I wish "Katie Johnson" would now be inspired to speak out directly about Trump

What's known about her accusation is disgusting and heartbreaking. I have ZERO doubt she's telling the truth because her description of her rape sounds exactly how Trump would behave.

However, with the all the death threats she got in 2016, I totally understand why she won't. I was just upset that at times yesterday Epstein victims were almost exonerating Trump.

They can out anyone but Trump. And they stay alive.

Trump would love mud being slung at others, not at him.

But there definitely was a strategy happening yesterday. And, I don’t blame them. They have to be very careful how they navigate this and they must be strategic or it could cause lawsuits or even worse death. When those lawsuits happen, they can’t talk. All that then becomes part of a lawsuit. They don’t want that.
I was thinking yesterday, that maybe they are playing Trumps mob game.
Maybe this is their threat…”Do something, or a list is being published.” Just a thought. But, I feel
They have a plan. I hope I am right.

If they think Trump will do something in their favor without a quid pro quo, they are foolish.
And putting themselves in grave danger.

If they call out his name in public, individually. There would be law suits as well as possible intimidation, threats, and other repercussions (mob boss behaviors). They have to be quite careful how they go about it. Sorry if my post was confusing. My apologies.

What about the statute of limitations? These crimes happened quite a while ago?

Katie Johnson, right? The survivors and their attorney wouldnt answer the question. I still say the woman that said Epstein bragged about his friendship with TSF has the goods on TSF.

Numerous journalists, advocates and political operatives had attempted to get, or had been promised, in-person access to Johnson. These promises never panned out. Steve Baer, a conservative mega-donor whose extensive email contacts helped to push the claims, for example, told Jezebel that he never met the accuser in person, despite many attempts.

Only one outlet, the now defunct millennial-targeting site Revelist, scored any sort of interview with the accuser. In July 2016, after first being promised an in-person meeting by Meagher, Revelist's Emily Shugerman had to settle for a conference call that left her questioning whether Johnson really existed. "I don't know if the Katie Johnson I spoke to is the same girl who Trump allegedly raped in 1994, or if that girl even exists," she wrote.

To that end, a large factor inhibiting large-scale coverage of the Johnson claims was that journalists figured out that a former "Jerry Springer" producer with a history of trolling the media had been a key player in promoting them from their inception and played a role in crafting the initial California filing.

Julie K. Brown, the journalist who uncovered the federal government's plea deal with Epstein in 2008, pushed back on the notion that journalists had ignored the Johnson claims, writing on X that, "The woman just wouldn't talk, and her lawyer would not confirm she was even legit. … The address she gave on her first lawsuit was false. She was linked to political operatives at one point."
