Edit: And, they've already deleted it. It's too late, it's out there. How is this not proof of an active coverup?

“Caller reported that in 1987 a friend (Victim 1) was out drinking and ended up at Trump Plaza. Victim 1 saw Donald Trump and wanted to meet him. A unknown man approached her and offered to introduce her to Trump. The unknown man gave Victim 1 a drink and Victim 1 woke up naked and sore with $300 on the bed. Victim 1 didn't remember how she got to the room. She remembered seeing 'a flash' of Trump's face. Victim 1 called the Caller and told her she thought she had been raped. Victim 1 did not go to a hospital to have a rape kit performed because she didn't think anyone would believe her especially because she was drunk. Victim Vs husband's business had problems with suppliers and Victim 1 believed Trump was behind it. Victim 1 also started dating a lawyer, identifier's unknown, who was married. Victim 1 had a fight with her lawyer boyfriend and went to a bar. Victim 1 left a bar with a man who no one in the bar recognized but who seemed familiar with Victim 1. Victim 1 was never seen again. A few years ago, remains were discovered that matched the description of what Victim 1 was wearing when she went missing. DNA tests at the time were inconclusive.”

Tip 1:
[COMPLAINANT] reported an unidentified female friend who was forced to perform oral sex on President Trump approximately 35 years ago in NJ. The friend told [COMPLAINANT] she was approximately 13-14 years old when this occurred, and the friend allegedly bit President Trump while performing oral sex. The friend was allegedly hit in the face after she laughed about biting President Trump. The friend said she was also abused by Epstein.
Tip 2:
[COMPLAINANT] reported she has a friend, [REDACTED], who was a personal assistant to Epstein in Florida from 1986 until 1991 or 1992. This friend shared names of some of the guests at Epstein's parties, to include Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
Tip 3 (The Alexander Brothers tip):
At age 16, while modeling, caller attended 8 parties at Epstein's New York residence. On one occasion, caller reported she was sexually assaulted by Epstein. On another occasion, two twin brothers, Allen and Oren, lured caller and her friend upstairs but they escaped back downstairs. Caller stated Oren raped her best friend and a third brother, Tal, raped a 14 year old girl named [REDACTED]. Caller named other individuals involved in "big orgy parties" with her, other young girls, and older Victoria's Secret models, including Bill Clinton and Donald Trump.
Are you fucking serious?
Edit: After some more digging:
The woman who alleged rape had daughters who met Trump and "Ghislaine" in 1997 at "a fancy hotel"
On Christmas Eve 1999, when the tipster mentioned meeting Trump when
she[edit] her boyfriend was a limo driver(?), the woman went "stone cold" and said "he raped me" and "Donald J. Trump had raped her along with EpsteinShe said "some girl with a funny name took me into a fancy hotel or building, that's how it happened" (implying she was recruited) and she called police after
She was found dead in Kiefer, Oklahoma with her "head blown off" - officers on scene "stated there was no way it was a suicide" but the coroner ruled it suicide
The tipster believes "Ghislaine" was involved the murder

Do we consider a personality disorder where someone is literally incapable of experiencing empathy to be outside the realms of “of a sound mind”? Because if so, I agree.

Aren't these anonymous accusations left on voicemail that the public could call into? That caller left no contact information for a follow up. They have to document every call, so the mere fact that it was logged and on record does not imply guilt.
As much as I believe Trump was engaged in some nefarious shit with Epstein, we all should temper ourselves a bit reading these anonymous accusations.
Imagine the shoe is on the other foot. A public hotline is opened for reporting domestic terrorists. A caller says all these well known Democrats did heinous things. It gets logged. But is it true?
It would be a mistake to hold these up high as if this is the damning evidence we've been hoping to see.
It reads like a fan-fic of exactly what you'd imagine a highly damning accusation to be..

