“The New York Times contacted Ms. Farmer about a report stamped with the date of Sept. 3, 1996. She broke down in tears.
“I’ve waited 30 years,” she said. “I can’t believe it. They can’t call me a liar anymore.”

HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:
Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.
The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

This is an impeachment offense. One of many but this is a very clear red letter violation of the law.
BREAKING: At least 16 files from the Epstein release disappeared from DOJ's webpage, including a photo of Trump, with no explanation.

Everybody demanding immediate action by Congress, remember options narrow. A "criminal referral" of wrongdoing of DoJ goes to.. DoJ. Congress has no independent criminal enforcement authority. Sure they thought about options. Don't expect anything immediate. That is the point of an autocracy.
