This one is a bit of a barn burner. Mr. Fanone made an appearance on MS NOW and blew something out of the water. He made a stunning statement that took host Ana Cabrera completely by surprise (as you will see). It’s not something to be said lightly. And the word of the day, at least for this column, is WOW. Compliments to Raw Story:
MS NOW host Ana Cabrera was quick to issue a disclaimer on Monday morning after ex-Capitol cop Michael Fanone made unfounded allegations that Donald Trump has been accused of sexually assaulting children live on air. Fanone, who became the face of the police officers who were assaulted by Trump’s supporters on Jan 6, which led to his early retirement, was invited on the network to discuss the upcoming “No Kings” protests scheduled for Saturday.
My goodness. It doesn’t sound like something a police officer would say. And it isn’t something that’s just blurted out. We know he’s unhappy with essentially being forced to retire after the insurrection. We know he’s unhappy because of the deaths and the other forced retirements. But this is something I would never have expected him to say.
Towards the conclusion of the interview, the subject of Donald Trump’s war in Iran came up, and Fanone repeated a popular accusation that the unprovoked war was launched to get the Jeffrey Epstein files that have been plaguing the White House off the front pages. “I’m just thinking about all the things that have happened in the months since the last No Kings protests. We are in a war with Iran. There was the Venezuela military action. We’ve seen ICE on the streets of Minneapolis killing U.S. citizens. Talk to us about what you think is at stake in this moment,” Cabrera prompted her guest.
We’ve all been thinking the war was started to distract from Epstein. It isn’t working very well because we’ve made many mistakes in this war that America didn’t want. The damn thing is illegal. We’re losing people. We’re burning through armament faster than we can replace it. There’s no way out. It could very well have been done for that reason. It does seem more likely we were strong-armed into it, but we don’t have enough information to even make a guess. We’re in it now. But I still see something about Epstein every 2 to 3 days. That’s not going away.
“Everything is at stake. The future of our democracy is at stake,” he replied. “You know, do we want to continue living our lives under an administration where cruelty is the point? No. I mean, the answer to that question is a resounding no. Do we want to continue living under an administration that’s willing to send our service members and women to die in a foreign country because there’s ample evidence that Donald Trump has had sexual relations with underage children? I think the answer to that question is no.” “Michael Fanone, thank you,” Cabrera interjected. “I should note the president has not been charged with any crime and denies any wrongdoing as it relates to the Jeffrey Epstein case, which I think you were referring to there.”
SCORCH. I cannot imagine seeing that live. It just blows my mind. People listen to Mr. Fanone. After all, he was there on J6. But for him to come out and say this was stunning. I’m sure it caught everyone by surprise. Yes, there is evidence that Dumbass Donnie had relations with underage children. But there is no actual *proof* that has been found yet, thanks to the DoJ and Blondi. He’s in the files *that we’ve seen* far too many times for him to be innocent. But that’s only my opinion and doesn’t mean I can speak for anyone else.
Cruelty is the point. Ain’t that the truth? They do not care. America can go under, and they won’t do a damn thing to stop it. We have idiots in a ‘cabinet’ that barely know their own names, let alone how to handle their offices. And we have a sleazy president who is doing nothing but screwing up. Thank you, Mr. Fanone, for saying what needed to be said.
See you soon!
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
He’s right. There’s plenty of evidence – but it’s being suppressd/hidden by the Trumpists he’s put in charge of the DOJ.
Released FBI Interviews (March 2026): Following complaints, the DOJ released three previously withheld FBI interview reports (302s) from 2019. These documents include accounts from a woman who alleged she was introduced to Trump by Epstein and subsequently assaulted by him when she was roughly 14 years old.
“Missing” Files Accusation: In February 2026, investigations by NPR and other outlets, confirmed by Rep. Robert Garcia, found that 53 pages of interview summaries and notes detailing a 2019 abuse complaint against Trump were not included in the public Epstein database, despite appearing in document indices.
Content of Allegations: The released documents contain unverified allegations from various sources, including one report stating an unidentified woman said she was introduced to Trump in the early 1980s and was assaulted by him when she was 14. Another document mentions a witness recalling a 1995 phone conversation where Trump discussed “abusing some girl”.
The FBI took the then 14 year old’s complaints seriously, which is why they were recorded as a 302 document.
The investigations to these reports seem to be ‘unrecorded’.
Fanone’s statement was correct: there’s evidence that our scumbag president abused children. Not proof, no, because it’s never come to court, but evidence lies hidden by Trump’s corrupt protectors. We may never see “proof” in the smoking-gun sense, in videos for example; in such cases, there are rarely witnesses, soit comes down tothe word of the victim against her alleged abuser. Given Trump’s track record of accusations against him from women of all ages, I think we can reasonably presume some level of guilt.
My Congressional Rep. is Emmer. I write him weekly, sometimes daily. My sign off always includes “And just for you Rep. Emmer, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN, EPSTEIN!”
remember that before the 2016 election trump was about to be tried for raping an underage girl. she gave up due to all the maga death threats. there must have been evidence for that and there were, as i recall, “highly credible” witnesses. i believe it was a state case, not federal but may (or may not) have occured at an epstein party.
