven times in the 1990s, and, according to documents released in December by the DOJ, may have “spent hours” with one of Epstein’s victims at his home. Trump has denied any wrongdoing as it relates to his past relationship with Epstein and is not facing any criminal charges.
Well, if he hadn’t opened his yap and promised to release the Epstein files, he might not be having such a tough time now. He made a promise, and MAGA expected him to follow through on it. *He* knew he was in them, so he fought really hard against the release until his back was against the wall, and he couldn’t stop it any longer. Serves him right.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise that among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest-working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
Trump lies like most people breathe.
He figured he could use the files as a campaign line, then distract later.
Trouble is, MAGA isn’t letting this one go.
No, they most certainly are not. More trouble to him!
I’m glad people are finally picking up on this. There actually could be some bodies buried out there, which could be why Epstein was silenced, and why Maxwell has been given everything she wants short of a pardon. The truth will out.
In my admittedly limited experience, even the most hardened criminals hate pedophiles. So there’s that. But until I read this article I never thought about actual *bodies*. It’s unsettling.
‘P’OTUS it seems is using high office to shield not only himself, but others who are connected by the same evil deeds and sins, from the application of the relevant force of the law, that should be applied to them all. He’s surely got to outsmart himself, in the near future. Fingers crossed!
He might very well have done so in a piece I’ll be posting later tonight. But I’ll take more!
I have a very sick feeling. My uncles got away with their shit because my mother said they “loved” me and wouldn’t hurt me. It was about effing hurt. It was violations.
Is 47 going to get away with this?
This supposedly happened years ago, but straight up answer/opinion? I don’t know. It may be too late. At least it’s out there. It doesn’t mean much when you think about the girl. The mental fckery of gymnastics was NOTHING compared to this.
