We discuss the government coverup, her sister's 1996 FBI report, egregious institutional failures at the FBI, and what's missing from Friday's release.
Thank you Allison for keeping us informed about this horror. My heart aches to think about what these “girls” (and boys). I doubt anything will happen to this administration but they’re not going to get away with this. We may not see it, but it will happen. Hod only knows. I so enjoy every thing you do. I hope your holidays are wonderful.
While they are at it they should subpoena the 1955-1970 FBI files for their failure to vigorously pursue and hold accountable all the racist killers of hundreds of Black citizens and their allies. No one has ever done a full accounting of the numbers of people who were killed. Perhaps if the US government through its DOJ and FBI had held the white men accountable for the civil war, for the mass murder of whole Black communities and hundreds of lynching from Reconstruction to the 1960s, and up to today, we might have had a better understanding of the importance of accountability of white men for the domination and cruelty of their actions against all minorities and women. We still haven't learned that lesson, but we are at a critical juncture to revision actual justice.
Allison, from the bottom of my heart... You are an American Hero. Thank you so much for your reporting, courage, and commitment to speaking truth to power.
Finally, concentration on the SURVIVORS! Finally, y’all have VINDICATION! (At least somewhat, partially! I did see a blip on this yesterday and was grateful then too! Thank you, Ms Gill for this post! I have love in my heart for answered prayers. This is a phenomenal beginning! I hope prayers continue to be answered. In my heart of hearts, I’m shocked this important document was released. Less so shocked that the other one is unreleased. Sending love and light! Melanie
Thank you for the interview with Ms. Farmer. It is a more than a shame that it took so long to be vindicated. Unfortunately, I don't think any of the victims/survivors are going to see any relief or satisfaction of seeing their abusers brought to justice. There are just too many ultra rich and world powers involved for any real justice to be done.
If HALF the people who are disturbed, revolted, infuriated by this story of 3 decades of collusion called Senators and Representatives repeatedly, believe me they'd make sure to investigate and punish.
We need to make our politicians afraid of us, and we can't do that by letting up on the pressure.
These women have been fighting for 30 years. Surely we can fight for another 30! Or it will continue to happen.
The Republicans in Congress have to get a collective soul as well as the Supreme Court traitors. However, we may see some action if the Republican constituents threaten their congressmen and Senators and put up a stink.
We are really at the mercy of Congress and the Supreme Court.
If we were living in a sane world, this bloviating, narcissistic madman would be gone from our lives through either the invocation of the 25th amendment or through impeachment proceedings.
We will have to keep protesting and marching. It wouldn’t hurt to have a general strike.
If we were living in a sane society Trump would have been tried and no doubt indicted for inciting the Jan 6 insurrection, and for stealing classified documents. A la Jack Smith's recent testimony.
The Republicans will not get a collective soul. The Democrats will have to stop assuming that things operate the way they used to in "normal" times back when all they had to do was answer to their big donors.
Has anyone checked in on the Chinese sex workers caught in Bob Kraft's unhappy ending on video in Tokyo Day Spa chain sting and raid, also rumors of Super Bowl destination trafficking?

I’m so sick of what women have to endure at the hands of privileged and powerful predators. Then the humiliation for having the audacity to speak up. Always having to be twice as strong.
She provides a "format" with samples and facts needed on how to file a bar complaint against Pamela Bondi.
Note, the idea is not just to complain, but to disbar them from practicing law. Florida has a provision, unverified, of not investigating bar complaints of sitting appointees in an administration? WTF?
Anyway, Bomdi (is going to be her new name "Bomb" to me since she destroys the concept of justice.
Kate's linke above is for a bar complaint, yet, we need the most effective advice when communicating with one's actual representative, or the other representatives not beholden to the complainant. There probably are different approaches to each kind of office, and representative type.
Note, the bar complaint requires inclusion of evidence, dates, witnesses, which Kate illustrates.
This powerful honest conversation deepens the understanding of the personal, institutional, and social complicity that allowed and even encouraged Epstein’s essentially open abuse and manipulation of vulnerable girls.
Many people saw ample evidence of Epstein’s crimes even if they did not directly participate in those crimes. They knew. Epstein’s conduct was next to blatant. Their knowing silence was a clear message to Epstein’s victims that they would be alone if they spoke out, that no one in a position to know would back them up.
Some of the worst criminal enablers were the lawyers Epstein arranged to “represent” his victims. The conflict-of-interest could not be more glaring. I wonder what role those conflicted lawyers might have played in the sweetheart deal Alex Acosta gave to Epstein.
The Farmer sisters, Maria and Annie, are magnificent. Their story is epic. Everyone should listen to this conversation.
Thank you for revealing the largest example of institutional violence and cover up by the FBI over the rape and sexual abuse of children and young women for over a decade. The most devastating part of this is the ongoing cover up and redactions of the part our own President played in the sexual abuse of these girls!

they should subpoena the 1996 FBI individuals along with the 2006 FBI

Why go that way?

Very courageous—thank you. You deserve justice as do the others who endured this horrific crime and cruel coverup. May justice rain down.
Excellent interview!
I want to see these women get justice against their abusers.
Tick tock!
I’m so sick of what women have to endure at the hands of privileged and powerful predators. Then the humiliation for having the audacity to speak up. Always having to be twice as strong.
There’s a lot of talk about reaching out to elected representatives to share concerns about the Epstein files.
I agree and want to get in touch with them, but I’m not sure how to go about it since I’ve never done it before.
It would be useful to discuss how to contact elected officials.
Demonstrate, or have a guest on the show who can talk about best pratices when contacting an actual representative or other members of congress.
Include red flags to look for when contacting the representatives.
Simply telling us to “contact” them without guidance on what to say, how to say it, or who to contact isn’t enough.
Can you or Waj help us better prepare for reaching out to a representative?
Let’s go over how to effectively express our concerns when we decide to call or write letters.
Also, share what kind of tone is appropriate when communicating with these representatives.
The show could perform a mock contacting event to illustrate best and worst practices. And what right looks like.
Perhaps

Thank you for that interview and the way you handled it with the utmost sensitivity. You do really great work, you’re really appreciated. 💪♥️

He’s going to burn in hell
Is anyone considering suing the DOJ /FBI?
Thank you Ms Farmer for doing this interview. We are behind you and praying for you that you’ll finally get Justice!
