The House Judiciary Committee Democrats have released a trove of evidence regarding allegations of sexual assault, including a new rape allegation, against President Donald Trump in relation to Jeffrey Epstein that the lawmakers say has been deliberately covered up by the Department of Justice. The 50-page report, released Monday, contains testimony from 11 women who either accuse Trump of…

Donald was mentioned in the files more times than Jesus was mentioned in the Bible. Yeah, I’m not surprised that they managed to find testimony from 11 different women.

That's one thing, second things is that his name was 3rd most mentioned name in the released files after Maxwell and of course Epstein.

He clearly wasn't just a customer but part of the conspiracy. His whole modeling business was likely providing young girls to be exploited.

The fbi had it titled the trump-epstein trafficking case at least twice in the files before the big wave of redaction post release.

[-] KingOfSleep@lemmy.ca 83 points 5 days ago

Trump is mentioned in the (released) Epstein files more times than Harry Potter was mentioned in all seven Harry Potter books.

Shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

Someone who was listed over thirty thousand times in the trumpstein files-- I mean the Epstein files-- and who was proven in court to be a rapist, raped more than just one person??? Shocked...

These people need justice.

[-] Stormy@thelemmy.club 10 points 4 days ago

Over a million. Congress was allowed to view them unredacted and he was there over a million times.

[-] Karjalan@lemmy.world 14 points 4 days ago

It's unsatisfyingly ironic that the right is virtue signalling caring for children.

Anytime they hey outraged in defence of something. Children, women's sports, racism (when supposedly black people were constantly attacking Asian people over covid or people are mean to Israel), it's never actually that they give a shit about what they so vakiantly defending. It's just that they can use it as a tool to further shit on/stomp on a different group they already did, and want to more.

And by pretending to care about group, or cause, X it gives them, at least in their eyes, a "get out of bigotry free" card.

[-] modus@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

This is not the time for finger pointing or litigation. Thoughts and prayers are what the victims need. They are clearly confused by their trauma.

I bet you there's more in those unreleased Epstein files

[-] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 76 points 5 days ago

Of course. Over half documents are still not released and Todd Blanche argues they are just duplicates.

Then proceeds to fight in court release of those "duplicates". If they really are duplicates why waste time appealing, why not just release them?

Because these fascists are a bunch of lying cheating pedophile traitor filth, that's why.

the question is NOT whether he is guilty or not. it's how many Americans can work together to stop MAGA, it's like a foreign invading army, but it's just other Americans who DONT give af about the constitution or playing fair.

However: Trump is not the cause, do NOT focus on only Trump or His Family, though they also deserve scrutiny.

Trump/Maga are symptoms of something much more toxic and cancerous and indecent lurking with every American. Trail of Tears, The Mylai Massacre all was ordinary soldiers, same with Abu Grahib. Every century since it's inception the USA: rape rape rape, century in century out. cant even say the word on youtube to speak openly about it. Americans like to JOKE about "dont drop the soap" in the shower in prison, like prison rape is supposed to be funny or PART of the punishment!?!? the fuck is that shit. .

A lot of Americans are really sick. they pretend this stuff is normal.... Prove me wrong America.

[-] Zink@programming.dev 12 points 4 days ago

American here, and while somebody could righteously and pointlessly make a "not all americans" argument, you are spot on about the culture as a whole.

The rape history is valid but even that is a subset of the larger cultural issue where helping others is seen as weak and for suckers, while shameless greed and punching down are what the smart and the strong do. Look at none other than the president. He's a rapist and a scammer, sure, but he also brags about how he doesn't pay taxes because he's smart and his supporters eat it up.

Just pick the strongest case, prosecute him, and give him a life sentence, and get this shit over with.

[-] matlag@sh.itjust.works 12 points 4 days ago

No. For the sake of all his rapes survivors, he should be prosecuted for each and every assault he committed.

Let him be ashamed again and again, let the world knnw he's punished for each of them.

Don't let any of his victims believe they are insignificant. None of them is.

You mean the spoiled rich kid who always had what he wanted with zero regards to legality or morality and only got even more aggressive at it as he grew older, the same guy who was already convicted of rape, the guy who was notoriously friends with and a frequent customer of someone who was organizing human sex trafficking, the guy who is clearly abusing his position of power to shut down any investigation in that matter... you say he might have committed more sexual assaults in his life?

How is this surprising anyone at that point?

[-] Nobody@anarchist.nexus 58 points 5 days ago

I normally don’t get surprised by these things, but the fact that Trump and Epstein ran the same exact script on these kids, down to promises of admission to the same university, is eye-opening.

Same methods, same promises. All to get them to go into a room alone.

[-] aramis87@fedia.io 28 points 5 days ago

And it really makes you wonder about the people running the university / doing admissions for the university at the time as well. I wonder if they show up in the Epstein files ...

[-] mechoman444@lemmy.world 47 points 5 days ago

Ah. Very good. So they're going to immediately arrest him for severe sex crimes. Right? ... ... Right?

Holiday season coming up. Remember to let your traitorous family members know they willingly supported a felon rapist pedophile just to piss off half of their fellow Americans because they can't peel their dipshit eyes off of propaganda networks.

Never let them live this down. Or at least not for as long as we'll all be paying for their stupid fucking decisions.

I would be surprised if anyone was on the fence about Trump's sex crimes.

You either have people who realize that he looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and are willing to treat him like a duck...

...or you have people for whom no amount of evidence could ever convince them.

I read it as either 11 more, or more evidence for 11 that are already known about.

At least the victims haven't given up in the face of a game that is rigged against them.

[-] No1@aussie.zone 34 points 5 days ago

I am shocked. Absolutely shocked....

....that it's only 11.

How would we know? Republicans are currently helping Trump (illegally) keep the Epstein files secret and sealed.
