We choose Earth.
There are many outstanding questions about President Trump’s longtime close friendship with the sex trafficking pedophile Epstein and a possible Russia angle, and the American people deserve answers.
Even with all the attention on this, Trump’s DOJ is STILL not releasing to the public a number of docs related to this accuser: agents’ handwritten notes from the interviews, license records, and a law enforcement report. They never investigated “Suspicious Activity Reports.”
The Trump administration did not provide Jane Doe 4’s interviews willingly. It was thanks to clever reporting from Roger Sollenberger that the world figured out the MAGA DOJ was hiding claims about Trump, and only under enormous pressure, the DOJ released SOME of the missing information.
Jane Doe 4 told the FBI she was nearly run off the road and said that strange men would call and harass her. Other Epstein accusers have described similar stories of threats and intimidation, including having their cars chased off the road:
There are other little things. We know Epstein was a pianist and gave money to causes related to classical music. Jane Doe 4 remembered that he liked classical music. Jane Doe 4 seemed to remember that Epstein had a brother. Epstein did have a brother.
The big accusations are impossible to corroborate without talking to other people but many of the details do check out. Post and Courier did some great shoe leather reporting on this:
The FBI spoke with the Trump accuser 4 times, and asked for more. The FBI doesn’t do that when they think someone isn’t telling the truth.
And indeed, according to Julie Brown’s reporting, an FBI source said agents found the accuser to be credible.

We know thanks to Post and Courier that Jane Doe 4 received a settlement directly from Epstein’s estate. Someone there thought she was credible.
It’s worth reviewing Jane Doe 4’s allegations about being sexually and physically assaulted by Trump as a minor after being trafficked by Epstein:
Bloom’s firm represented Jane Doe 4, the woman who accused both Trump and Epstein of assaulting her when she was underage, as well as another Trump accuser in 2016.
Lisa Bloom, who likely knows as much as anyone about the credibility of the accusations against Trump, says “the man who is mentioned probably more than anyone else in the Epstein files should be subpoenaed to testify: Donald Trump.”
We have a President who is petrified of the truth getting out about his long friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Many questions remain.
🧵
Countdown: Today’s the day!
Let’s see what the corrupt and misbehaving MAGA DOJ has to say under oath about its “fraud on the court.”
Who will sign the pleadings?
What will they say?
Will the investigation continue?
We’ll keep watch.
Rhode Islanders know the therapeutic feeling of being out on the water. Great to see Gnome Surf Therapy helping more people experience that for themselves. Bravo!
What is the taste of Senate Republicans for another Bove-style cover-up to ram a MAGA nominee through committee while a federal court investigation is pending, without awaiting its results? Time will tell, but the Bove precedent is an ominous one.
The Blanche “fraud on the court” complaint arose out of what I call the Trump “cop-beaters slush fund,” which even Republicans hate (or are afraid of), so the “fraud on the court” investigation could exhume buried bodies of that rotten scheme.
“Fraud on the court” is deadly serious, and can lead to sanctions in the case, referrals to the bar for attorney misconduct, and referral even for criminal investigation of possible fraud, perjury and obstruction.
Where Bove had a pending contempt of court investigation, Blanche has a pending “fraud on the court” investigation. In both cases, federal judges saw evident misbehavior and began the process of investigation.
