II recalled receiving several "hang-ups" and a lot of brief telephone messages that included words to the effect, "we know where you're at, you need to keep your mouth shut." The people who called knew mother was in a specific assisted living facility. II initially stated the individuals "possibly" called her mother; but when asked how she knew they were aware of her mother's residence in a particular assisted living facility, II stated they called her mother there. The call(s) to her mother included rude language about her mother's age and health. When asked what made II think the calls were related to EPSTEIN/his associates, II responded that she did not think the callers ever said they were calling on behalf of EPSTEIN or TRUMP. II does not have any other

The interviewing agents asked II to provide additional details regarding her first interaction with DONALD TRUMP when she was approximately 13 to 15 years old, in either New York or New Jersey, and while also in the company of JEFFREY EPSTEIN. II clarified that when she previously said TRUMP struck her after she bit him on the penis, she provided further details that he, "pulled (her] hair and punched (her] on the side of (her] head." With respect to mother, (deceased), II recalled her mother spent approximately two years in federal prison in Columbia, South Carolina around the time II was 17 or 18 years old. mother's sentence was related to an embezzlement conviction connected to being blackmailed by JEFFREY EPSTEIN and JIM ATKINS over explicit photographs of II. II asked whether EPSTEIN had a sibling. The investigating Agents inquired as to what made her think he had a sibling. II replied she recalled there

Since the sexual assaults II suffered at the hands of EPSTEIN and his associates, II was threatened on numerous occasions by unidentified people she believed were connected to EPSTEIN. mother was also threatened on numerous occasions prior to her death. The first incident II could recall occurred in approximately III. when II was 16-17 years old. ■ was living in a suburb in South Carolina at the time. mother had been arrested for embezzlement, and could not pay the restitution. II called ATKINS at the University where he worked (unidentified) to ask him for help. She recalled she asked him why he "fixed" her mother's real estate books, only to later turn her mother in [to the police]. ATKINS responded to II by stating words to the effect that, he did not, "give a shit if you end up in the gutter. Don't ever contact me again. Your mother knows what will happen." II recalled threatening telephone calls primarily began to occur after II gave birth to her daughter in Several calls listed as "No ID" on her Caller ID system were made to telephone. The voicemail content primarily included only "noises"; however, during one call, a man (unidentified) stated, "Fuck you. You better keep your mouth closed." The man subsequently hung up. II was threatened, "sometimes every two years, then at random times." II never recognized the voices during the telephone calls, but she was certain the callers were not EPSTEIN, ATKINS, or TRUMP. The callers did not have heavy New York accents. She clarified that EPSTEIN did not have a heavy New York accent in general; however, he said certain words with an accent.

Prior to being asked any questions regarding the case, the agents asked whether they could audio record the interview. II advised she was not comfortable being recorded at that time. II requested agents explain to her the goal and parameters of the fourth interview. She indicated she was aware that because she was victimized several years prior, the statutes of limitation of any viable federal violation may have run. She asked agents, "what's the point?" The agents explained that all victims of crime should have the opportunity to tell their story; they wanted to provide her with that opportunity should she choose to accept. The agents also explained why they wished to keep the fourth interview focused on abuse • endured at the hands of individuals associated with JEFFREY EPSTEIN. II previously mentioned she had sexual contact with (current U.S. President) DONALD TRUMP while she was a minor. She previously explained the contact was facilitated through her association with EPSTEIN. • was asked whether she felt

comfortable detailing her contacts with TRUMP. ■ again asked what the point would be of providing the information at this point in her life when there was a strong possibility nothing could be done about it. The agents asked II to go home and take as much time as she needed to think about speaking with the agents further. ■ agreed and the interview ended.

Here's why I bring it up:

I learned this lesson early on, watching Dr. Anita Hill tell her story to a dozen skeptical men in Congress.

My SAer wasn’t even even famous, and hundreds of strangers on the internet called me a liar.

Every woman who has been sexually assaulted understands the impulse to just walk away because justice is a pipe dream and you don’t want to put yourself through a second, emotional assault when you tell your story.

Thanks!

Know about a story that’s being undercovered or not covered at all?

brianmcginnisnc Brian McGinnis' wife has NOT been allowed to see him in the hospital. He is currently awaiting surgery for severe injuries. Legal counsel has also been denied access. A Marine veteran. A firefighter. A father of four. And his family still cannot see him.

so apparently Brian McGinnis has been denied access to both his family and legal representation since a sitting senator broke his arm

Earlier this week, I stumbled across a documentary on the Barkley Marathon, which I vaguely knew about.

After watching it, I had a renewed sense of purpose and determination about how to fight Trump.

Tesla sued after Austin shooting suspect allegedly assaulted co-worker A 65-year-old woman says the automaker ignored warning signs before Ndiaga Diagne, the suspect in Sunday’s mass shooting, assaulted her. She sued Thursday.

the Austin mass shooter was a Tesla employee who assaulted a coworker during a company-allowed prayer break late last year

the company refused to give the victim her assailant's name so she could press charges, and he went on to become a mass shooter

Markwayne Mullin is awful and corrupt for many reasons.

Not having a college degree is not one of them.

I know plenty of people W/O degrees who have more moral backbone, smarts, common sense, and compassion than at least half of Congress. Mullin isn't one, but not bc he did not graduate college.

this is the clearest black and white picture of how the US is fucked. illegal unprovoked war at the height of financial, healthcare and employment crises by a rogue pedophile president and it has 3/4ths approval from the "opposition" party.

lol - thanks!

Thanks!
