10. Probably because it's not a criminal case but a civil one
Tue Nov 1, 2016, 03:06 PM
Nov 2016

Where the plaintiff has chosen to remain anonymous and not come forward publicly. That means no main stream media outlet has been able to interview the victim or witness to corroborate the story. Since they can't do that they can't talk about it unless they want to be sued for libel and lose. You can't throw this kind of accusation around without being able to corroborate that you did due diligence to investigate and interviewed the victim, which cannot be done in this case.

M$M is silent on Trump. For Trump's corrupt, pro-Russian, sexual predator cases... BlueCaliDem Nov 2016 #1
The Clinton campaign is silent on it as well. EL34x4 Nov 2016 #5

It can be done, but you have to write a check to a guy who sometimes pretends to be the victim jberryhill Nov 2016 #22
Exactly NoGoodNamesLeft Nov 2016 #26
Only on the child-rape case, which is filed as a civil case, not as a criminal case. It's the M$M's BlueCaliDem Nov 2016 #11
Perhaps the Clinton campaign, and the media have dug deeper into this thing than blog posters jberryhill Nov 2016 #21
I did see the copy of a letter NoGoodNamesLeft Nov 2016 #28

Unless the victim or witness comes forward PUBLICLY and identifies themself NoGoodNamesLeft Nov 2016 #12
The media doesn't seem to care much about due diligence when it comes to Clinton. Garrett78 Nov 2016 #14
I believe they've done more than you might realize jberryhill Nov 2016 #27

Here's a piece from Raw Story today. pnwmom Nov 2016 #7
This one has a pre-trial date of December 16, 2016, and it looks like it's getting serious. BlueCaliDem Nov 2016 #13
But that date will be cancelled if they don't serve Trump with the papers. pnwmom Nov 2016 #15
That may be why the Clinton Campaign hasn't spoken about this case yet. All Trump has to do is dodge BlueCaliDem Nov 2016 #16
His place of residence is well known jberryhill Nov 2016 #20