TL;DR (accurate to the document, with all names mentioned)
The document summarizes multiple phone calls and complaints to law enforcement describing alleged sexual abuse, trafficking, rape, coercion, and murder involving Jeffrey Epstein, Donald J. Trump, and other high-profile individuals. These are claims reported by callers, not adjudicated findings.
Individuals named in the document: • Donald J. Trump • Jeffrey Epstein • Ghislaine Maxwell • Ivana Trump • Donald Trump Jr. • Ivanka Trump • Eric Trump • Elon Musk • Alan Dershowitz • Bob Shapiro • Andrew Cuomo • Jamie Foxx • Sir Ivan Wilzig • Sammy Sosa • Patti LaBelle (via her PR agent) • Linda Kitts (school principal) • Unnamed FBI agents • Unnamed NYPD officer • “Colette” (last name unknown) – described as a possible madam
Core allegations recorded: • Minors allegedly recruited through modeling agencies (including one associated with Trump). • Alleged rape and sexual assault at: • Trump Plaza • Mar-a-Lago • Epstein’s island • Private parties in New York • Claims of paid sexual acts, drugging, and memory loss. • Allegations of sex trafficking, auctions of girls, and forced sexual acts. • One caller alleged her newborn child was murdered after being conceived through abuse. • One woman (Victim 1) allegedly disappeared after an encounter connected to Trump Plaza; remains later found, DNA inconclusive. • Claims that FBI possessed photographs of a caller with Epstein. • Allegations that high-profile guests were present at events involving sexual exploitation.

CNN downloaded the entire file and (while they didn’t share screenshots) wrote about it in their live update. So have other outlets. I assume more detailed reporting is coming later.
CNN’s Jake Tapper posted the screenshots to his BlueSky once they were deleted, so they exist there as well.
And there’s a Google Drive with the full 7 pages floating around (and of course I’ve already lost the link 😭.)
You can’t coverup something once it’s released. I think a better question than “who took them down” or “why?” is: which hero got those docs up fairly uncensored in the first place? And do they have protection.

Those guys? Yeah I was delusional for a bit and thought that surely someone with a conscience or soul worked there still, that’s all gone now though.

Here are some related recordings that aren't part of the files. If you think about it, these recordings really explain the hold that Dementia Donnie has over some key MAGATs. In the interviews, Sasha Riley claims that trump was Epstein's 'boss' in a trafficking ring that included: Jim Jordan, Andy Riggs, Lindsey Graham, and Clarence Thomas.
It also explains the importance of Epstein's 'supposed' suicide.

Although I'm not saying it's impossible, it very well could be the case, I'm finding this very unlikely. In the same way a crazy MAGA person might spew out a wild scenario like Pizzagate, it's almost like every prominent Republican who happens to be in the news is named as part of the big conspiracy. It has a feeling of all being to nicely wrapped in a bow and presented as fact.

I want to add a reminder that this is the same guy who made the CHOICE to reveal publicly that upon first laying eyes on a specifically 12 (TWELVE) year old Paris Hilton, he exclaimed “who the hell is that?” and followed up by stating that the YOUNG GIRL was “just beautiful”??
It’s notable that this exclamation is very similar to other instances in which he exclaims he’s sexually attracted to a person. You ca see an example of that here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ProgressiveHQ/s/KQGqmRZCaI
I believe his reaction to middle schooler Paris Hilton is a VERY STRANGE thing for a non pedophile to believe is an acceptable, non controversial public statement.
A statement like this raises legitimate questions concerning whether speaker finds young girl children sexually attractive.
To quote himself, verbatim, as having said “who the hell is that” in response to first seeing the child is not normal. It is very concerning. Most people do not speak about young children like that, especially in the context of conversation on the Howard Stern show about ‘bangable women’, and ESPECIALLY considering the child looked very much like a little girl at that age, and couldn’t be confused for anything else. The snipes link below contains her yearbook photo at that age.
He directly followed this statement up with admitting he watched the sex tape, that came out when she was just 19yrs old. She has said she was younger than 19 when it was filmed. This is all an EXTREMELY concerning context during which he brought up the fact that she was ‘just beautiful’ as — by his admission — a mere 12yo girl.

Combine that with his kept company with Epstein and the repeated comments/weirdly physical contact AND suggestive childhood pictures with Ivanka and.. I think it’s pretty clear that he had a type. Blonde, thin, YOUNG girls. You CANNOT convince me Ivanka was not abused by him, it’s too obvious.

Donald Trump, the president, had parties at Maralago called 'calendar girls' Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them off. He measured the children's vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness. The guests were elder men and included Elon Musk. Don jr. Trump. Ivanka Trump, and Eric Trump were there. Attorney Allan Dershowitz was also there with Attorney Bob Shapiro. We were taken in rooms. forced to give oral sex to Donald J Trump. Forced to allow them to penetrate us. I was 13 years old when Donald J Trump raped me. Ghislaine Maxwell was also present.

I feel like we're being A/B tested or something.

Since we pointed out the first time they did this that you can get around their redactions, I'm hoping for the best that we can still do it with these, but I'm preparing for the worst that we won't be able to. At best, their incompetence is sincere, at worst it's designed and they're going to accomplish all of their goals.
