    No reasonable person is enthusiastic to go public with rape allegations against Trump, go on TV and talk about them, etc. and get MAGA death threats for the rest of their life and go down in history for it. I would not consider remaining private as credibility points either way. That’s like saying someone is guilty because they plead the 5th.

      The privacy part doesn’t bother me. it’s the Jerry Springer producer involvement. His whole job was to make up stories for the show. I’m not saying he is or isn’t lying but because he is such an untrustworthy person, the chance for doubt becomes significantly higher.

        Are you talking about Katie Johnson? The article links to legal documents detailing her complaint to the FBI.

        Is there anything more you can do to falsify that report than casually mention some Jerry Springer producer?

          The article in the link also says that no one knew about Epstein when Katie Johnson made her complaint in 2016 but that is false.

          The article also neglects to mention how much Jerry Springer producer was involved in.

          What We Know About Origins of Trump Child Rape Allegations

          Please note, I am not defending Trump or arguing over any of the other accusers.

          My issue is just that a lot of people keep using Katie Johnson’s testimony as an open and shut case, ignoring all the problems with that accusation to back up their own wish for Trump to be a pedophile.
