71. Dan Rather's career was discredited by fake documents of a real event.

So it is possible that is is a made up story to dirty the waters. But, when you first hear about a guy who was at the center of money laundering and abusing over a THOUSAND victims for years, and had close relationships with two US presidents and other heads of state and Royal family member... now that is implausible. But true and only scratching the surface.

So is this story plausible to me? First, my opinion is DJT is capable of all of this and any of this.
This Sasha person was between 9 and 12 when all of this happened and was being related about 30 years after the claimed incidents. So does every detail like people seen as part of the audience but not part of the direct abuse, if any of those are wrong does it discredit the entire story?
There are other horrific abuse rings like the Franklin Scandal and the Catholic Priest abusers that were going on at the same time.
Many 'Indian Schools' had huge unmarked graveyards that have been found on their grounds.
With Dog Fights and Cock fights happening, Bare Knuckle fights for the entertainment of the Rich and powerful is not out of the realm of possibility. And if they were not in a large barn type structure, where would they be held?

And it is not impossible that a person who has a Cage Match UFC fight scheduled for the White House Grounds would have been attracted to a private bare knuckle fight private event.

So do I buy this story as absolute fact? No. Do I dismiss it as absolutely impossible? Also No.

I am open to investigation to prove it one way or the other.

Trump sure is doing everything he can to keep the Epstein files secret.

A famous quote from former Governor Edwin Edwards...During a successful election campaign for governor in 1983, he boasted, "The only way I can lose this election is if I'm caught in bed with either a dead girl or a live boy."

Maybe Trump believes this?
