Why didn't the accusations that Bill Clinton took trips to this guys secret "sex island" aboard his "sex plane" make it into the MSM?

Because like these allegations against dipshit mcfakehair, they are guilt by association, and until more evidence that isn't "he said, she said" emerge, it's slanderous to repeat and treat as if they are legitimate.

Just because Rump is a monster, and the nominee of the other party, doesn't mean he is denied his basic right of "innocent until proven guilty."

But there really isn't any evidence that this allegation of a 22 year old crime has merit.

From the very second this was first posted there have been scores of people on this board acting as if the allegation was an automatic conviction.

People think the absolute worst of their political enemies, and it's more than a little ridiculous.

the likes of Juanita Broaddrick, Kathleen Willey, etal.

Trump himself mentioned it, and the coverage of said accusations in the MSM effectively shut Bill Clinton off from campaigning on TV

you don't remember that?

not surprised

the accusations by Jane and Tiffany Doe, however, are a matter of legal record, and will, unless thrown out by another compliant judge, see the light of day, hopefully, in a courtroom, unless Trump and Epstein settle, which is what will happen, is my guess, if they have any brains at all. hope it's for millions and millions.

better yet, please let it go to trial

if he somehow wins the election, holy hell when that happens.

the woman is using now wasn't included in Epstein's little black book.

So maybe other news organizations think the claim has been discredited.

However, that was before the sworn affidavit was filed by the party planner who says her job was to witness these assaults.

Also, the Jezebel reporter failed to note that the first name is a common name and many if not most women change their last name over the course of their lives. She could have changed hers through marriage or because she went into hiding because she is fearful of Trump -- which is part of her lawsuit.
