And yet there is a case number and record of the case.
Case was real, one was dismissed and another dropped though. I think they're saying that the accusation was fake. The article does make it sound really suspicious, but also it mentions that it could be real but just handled bizarrely.
Exactly. Poor wording on my part, but the kicker is that none of the other Epstein victims corroborate that Katie Johnson was one of them.
The lawsuit itself appears to be real, not fake.
The allegations may not be true.
It's subtle, but there's a difference
It might also be the allegations are 100% true, but the death threats and people trying to destroy your life and those around you might not be worth it. Look how Stormy has been treated when the Cult is out to get you.
Yeah.
I fear that my original comment might be misconstrued so I just want to make it (probably annoyingly) explicit:
FWIW I fully believe Trump did this and worse, but that's just me
Poor wording on my part. The lawsuit was not fake, the allegations were. None of the other Epstein victims corroborate that Katie Johnson was even on Epstein's island.
I do think Trump has done similar/worse though, but there's yet to be any real evidence surfaced.
