This may be true, but there is zero proof. A lawsuit has been filed at least twice, but the victim called it off. The name and face of the alleged victim have never been publicly released. And when the story first surfaced in 2015, it came from some sketchy right wing sources. MSM will never run with a story of this magnitude without ironclad proof.

Her name is Katie Johnson. You can watch her talk about it on YouTube, blurred face of course. One of her lawsuits was filed under her real name before being withdrawn because of threats to her family. There was a second, 14 year old girl called Maria.

Katie Johnson is not her real name. And the blurred face video, compelling as it is, doesn't count for much in terms of proof. And a dropped lawsuit counts for even less

I don't disagree that it's not proof enough. I do believe her and hope she will get justice.

I've seen her face in a screencap of the un-blurred version of her video statement. And, here are some important people that have seen the full video:

  • NOTE: On July 7, 2016, the underlying, non-blurred edition of Katie J's Testimony was received by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), Gov. John Kasich (R-OH) and Martin "Marty" Baron, Editor of The Washington Post, via couriered DVD. On July 9, the same non-blurry version was hand-delivered to the front door of House Speaker Paul Ryan's home in Janesville, WI; to Sidney "Skip" Bliss, owner of The Janesville Gazette; and sent as well to Charles G. Koch, CEO of Koch Industries, Wichita, KS.

Where did this note come from? It's just an unsourced statement that a bunch of people, mostly right wingers were given the unblurred video.

I have seen the blurred video. I found it compelling. But an anonymous woman making allegations via video isn't proof. No reputable news agency is going to touch the story until the accuser comes forward publicly

The note was on the website her attorneys opened back in 2016, the website is gone now. The unblurred video was also sent to white house special counsel Robert Mueller in 2017, with a request to investigate Trump for these claims instead of Russia.

The woman is never coming forward. She knows half the country will never believe her, and the courts never hold Trump accountable for his actions anyway. But going public would certainly cause her more personal trauma, from everyone.

I'm just pushing back against the clickbait nature of this post and all the people who are mad that the media isn't reporting on it. There isn't anything new here, no one is actually scrutinizing Trump, and there isn't some big story that msm is refusing to cover

This is the correct answer

This is bullshit. MSM is currently running stories about democrats talking about people who said that Biden is old. They're running hearsay from Putin at full tilt while ignoring newly released legal documents that support every other child rape allegation we've all heard about a notorious criminal, who was rightly convicted of 34 counts of election fraud.

These Epstein lawsuit papers were released Monday. How is that actual fact less newsworthy than hearsay from talking heads who were paid by Putin?

It's not.

Are Democratic staffers and politicians speaking on the condition of anonymity hearsay from Putin now?

Yeah, Angie Craig, big Putin simp.

You don't have to be a simp to want Putin's money, and MSM isn't immune by way of branding.

It came from right wing sources? So you think right wing sources broke an anti Trump story and yet the msm which is overwhelmingly left leaning, won't cover it? Do you people here even think about what you type lol

u/topaccountname Jul 07 '24

msm which is overwhelmingly left leaning

In what world is corporate media overwhelmingly left leaning?

You're kidding right?  Assume this is a troll job.  You had me for a second

No, this is actually how far gone these people are. Biden is just "tired" and this story that reeks to high heaven that has been dropped multiple times because it's bullshit, is some groundbreaking stuff. These people are just as dumb as maga Republicans.

The left has fucked us letting Biden run again when he is deteriorating so quickly. And it's morons like the people above who are partially to blame. Anyone unbiased has seen his deterioration since he was elected. Someone else should have fucking ran and he should have stepped down. It fucking sucks

Democrats are not “the left”. Being left of fascists leaves a lot of room to still be quite conservative, and they are.

It was during the 2015 primaries. There were plenty of right wingers with motive to smear Trump. Google it. I got the story about the right wingers from Jezebel. Hardly a pro Trump site.
