Abused Her

Original Article

Newly unsealed files from the Department of Justice have thrust several high-profile figures back into the spotlight of Jeffrey Epstein’s sordid world. A redacted FBI intake form from July 2019 details harrowing accusations from a woman who says she was repeatedly abducted, drugged, and sexually assaulted in settings tied to the convicted sex offender. Among those named in her account: rapper Jay-Z (Shawn Carter), disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, billionaire financier Leon Black, and former Attorney General William Barr. (snip). The victim described being snatched from her home in 1996 by an unknown person, only to wake up in what she believed was Epstein’s Florida mansion.

Is it true Epstein's stint in a private high school was with Barr's father as headmaster? Does not mean Barr is a pedophile, might mean he saw Epstein as a family friend and was oblivious.

This has a stench of fantasy. Is there any actual evidence for this story? It reminds me of the fantastic stories of child abuse and 'killing ponies' which was invented by a few kids, IIRC, in the LA area at a child care center. May well be real, but I would like to see so MN e physical evidence to support this.

Bill Barr? Really? At one time, some of us liked him, then didn't like him for anti-Trump treachery, and now this Pedophile Island stuff. What are we to believe, other than that mankind is sinful, and is in need of redemption? If the Old Testament law were fairly applied to humanity, there would be damn few people in heaven. None, in fact.

The potential for "bandwagon fraud" is pretty high here. Many rich and influential people knew Epstein. I'll wait.

Poster #3 is right. This reminds me of the hallucinations of daycare children in the '80's. Epstein was a creep, and up to no good, but simple reporting of this malarkey from an unnamed witness is unfair to those named. I truly doubt Bill Barr, whatever his complicity in covering up an Epstein suicide, was hanging around when rapes were committed. Maybe so, but I don't believe it and don't believe the account is credible.

Throws light on the Bill Barr fraud where he went to investigate the Epstein suicide personally -- for half a day, then came back and told us it was a suicide, nothing further to investigate. Bill Barr has very impressive investigative skills.

What is not a hallucination is this hard cold fact, "Black, the Apollo Global Management co-founder, settled a lawsuit in 2023 accusing him of rape, paying $62.5 million without admitting liability". That is insane but they left out the 2nd part of it. In 2023, Black agreed to pay $62.5 million to the U.S. Virgin Islands government. This was a settlement to resolve and release him from any current or future legal claims related to the territory's investigation into Epstein's sex-trafficking activities (Epstein owned property there). The agreement was reached in January 2023 but became public in July 2023. My question is what did the Virgin Islands do with the money? Did it help the victims? Zero of the money went to any victims it went all the the government. That does not sound shady at all, eh?

I have no trouble believing any part of this story. I remember when Ted Kennedy’s nephew raped that girl. Every male in the bar in which I worked expressed skepticism, including one old guy who insisted that it was physically impossible to rape a woman because he had once tried. I was appalled then, and I am appalled now.

Major Federal Appeals Court Ruling Permits
ICE to Detain Illegal Aliens During Deportation

Posted by earlybird 2/7/2026 1:02:28 PM Post Reply
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals has made a massive ruling in favor of President Trump and the ICE removal process [pdf Ruling Here]. In short, throughout the nation 360 immigration judges had previously ruled that illegal aliens (applicants for admission) should be granted bond and released during the removal proceedings. The Fifth CCA has now ruled the aliens can be detained as they go through the removal process. This means ICE captures the illegal, holds them in detention and then rapidly deports them. The ruling, which will likely be appealed to the supreme court, fast-tracks the removal.

Some critics of the Trump Administration’s enforcement of federal immigration law, including members of the public, the media, and Congress, have made misleading claims about the due process rights that apply in immigration proceedings. Those who claim that non-citizens, referred to in our nation’s immigration laws as aliens, are entitled to the full panoply of constitutional rights enjoyed by American citizens are simply wrong .(snipIn fact, several federal immigration statutes specifically bar aliens from even asserting certain claims in federal courts. Federal courts assuming jurisdiction over such claims by aliens are violating federal law, and any orders they issue ought to be declared void (snip) by an appellate court.

Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing? As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity. “Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top congressional aide told The Federalist on Thursday afternoon, as the battle over the SAVE Act ground down to trench warfare.
