Quote:Woman accusing Trump of raping her at 13 cancels her plan to go public
Rory Carroll in Los Angeles
Thursday 3 November 2016
The woman known as Jane Doe pulled out of a Los Angeles press conference where she was expected to reveal her identity, citing death threats
A woman who is suing Donald Trump for allegedly raping her as a child abandoned a plan to speak publicly on Wednesday, citing death threats. The woman, known by the pseudonym Jane Doe, hid from media who were invited to her lawyer’s Los Angeles office for a press conference in which she was expected to reveal her identity. Instead, her attorney, Lisa Bloom, cancelled the event in a brief, apologetic statement to a phalanx of cameras. “Jane Doe has received numerous threats today as have all the Trump accusers that I have represented. She has decided she is too afraid to show her face. She has been here all day, ready to do it, but unfortunately she is in terrible fear. We’re going to have to reschedule. I apologize to all of you who came. I have nothing further.”
Hours earlier Bloom, a prominent attorney, stoked such anticipation with the announced press conference that her firm’s website crashed. With just six days to the election and polls showing a tightening race the stakes could scarcely be higher. The anticlimax was the latest twist to the explosive and so far unsubstantiated claim that the Republican presidential nominee raped Doe in 1994 when she was 13 years old. Doe has alleged the casino owner assaulted her on four occasions at parties in New York hosted by the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, a friend of Trump whom she also accused of rape. A civil lawsuit is slated for an initial status conference in a New York district court on 16 December. Trump has vehemently denied the accusations, calling them fabrications designed to smear him in the run-up to the 8 November election. Doe filed a lawsuit in April which was dismissed for technical filing errors. She filed fresh lawsuits in June in New York and California. The allegations have received less media attention than other claims of sexual assaults by Trump partly because they appeared to have been orchestrated by an eccentric anti-Trump campaigner with a record of making outlandish claims about celebrities. A Guardian investigation this summer found that Norm Lubow, a former producer on the Jerry Springer TV show, has been associated in the past with a range of disputed claims involving the likes of OJ Simpson and Kurt Cobain. The federal lawsuit alleged Trump sexually assaulted Doe in 1994 at Epstein’s Manhattan home and at other parties Epstein hosted on the Upper East Side. Epstein, an associate of the UK’s Prince Andrew, and who was convicted of underage sex crimes in Florida in 2008, has denied the allegations. Thomas Meagher, a patent and intellectual property attorney, filed the lawsuit for Doe even though he said he had never been involved in a case of this kind before. With Bloom coming on board Doe appeared – until the press conference fiasco – to have acquired considerable additional legal and media firepower.
The founder and owner of The Bloom Firm, which handles family, civil and criminal cases in California and New York, has in the past sued the Boy Scouts of America and the Los Angeles police department. Bloom hosts a Court TV talkshow and is a legal analyst for NBC News. She is the daughter of Gloria Allred, another prominent attorney who is representing three different women who accuse Trump of inappropriate sexual contact, plus others who accuse Bill Cosby of wrongdoing. In a Huffington Post article in June, apparently before she took on Doe’s case, Bloom said her allegations appeared credible given Trump’s “longstanding and well documented contempt for women” and abuse allegations made by his former wife Ivanka and Jill Harth, who detailed her accusations to the Guardian in July. Judge Ronnie Abrams has ordered counsel for Trump and Epstein to appear in his New York district court along with Doe’s legal team for an initial status conference on 16 December. That raises the extraordinary prospect, were Trump to win the election, of counsel for a US president-elect being called into federal court in proceedings relating to allegations of rape of an underage girl. The court order gives no details of the legal complaint raised by “Jane Doe”. It instructs all parties in the case to set out in advance the nature of the allegations and the “principal defenses”, as well as any previous motions and discovery as well as the “estimated length of trial”. A Guardian investigation in July found that a publicist calling himself “Al Taylor” attempted to sell a videotape of Doe relating her allegations for $1m. It linked Taylor through a variety of means including shared email addresses and phone numbers to Lubow, formerly of Springer’s daytime talkshow. Lubow was connected to a contentious claim, raised in the 1998 documentary movie Kurt and Courtney, that Courtney Love offered a fellow musician $50,000 to murder her husband, Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. Love denied the charge. According to the New York Post, Lubow was also behind a tabloid newspaper story that OJ Simpson bought illicit drugs on the day his estranged wife Nicole Brown was killed. When the Guardian quizzed “Al Taylor” about his true identity, the publicist replied: “Just be warned, we’ll sue you if we don’t like what you write. We’ll sue your ass, own your ass and own your newspaper’s ass as well, punk.”
That was the second of three hoaxes yesterday. None seem to be sticking.
If we make it through today and tomorrow without anything earth shattering, we're in a good position.
They need something that directly hits Trump. Not some hoax allegation. They need him in his own words, or at least the words of people very close to him.
That we aren't seeing that tells me they're out of bullets. If they have one left, now's the time to shoot, or at the very latest tomorrow.

