Is this legit or bullshit?

.

[Alacritous Crier]

1. An Anonymous Twitter account (@YourAnonCentral)...

did drop a bunch of posts this morning, including some documents.

Whether they are legitimate or not I'm not sure but the account does appear to be.

10. They Have the Authentic Filing Marks of All Federally Filed Cases

federal courts have a uniform filing system

2. This is the so-called "Katie Johnson" (or Jane Doe) lawsuit. It is in fact a real

lawsuit. She withdrew her lawsuit as a result of nonstop death threats. She was represented by Lisa Bloom (I wish I could double check that, but it's my best recollection). It was not withdrawn because anyone proved the assertions in the lawsuit are untrue. As far as I know, "Katie Johnson" stands by her claims. Her attorney never doubted the allegations.

It is not new. It has been in circulation since 2016.

There is more about this story in Ronan Farrow's book Catch and Kill, and some good stories online too.

7. Thanks Mike! Just checking. I guess it's making the rounds again.

11. At the time this came up it was pointed out that someone who is anonymous can't get death threats

That was followed by silence. Also this is not 1960 anymore. "Non stop death threats" are a crime and they are really easy to trace in 2020 and were in 2016 when this first was around. I don't know that anything has changed since then.

18. Yes I downloaded this lawsuit a year or more ago

So I never forget and so my grandchildren will be able to read one day, who he really is.

3. Anonymous talks big. Never delivers.

[Squinch]

19. This.

[LakeArenal]

4. Oh gawd. Please no.

I don’t want to imagine him raping a child.

Unfortunately it’s probably true.

I don’t know tho.

[samnsara]

5. where the hell have they been for almost 4 years?

[Ms. Toad]

8. It was well-covered at the time.

[Ms. Toad]

6. Filing a claim is not proof.

The claim is also a civil claim - with a lower burden of proof than a criminal complaint.

This is old news. It was reported on at the time. The claim was dismissed for technical reasons.

Here's more information.

(BTW - I find it enitrely credible that he raped children. BUT to the extent that Anonymous is hyping a long-dismissed civil lawsuit as new, or proof, it is not helpful.)

[Shrike47]

13. Well said.

[GoCubsGo]

9. Don't know if it's true, but I would not be at all surprised if it is true.

Been saying all along that the kompromat Putin is holding over him involves sex trafficking. As Noel Casler and others have pointed out, he bought those two beauty pageants so he could have access to girls and young women. He has two dozen rape and sexual assault claims against him, several pending in court. The Anonymous claims could be fakes, and if they are, it doesn't negate the real ones.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

12. It wouldn't surprise me at all if it's real.

I assume that we've all seen the WEIRD pics of him with Ivanka when she was a minor.

Then the teen beauty pageant when he popped into the dressing room and made the girls uncomfortable.

Then the weird comment he made to a young girl in public, caught on tape, about how he might marry her someday. (I don't even feel like looking for it now, but I think the girl was a pre-teen?)

He's a sick dude who should've been locked up long ago, but money has amazing powers in our "justice" system.

15. I Agree And Think This Is The Smoke

It also brings to mind the response to Eric when he viciously slandered JB.

[Shrike47]

14. Alas, a civil complaint does not prove anything.

[gibraltar72]

16. Maybe we can find out what happened to Maria.

That is what they told Jane Doe. It would be to bad if the same thing happened to you that happened to Maria.

[ElementaryPenguin]

17. That is true. The suite was crushed right before the election.

I believe the girl was 14 and named Trump and Jeffrey Epstein years ago.

I'm certain Trump had Epstein "silenced" through Bill Barr.
