Not surprising in the least that an independent journalist uncovered the missing files. It's why we need to support Popular Information and other smaller entities who hold the powerful accountable.
Great reporting as always. While this probably won’t be reported by most news outlets there are people who aren’t afraid to report on it or don't take bribes not to report it.
A writer by the name of Sarah Kendzior highlights this incident in one of her books back in 2016.
Which makes you wonder how much more damning evidence has been withheld or redacted to protect Trump and other powerful pedos.
I keep getting the notion that there's some massive new shoe that's going to drop on Trump. Something really big that he's hiding. Well, other than his recruitment by the KGB back in the 1980's, and his decades of service to them since. Ourra Pobieda, Comrade Donald!
Nubby, that is a collective feeling. We know Twump is owned by Putin, the strings are there and they will be found. We know that Twump is capable of anything given his entitlement and contempt for women. We know he is a complete shit to women, as evidenced by his treatment of Ivana, Marla, and Melania. We know he pushes himself onto women in hallways, board rooms, airplanes as evidenced by the two dozen adult women who came forward in 2016. We know he likes to "grab them by the pussy" by his own words. But mostly we know about his bro love for Epstein when the two were besties and both lived and partied in the same cities. And we most def know that Epstein was a fn monster.
What you are feeling is intuition and women, we got nothing but. No one can get near Epstein (figuratively) or Twump (because he stinks), without feeling (knowing) the man is rotten.
As these pieces are put together, the picture that emerges is not pretty, not kind and not nothing but criminal treatment of a thousand or more girls and women trafficked around the world by and for Epstein. He did not do it alone.
No doubt about it and a lot of evidence to support it. I am sad that Virginia Guiffre had had enough, poor woman. She might be frustrated by the pace but not by the outrage, finally, for those girls and what they went through. So many girls, so little attention paid. And where the fuck is Acosta? He needs to be arrested NOW. Pardon my French.
Acosta AND Barry Krischer, the FL DA who prosecuted at the state level. There's virtually *zero* mention of these criminals in the MSM. Not even in MS-Now. Time for the fricking reporters to get up off their asses and work this.
Well, it’s likely that many male MAGA members are all about “gettin’ to ‘em young” and fully understand that DJT was just acting on “real man” instincts.
Believe it or not it was reported by AP and was the leading headline on NYT yesterday. Didn’t make a blip though. I cannot believe this country will just move on from this like nothing happened.
The seriousness and the truth contained in these “missing” files is what Trump is fighting so desperately to keep hidden. He knows that if this comes out before the midterms his goose and that of his sycophants in the rethuglican party is cooked. He will not only be impeached, convicted and removed, but he may finally face the justice in a courtroom that he has so far evaded.
Sex scandals in political circles is nothing new. This predatory abuse of very young girls is what is repugnant to anyone with a conscience.
I keep wanting to follow the money on this business of Trump running teenage beauty contests and Epstein’s endless need for access to teenage girls.
It would be consistent with all parties involved for Trump to have monetized that situation. That’s bigger than violating any single girl because that would have created a “business” causing numerous girls to be violated by numerous men.
Yet corporate media did not stress this before 2016 election.
Once Donnie is gone, there will be an explosion of accountability of the pseudo important people. If not an oligarch, only fools would risk this. But for a flash of power, money, or fame people throughout history have sold sell their soul to the devil.
Answer: coverup. Now that the names of the victims have been revealed, there is no need to redact ANY names. Release every file unredacted, and let the truth out.
The corruption of the Republican Party has been completed. They support a corrupt child molester and the imprisonment of families. There is no excuse for them, particularly since they talk about how religious they are. What they worship is the golden calf.
Child molestation and rape, families imprisoned and tortured, the use of the justice department to go after political enemies, the murder of protesters on the street, the terrorizing of American cities and towns with masked armed thugs, the lying, lying, lying by a corrupt and failing leader, the contempt held by the second in command for anybody not in agreement with him and the utter absolute racist policies and public degradation of women and people of color - all part of the Republican brand now. No excuse for backing Twump except hatred of others, especially gays, women, POCs, immigrants and Goldberg, I mean Joe Biden.
We know the answers to the two questions you pose in your last paragraph. My question is when will ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, the NY Times and Washington Post publicize any of this? Wouldn’t it be really great if Rupert Murdoch finally realizes the damage he has caused by continuing to support this ignorant SOB and let Sean Hannity release this? Trump’s head would explode.
Rupert Murdoch is not going to have a come to Jesus moment. Stop fantasizing about these men having any feelings except survival and superiority. Just as Murdoch has a file on Twump, someone is holding a file on him.
You are right, of course, but we all need to be able to dream of a better future. Murdoch is the mastermind of the demolition of our democracy through the drip, drip, drip of half-truths, misinformation and outright lies spread by the “talking heads” on FOX just like he was the mastermind of Brexit that has resulted in the economic disaster in the UK.
And he will be welcome in hell where everyone will praise all the destruction his wrinkled ass was (drip, drip, drip) capable of. If I ruled the world....
He was just cashing in on the movement that the late unlamented Rush Limbaugh had going to propagandize and enrage the populace in this country who were too stupid and ignorant to know that they were being used.
The answer to Judd’s final question is easy. We do not have a department of “Justice”. We have a governmental agency that is designed to maintain order. We should rename the Justice Department the “Law and Order” Department. If that doesnt work lets have a naming contest with the only rule being that the new name can not be interpreted as Orwellian.
I look forward to the perfectly innocent explanations that are no doubt forthcoming for the entirety of the allegations raised in the Trump-Epstein Files.
For instance, "Oh, wait 'Jeffrey' Epstein? No no no, I was emailing about beef jerky and sulphuric acid with my friend GEOFFREY Epstein. No relation. Must have been a typo!"
Uh...because he's guilty as sin. Everyone knows it. The challenge is finding the smoking gun. Keep digging all of you news hounds. Let's bring this monster down.
and yet people continue to give this man their adulation and support....especially members of the republican party who cheered on this amoral person at his latest pep rally. you would kiss the hand of a man who would rape and molest your own daughters?
It’s such a common place ppl ignore when the phrase is used, but if there was this much evidence against a Democratic president they would have been impeached, tried by Senate&probably in criminal court. The sheer volume of women of variety of ages who have accused Trump of sexual assault is just staggering.
Trump supporters say all of these women were just trying to extort Trump. That’s ridiculous, the number of women who report sexual assault is a fraction of the real numbers. Why weren’t other rich men(who are more attractive)”attacked” in these numbers?
The thing is that unless you really know what you are doing nothing is ever truly lost especially on a network of hard drives and tape backups. Invite a forensic specialist or Anonymous hacker and they will find these files. If the FBI labs can recover data off of hard drives that have been broken, burned and hammered this stuff is still around. Todd Blanche and Pam Bondi may not be able to find it but I bet anyone of the ten FBI agents recently fired by Patel for doing their jobs in the Trump documents case can…
Even Maga's don't have a hard time believing these allegations against Trump, most know he is and was more than capable of beating and sexually abusing a child. Maga's quest for the mythical 85 cent a gallon gas has them indifferent to these heinous crimes. Even if this abused woman's story is ever told, it won't move the needle on Trumps maga worshipers. Hopefully it would in some way offer closure to the Woman's tragic encounter with Trumpstein.
Not surprising in the least that an independent journalist uncovered the missing files. It's why we need to support Popular Information and other smaller entities who hold the powerful accountable.

