BREAKING: Donald Trump Hit With NEW Lawsuit Accusing Him Of Raping 13yr Old Girl

A new lawsuit filed against Donald Trump in New York Federal Court on Monday alleges that the presumptive Republican nominee raped an underage girl in 1994, according to The Real Deal.
...
The woman who filed the suit is identified as “Jane Doe.” She alleges that she met Trump at several different parties in the Upper East Side of New York City. The parties were thrown by billionaire investor Jeffrey Epstein, several of which occurred during the 90s.
...
Testimony attached to the complaint from a “Tiffany Doe,” alleges that she was hired by Epstein to recruit young girls for his parties. Epstein apparently met the plaintiff at the Port Authority Bus Terminal and told her the parties would serve as a place to network and help her launch her career.
...
Epstein was previously convicted in a prostitution scandal involving minors and is currently registered as a sex offender after pleading guilty to soliciting an underage prostitute in 2008.

Above quotes are all from the story.

He's got more clients that travel on his Lolita Express. They better be careful when opening this box, they may get more names that they don't want to see.

Remember a couple of weeks ago when the "Bill Clinton was riding on Epstein Air" shit was floating around the blogo-sphere......And now all of sudden we get this coming out about Trump.......I hate to tin foil hat this, but it seems like the Bill stuff was thrown out there to shield this more heinous Trump stuff that would be coming around.........

The Donald Trump Story You’re Not Hearing About
Where is pack journalism now that we need it?
By Todd Gitlin | June 21, 2016

......

I doubt it. But various reporters I’ve spoken with offer different explanations for the relative paucity of serious Trump investigations. Wayne Barrett thinks editors downplay Mafia stories because they think the subject is worn out: “The mob is so depleted,” he said. “Editors think it doesn’t feel real anymore. It feels historical.” Still, tabloids know that front pages mentioning mobsters sell papers. Another theory is that journalists are overwhelmed by the sheer profusion of Trump material. One major network news figure told me as much. A reporter with another major news organization said, “In one 24-hour news cycle there can be three different Trump story lines going. That sucks all the oxygen out of the room. It’s ADD on our part.” He added that TV stories needs pictures. But pictures of Trump with his erstwhile collaborators are not hard to come by, and surely there are more than enough news cycles left in the months to come. Indeed, this reporter tells me, “We have some things in the works.”

Reporters have collected dots, but it remains to connect them. As Walter Lippmann wrote, the mission of journalism is “to bring to light the hidden facts, to set them in relation with each other, and make a picture of reality on which men can act.”
