For a chubby guy, Trump runs a lot. And right now that means Jane Doe 4, running, and hiding from the evidence in the Epstein Files that includes accusations of sexually abusing a 13-year-old child. If innocent, why not hand America those files? After all, he who has nothing to hide, hides nothing. And yet those 37 pages are still missing.So unless Todd Blanche hands us a stack of documents with a big red bow tonight at 11:59pm, he will have, yet again, violated the Epstein Files Transparency Act and defied Katie Phang’s lawsuit. While I’m an optimistic person by nature, I’m hanging on by a thread here, guys.You can read more about the powerful story of Jane Doe 4 and her missing files here:Thank you Lev Parnas, Caro Henry, LeftieProf, Richard Hogan, MD, PhD(2), DBA, Courtney, and many others for tuning into my live video with THE LEFT HOOK with Wajahat Ali!

Thanks everyone for joining in as we continue to read through Virginia Giuffre’s deposition from her 2016 defamation civil suit against Ghislaine Maxwell. If you would like to read the whole transcript, you can do that here.A couple of things were mentioned in this section of the deposition, namely Virginia’s parents, who sent her to live with an aunt and uncle in California when she was 11 years old. Virginia doesn’t go into detail here, but the relationship she had with her father, and the story of his friend “Forest Jones,” is very dark, and foreshadows the abuse she would suffer at the hands of Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein. If you would like to read that story, which includes triggers for sexual abuse, you can click the link below.Virginia also mentioned the first time she was sex-trafficked to a man named Ron Eppinger. He a notorious operator of a South Florida international prostitution ring in the late 1990s, which brought in girls from Eastern Europe with the promise of modeling jobs (sound familiar?). In 2001 he pled guilty to smuggling immigrations into the U.S. for prostitution, money laundering, and other prostitution offenses. He was sentenced to 21 months in jail, was released, and died in 2006. You can read his court case here.Today’s Donation Opportunity is the Missoula YWCA, which “provides life-saving services to survivors of domestic and sexual violence, stalking and human trafficking. The Pathways program includes a 24-hour crisis hotline and response, pet-friendly emergency shelter for adults and children fleeing abusive situations, transitional housing, support groups, mental health counseling and legal support.”If you would like to donate to the Missoula YWCA, please click the link below:Thank you Nick Paro, Amy Gabrielle, Cat: Poli-Psych, Caro Henry, It’s Time 🇺🇦, and many others for tuning into my live video with Blue Amp Media!

I had to do a brain dump, because the man who has been threatening me online involved my daughter tonight. I’m reporting him to the full extent of the law, but I also want you to know what the last few weeks have been like for me and for my family. I’ve blocked him everywhere, but he sees everything I say and do, and will inevitably see this too. So thank you for everyone who has stood up for me, it means a lot.

Thanks everyone for joining me as we continue to read from the Epstein Files. As Liz Oyer announced on her Substack and YouTube, Todd Blanche was quietly given the “tremendous power” to punish political enemies and reward friends, giving prisoners the option to “buy up” in the federal prison system. We likely saw this with Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer to Bryan Prison Camp in Texas last August, following her proffer with Blanche.Because Maxwell is likely running the show, and will either be offered a pardon by the Trump Administration, or the opportunity to turn state’s witness if the House and Senate flip in the midterms, I want to focus in on her crimes and make it abundantly clear: Ghislaine Maxwell is a child sex trafficker and abuser.I will continue to read Virginia’s testimony from the 2016 civil case against Maxwell, which lays out the crimes against her and other victims of the Epstein.If you would like to read Virginia’s full deposition, you can do that here.Today’s opportunity to help is the Sexual Violence Center in Minneapolis, MN.