I'm just concerned that the attacks may still continue after the election is over.
We have to remember that while the election is on 8th of November 2016, the inauguration and actual transfer of power is not until the 20th of January 2017.
So even after Trump wins we have to wait more than 2 and half months after the election for him to take office.
Does anyone know the legal status of a "president elect" in those 2 and half transitory months ?
Can they still try to attack and remove him in a obviously evil and biased, but semi legal way ?
Dear God. If these new leaks actually have the sort of material they claim to then American politics is never going to be the same again.
Even disregarding the sexual abuse of children, we could be looking at evidence of full scale treason and possibly malfeasance that could start wars and tear apart treaties.
Great move having Melania rallying in Main Line Philly. Very high skittish woman population there and in a crucial state as well. I'd even say it's the most important rally of the day as these are some of the most ardent 'B-b-but I just can't vote for Trump' types despite the daily bad Clinton news. I've been hearing she's going to draw 2k-3k or so, plus an overflow area. If she can siphon off some last minute votes by giving women the moral cover to vote for him it'll be huge.

What was leaked this time?
Most likely nothing: the "hacker" claims to have sent all the relevant info to appear on Wikileaks' site which should show up "in the next hour", but not a thing has appeared there. Someone just trolling I would expect.

Supposedly pedo files are leaking today on wikileaks. I for one don't believe it.
Why wait so long? Why give the elites more time to regroup or stop it? That sort of evidence claimed doesn't need perfect timing it just needs to get out before it's squashed.
Unless they just got that information last week it makes zero sense.
It seems like Youtube is now censoring Right Side Broadcasting, Trump's rallies aren't loading and are being removed by youtube. Anyone else having trouble with this now? Fuckin youtube
Remember, he said he would open up solutions to people and give them a percent of the saved money in the difference for ending waste fraud and abuse.
I think he said to gov't workers but I would propose doing it for anyone that can solve the problems.
I was thinking of starting a thread on solving the bullshit waste that is the Veterans Affairs.
Yes Fisto there is a already a government incentive to save money by providing a cheaper solution, but to bring change to the existing system is literally an act of Congress. I will write more about it in a few weeks.
For now Let's bring the Presidency home and than we can fix the Veterans Affairs and rest of the Health care industry. Good Health care will be delivered under budget by millions. Believe me.
Obama made a speech for Hillary near the university I am studying this morning, this place is still crawling with cucks and women supporters carrying giant H signs. The university was used to set up the event.
I should've worn my make america great again cap, never leaving home without it

After that gentleman goes off on the reporter look at the reporters body language:

Gents, THIS IS OUR OPPOSITION.

If Vladimir Putin had interfered in a criminal investigation like Obama does now, we wouldn't have heard the end of it, yet Obama's veiled threats are just a-ok.

I believe they did just encounter it last week. The NYPD, which is more or less out of the State Departments, DOJ, and Executive Branch's influence, came across the nasty.
A separate organization willing to open another investigation on the same suspects would be mighty bad press for Comey and the FBI.
Now, whats the NYPD's motivation to do this?
The cop shooting in 2014 and all the related BLM bullshit that has gone on since then. DeBlasio is team marxist, federalize everything. When he didn't back them up, it most likely opened up a can of shit within the NYPD politically.
Unless of course that Prietzcker guy from the video is still on Kissinger's dick and running a huge psych-op with Comey. Which would make even less sense.
What I wouldn't give to be a fly on the wall in some of these locations right now.
Either way, we don't wait for the other team to throw a pick six to close this game out. We run it down their throats.
Last night had a great conversation about Hillary's massive corruption with friends and their family members all around in a circle. I had no idea she had this much hate amongst people I assumed were voting for her. They pointed out the anti-hillary sign in their neighborhood and how it had been joined by a Trump sign. I heard the words "Trump is bad, but Hillary is WAY WORSE" come out of a teacher's mouth.
I woke up this morning much earlier than usual with a freedom boner. Rolled over and started playing with my girl. Told her to get up and ride it. She complied and loved it, as did I.
Took a hot shower while looking forward to the day. Walked out to my car, pulled my shirt off, unfurled a maximum triggering shirt I got in the mail recently and donned it slowly. Drove over to a local breakfast/lunch spot that is SJW central and enjoyed the furtive glances I was getting while making a to go order.
Sat down at a table while waiting for my order and as I took my seat this middle aged lady in glasses with a pudgy looking husband looked up and her eyes LIT UP when she saw "Hillary" on my shirt and then she visibly soured as she read the rest:
She asked something related to politics and we entered into a jilted conversation where she didn't really have a lot to say other than to ask questions. I explained that I was somewhat skeptical of the corruption claims against Hillary until the last couple weeks and the mountains of evidence that keep piling up of her corruption from the Podesta E-mails, the rest of the Wikileaks releases, Project Veritas, the FBI releases, etc... and now I know she and the Clintons are horrible.
Then I went on to ask her if she knew that it's PROVEN in the releases that she colluded with the DNC to steal the Democrat nomination in the primaries from Bernie? That the only other anti-establishment candidate got blatantly cheated? This may have been the one point where the husband asked "do you think the Bernie supporters are going to vote for Hillary?" and I told them both that no, I think that the Bernie supporters are mostly going to vote for Trump, Gary Johnson, Jill Stein, or a good bit of them are instead going to just stay home.
She asked me if I was a Bernie supporter and I told her at that time I was undecided (HA). They didn't know what to think at all. She kind of just started eating and then they meekly said bye when I stood up after getting my order called and said, "It's going to be really interesting, you guys have a great day" with a big smile on my face. On my way out the register girl was coming back in and opened the door for me so I thanked her and wished her a great day as well as she smiled super wide nervous either because she was scared of Trump supporters or because she was impressed by my shirt and attitude.
Melania's speech, short and sweet. She starts at the 01:01:20 mark.
UPDATE: She's talking about her immigrant experience; about what kind of country Donald wants; what she would do as First Lady; internet bullying; women in poverty.