I have read of his mistreatment of Ivana. What about Marla and Melania?
I refuse to believe Melania is a victim. She is as much a victim as Bondi and Leavitt and Noem.
Trump trafficked girls from Mar-a-Lago to Epstein.
No doubt about it and a lot of evidence to support it. I am sad that Virginia Guiffre had had enough, poor woman. She might be frustrated by the pace but not by the outrage, finally, for those girls and what they went through. So many girls, so little attention paid. And where the fuck is Acosta?

Acosta AND Barry Krischer, the FL DA who prosecuted at the state level. There's virtually *zero* mention of these criminals in the MSM. Not even in MS-Now. Time for the fricking reporters to get up off their asses and work this.
YES Acosta and Krischer. Somebody needs to be saying those names LOUD.
How much “bigger” than pedophilia does it have to be?
Well, it’s likely that many male MAGA members are all about “gettin’ to ‘em young” and fully understand that DJT was just acting on “real man” instincts.
There is a lot of corruption and international connections. So bigger.
Maybe we should start with the Pedophilia and work are way down from there.
Maybe up from there?
I believe Pedophilia and sex trafficking is the Number #1 offense, you disagree?
Believe it or not it was reported by AP and was the leading headline on NYT yesterday. Didn’t make a blip though. I cannot believe this country will just move on from this like nothing happened.
Also MSNOW, Lawrence O'Donnell.
Last night's show was a full and detailed presentation.
Imo, it is making a blip.

Yeah, the GOP is now earning a new moniker as The Pedo-Protector Party. The Gang of Pedophiles.
I’m not even a little surprised.
I keep wanting to follow the money on this business of Trump running teenage beauty contests and Epstein’s endless need for access to teenage girls.
It would be consistent with all parties involved for Trump to have monetized that situation. That’s bigger than violating any single girl because that would have created a “business” causing numerous girls to be violated by numerous men.

After Trump, Republicans think they can escape blame. Don't let them.
None of this would be possible without the support of each and every Republican in our closely divided gorvernment.
Use the word "Republican" when discussing their crimes. Attach "Republican" to every crime. Say this when campaigning against Republican incumbents.
"A Republican murdered Former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark."
"Republicans murdered Renée Good and Alex Pretti."
"Republicans incarcerated hundreds of children."
"The only way to stop this is to vote out every Republican."
Kendzior is a great writer!
At what point does Blanche get held accountable?
I am guessing he goes down with Bondi and Patel.
That would be a banner day... Here is another one - https://cmarmitage.substack.com/p/did-clarence-thomas-commit-a-crime?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email
I second that.
Yes, the light just keeps flickering through those cracks in lies from this administration.
History will complete it but as Mike has so well pointed out…
There is a lot hidden but Judd and so many others keep searching, reporting, and making Truth the only goal!
We Thank You!🙏

There's a lag. NY Times has reported as has MSNBC and I believe NBC. Others may follow.

We should rename the Justice Department the “Law and Order” Department. If that doesnt work lets have a naming contest with the only rule being that the new name can not be interpreted as Orwellian.
Best to stick with Justice, imo. It is now the acting department of Injustice. This must pass.
I look forward to the perfectly innocent explanations that are no doubt forthcoming for the entirety of the allegations raised in the Trump-Epstein Files.

Uh...because he's guilty as sin. Everyone knows it. The challenge is finding the smoking gun. Keep digging all of you news hounds. Let's bring this monster down.
His publicly known history of aggression against women leads to one conclusion: he is guilty because this has been his lifelong pattern.
Yes!!!
and yet people continue to give this man their adulation and support....especially members of the republican party who cheered on this amoral person at his latest pep rally. you would kiss the hand of a man who would rape and molest your own daughters?

There’s just too much evidence to ignore.
This whole coverup sickens me. Justice matters. Always.
And still no accountability or actions by the Courts…. Oh Well, it was a pretty good Country, while it lasted.
The thing is that unless you really know what you are doing nothing is ever truly lost especially on a network of hard drives and tape backups.

It will move the needle with independents, though.
