General Discussion

Keep in mind here "would never represent someone bringing a false accusation" inherently involves the word "knowingly". There remains a possibility that not only did the events not happen, but also that the PERSON "Katie Johnson" (as described in the complaint) might not even exist. Bloom may have never met her if all her involvement was is media communications.

I wish you could read the Vox article. The whole situation was sketchy as heck. You probably ran into same issue as me, limit on Vox articles per month. Next time your free article count refreshes, you should check it out. Somebody withdrawing their case just before going to trial, claiming they did so because they feared for their life could be for real, or it also could be because it's a convenient excuse for backing out of a hoax w/o having to prove anything.

"the entire sordid mess will be revealed to the public and we will all know the truth"

Maybe. But I bet it won't involve "Katie Johnson". And then if it does all come out, nothing will happen to Trump except for embarrassment, just like nothing has happened to anyone else but Epstein and Maxwell. Trump is by far the most protected of any of them. If something were going to happen to IQ47 over it, it would have been during the 4 years of Biden, IMHO.

And I think at least ONE of the 15 or so victims we've heard from so far would have named Trump at some point. But none ever have, and Virginia Guiffre, who was practically their concubine when she was 17-18 yo, said under oath she'd never seen Trump with Epstein, nor talked to any other girl who'd ever seen Trump. Remember this case goes back well before 2015 when Trump announced

My own guess is that what Trump is worried about is damage to his reputation because not only did he know what Epstein was up to and said nothing, he'd tried to blackmail Epstein over it because Epstein was also aware of Trump's money-laundering for Russians and didn't want Epstein to expose him. I speculate that's what the "beautiful secrets" birthday note was i.e. a blackmail threat. Let's be "pals" who keep each others "secrets". I think he's obviously worried over the Epstein case, but I don't think it's because he was partaking himself. MHO.