Quote:Six months ago, Steven Mnuchin became finance chair for the Trump campaign. Having succesfully helped to raise 10s of millions of dollars for the campaign, the former Goldman Sachs partner and Soros Fund management employee is now positioned for something much larger as Donald Trump reportedly told his aides today that he wants Mnuchin to serve as his Treasury Secretary.
Ironically, Trump has often criticized Clinton (and his former competitor Ted Cruz) for their links to the big banks:
"I know the guys at Goldman Sachs. They have total, total control over him. Just like they have total control over Hillary Clinton,” Trump said in one debate.
But as we noted previously, he had no qualms, however, in hiring one of the most prominent Goldman alums to raise money for him.
In addition to Goldman, Mnuchin also worked at Soros Fund Management, whose founder, George Soros, has funded many left-leaning causes. Where it gets even more bizarre is that Mnuchin has donated frequently to Democrats, including to Clinton and Barack Obama.
As a hedge fund manager, Mnuchin is part of a group of businesspeople Trump has excoriated. In August, Trump said hedge fund managers were "getting away with murder" as he touted his proposal to end the so-called carried interest loophole, which gives private equity and hedge fund managers preferential tax treatment.
"The hedge fund guys didn't build this country," Trump said at the time on CBS' Face the Nation. "These are guys that shift paper around and they get lucky," he said. "They are energetic. They are very smart. But a lot of them—they are paper-pushers. They make a fortune. They pay no tax. It's ridiculous."
They apparently are also very good at raising money.
* * *
Some more on Mnuchin's background: starting his career in the early 1980s as a trainee at Salomon Brothers before moving to Goldman Sachs in 1985, Mnuchin was front and center for the advent of instruments like collateralized debt obligations and credit default swaps. He has called securitization “an extremely positive development in terms of being able to finance different parts of the economy and different businesses efficiently.” The pitfalls of the financing method came later, he's said.
Mnuchin's father, Robert Mnuchin, was a partner at Goldman Sachs in the 1960s. The second-youngest of five siblings, Steven attended the prestigious Riverdale Country School and then Yale University, where his roommate was Edward Lampert, who would go on to become a hedge-fund manager and owner of Sears.
More recently, in October 2014 Mnuchin became co-chairman of the board of the Hollywood studio Relativity Media due to Dune's fascination with movies. Dune has provided financing for batches of winning movies, like the “X-Men” franchise and “Avatar,” Hollywood’s all-time box-office champion.
Relativity Media filed for bankruptcy last summer, just a few months after Mnuchin's arrival. According to Variety, Dune was intimately involved in the studio's failure.
The money-man and fellow investors in a Dune Capital fund are said to have lost as much as $80 million — equity that is almost certain to be lost for good, said two sources familiar with the situation. And disgruntled Relativity investors privately are questioning how a bank Mnuchin once headed –OneWest Bank of Pasadena – was allowed by Relativity to drain $50 million from the studio just weeks prior to the July 30 insolvency filing.
Mnuchin had left Relativity just days before the company reached an agreement with OneWest to extend the loan deadline and allow the bank to claim that money.

To be sure, Hillary Clinton, who in turn has been attacked for her paid speeches to Goldman Sachs (and her public-private positioning for them), also has a high-ranking Goldman official in her ranks, former CFTC commissioner Gary Gensler, who is the former secretary of state’s chief financial officer and whom she is grooming for a potential Treasury Secretary.
But for Trump, a self-professed "anti-establishment" candidate, who has repeatedly stated he is not "for sale to special interest groups", his sudden call for the seemingly most "Wall Street" of Wall-Streeters to become Treasury Secretary may come as a big surprise to some and will leave many of his supporters demanding an explanation.
So it's Obama all over again? Because I remember that's the first thing he did once he took office - placing GS henchmen into the treasury and the Fed.
I don't even know why I bother to cast my vote at this point. I hope you guys can appreciate the implications here.
