OP
They're also ignoring Sheldon Whitehouse, who entered evidence on the Senate floor.

STFU about the files.

..who bit Krasnov on his little mushroom cock, when he forced her to blow him. The media felate him willingly..

(24,050 posts)9. This is an explosive story.
So it was corroborated by a phone in tip. Then the FBI interviewed the victim 3 or 4 times. So they thought it was credible enough to keep interviewing her.
And the timing is insane! FBI began interviewing her in the Summer of 2019, they submitted the first 302 up the chain on August 9th, Epstein committed suicide on August 10th. Coincidences take a lot of planning.

The 2016 article provides this link to the document you are suggesting is newly available and the media should be discussing
I haven't reviewed all the documents in the new release - but so far all of the ones posted here as new outages haven't contained new information.
It is newsworthy that the DOJ is scrambling to release more files, as previously ordered to, in the wake of Bondi being subpoenaed. The additional releases certainly prove the recent media allegations that the DOJ was withholding documents, and withholding documents to protect perpetrators. But so far, they support the excuse provided for withhold them - that they are duplicative. That isn't a valid excuse. The bill did not allow them to decide something is duplicative and hold it back. That's the story the media should be discussing.
(And there may be new stuff in there - but the stuff posted here, so far, hasn't been new.)
The first suit over the alleged rapes was filed in federal court in Riverside, California, in April by someone acting without an attorney and using the name Katie Johnson. That suit named both Trump and Epstein as defendants, alleging that the two men held Johnson as a sex slave and repeatedly forced her to engage in sexual acts against her will.
Subsequent news reports raised doubts about who filed the suit. Johnson claimed she had just $300 in assets and that she was living at a home in Twentynine Palms, California, but Radar Online reported neighbors said the home had been foreclosed upon and vacant since its owner died last year.
U.S. District Court Judge Dolly Gee dismissed that case in May, ruling that Johnsons complaint didnt raise valid claims under federal law. Gee, an appointee of President Barack Obama, noted that the suit cited a criminal statute that doesnt give rise to civil damages and that the civil statute Johnson cited only applies to actions based on race-based or class-based animus.
Another version of the suit was filed in federal court in June, but withdrawn in September after apparently never being served on the defendants.
The case was refiled later that month.
