Donald Trump will prove to be guilty of everything he is accused of; starting with the rape of children and ending with their murder and burial.

Why is it whom you always suspect?

When you look at the connections between Epstein and Putin and how he used the "wonderful secrets" of the UK politicians to get classified intel for Putin it is pretty clear his predatory nature of sexually assaulting women would be used to get blackmail material on him.

There is no doubt in my mind that the "p tapes" are in fact dotard raping children.

Anyone that would boast publicly that he walks into a child's dressing room at a pageant and "inspects" the girls, brags about sexual assault and fantasizes about dating his own daughter clearly has the capacity to do a lot worse.

Worse yet the DOJ is an accomplice to these rapes, tortures and killings by covering them up under the umbrella of if they prosecute all the rapists the entire political system would collapse.

I say any political system that would allow this to happen and then actively cover it up is corrupt to it's very core and deserves to collapse.

Every single week it's a news story of another right wing person getting caught with child porn or abusing children.

With them every accusation is a confession.

They all deserve to burn.

"Some files have not been made public despite a law mandating their release. These include what appears to be more than 50 pages of FBI interviews, and notes from conversations with a woman who accused Trump of sexual abuse decades ago when she was a minor."

Former Beauty Queen: Contestants Were Forced To Greet Trump Even When Not Fully Dressed (2016)
www.cbsnews.com

... As Miss Arizona, Tasha Dixon, then 18, competed in the Miss USA pageant, which was owned by Donald Trump for 19 years, along with the Miss Universe and Miss Teen USA pageants.

"Our first introduction to him was when we were at the dress rehearsal and half naked changing into our bikinis," Dixon recalled. "He just came strolling right in. There was no second to put a robe on or any sort of clothing or anything. Some girls were topless. Other girls were naked." ...

then to have the pressure of the people that worked for him telling us to go fawn all over him, go walk up to him, talk to him, get his attention."

Dixon's account is seemingly supported by the Republican presidential nominee himself in a 2005 broadcast on the "The Howard Stern Show." That audio recording was re-released last weekend.

Here is a sample of what was said on the show on April 11, 2005:

Trump: "I'll go backstage before a show and everyone's getting dressed and ready and everything else. And you know, no men are anywhere. And I'm allowed to go in because I'm the owner of the pageant. And therefore, I'm inspecting it. You know I'm inspecting it. I want to make sure everything is good."

Stern: "You're like a doctor."

Trump: "Is everyone OK? You know they're standing there with no clothes. Is everybody OK? And you see these incredible looking women. And so I sort of get away with things like that."

...

So all these pages that are missing and no one has seen according to NPR all have incriminating evidence against Trump according to NPR who haven't seen them. Makes sense, to a liberal.

Trans women use stalls, like all the other women in a women's rest room.

Anyone using "trans" as a smokescreen to prey on women didn't need the "trans" part to begin with.

Which one of those people did you vote for? And did the trans men (?) arguably have a reason for being in that locker room other than staring at naked underage girls?

And this is about Trump sexually abusing children. Far more than walking into a dressing room. But you voted for the guy who admitted to raping a woman in a dressing room (when he refused to testify at his own trials, which Trump said only guilty people do), so supporting a pedo is probably not much of a leap for you.

"Always interesting"? Is that right?

Is it also interesting that, even with the Epstein files redacted and suppressed in violation of law, we still find enough in them to implicate Trump in rape and murder?

I congratulate you for showing up today, though. Most of your friends are laying low, correctly surmising that Donald's State of the Union tonight will be a Sh-- Show.

Dummkopf Trumpf is a clean freak, like Jeffrey Epstein was, so this theory is sound.

Christopher Steele collected raw intelligence about Dummkopf Trumpf from his Russian sources, which means there could have been a translation problem, hearsay, speculation, or use of slang from an informant.

Nothing yet has been disproven from the Steele Dossier and raw intelligence must be fine-tuned.

As a single operative, Steele didn't have wiretaps, IMINT, or collateral information to create a polished all-source intelligence product. He was a private investigator using his old contacts from his days as an MI6 officer.

I was tasked with conducting a surveillance overseas many years ago. The information and photography I transmitted was raw and later fine-tuned at DIA HQ by an analyst for her USIC product.

He admitted to raping her? Jean Carroll herself admitted he didn't rape her you idiot. And you voted for the guy whose daughter said he took "inappropriate" showers with her. That's more than pedo --- right there.
And back on topic, as I've said over and over, Biden had control of the files for 4 years, you know they combed over them with a microscope trying to find crap on Trump, they couldn't so they resorted to try and bankrupt, jail and kill him.

Good question, let's ask Merrick Garland. Most likely more incriminating evidence that Epstein was involved with the Clinton foundation.

"with the Clinton foundation."

What a riot.

Foundations are, by their nature, very transparent.

When HRC was about to run for President, she'd been investigated for decades, especially via the Foundation.

And after going through the CF with a fine-toothed comb, Republicans decided to attack her on Benghazi, for not sending in troops to save Americans...despite the fact as Secretary of State, she's nowhere in the military chain of command.

If dems wanted to lock up trump he'd have been locked up for the 11 counts if criminal obstruction from the mueller investigation.

Biden and Garland stupidly chose to let trump off the hook as an olive branch to make his fascist cult come back to sanity, and it failed.

Yes, when he refused to testify at his trials by pleading the fifth, which Trump said only guilty people do.

Jean Carroll herself admitted he didn't rape her you idiot.

Let's check with the judge:

Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll even though he was found liable only for 'sexual abuse,' judge rules
www.businessinsider.com

And Trump, by his own arguments, admitted to it when he refused to testify in his own defense.

You have any kids or grandkids you want to offer up to Dear Leader Trump to "not-rape" in a dressing room?
