Maria Farmer, whose sister Annie was abused by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, says Epstein ‘stole’ nude images

While Donald Trump’s justice department did not deliver on a legal requirement to disclose all Jeffrey Epstein-related files by Friday, one document in an otherwise underwhelming disclosure lifted the veil on authorities’ inaction – and its dire consequences for dozens of teen girls.

That document is an FBI report from Maria Farmer, a painter who worked for Epstein around 1996.

Farmer, whose sister Annie Farmer was abused by Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell at age 16, told authorities in 1996 that the late financier “stole” nude images of her siblings.

    Failed? They chose not to, they chose to protect him and his clients and friends. There was no failure, only intent.

    everyone around me in the 90s thought i was crazy for insisting bill clinton should be tied up and thrown in the river just for telling lies, even though i’ve never not voted D

    turns out it was much worse than just getting a BJ from an intern

    yes, all politicians lie. and when it’s established that they’ll face no consequences for it-- just look where that got us today

        it is true that trump needs to be removed from anything resembling authority, and that should be everyone’s top priority, american or not

        but it’s also important to remember that people have been asking “how was hitler allowed to get as far as he did?” since the 40s

        people ignoring that question is part of the reason we have trump in the first place–people letting fucking corrupt amoral politicians get away with shit. how tf did a weird scream sink howard dean, but fraud, corruption, “grab’em by the pussy,” literal child-raping not sink trump?

        stopping trump is paramount, but it’s not enough. we have to make it so this never happens again.

        No no I’ve got enough attention for both [all] of them. I don’t care who they are or if I voted for them

          Excellent, they all need to go down. I thought you were trying to divert attention, like many MAGATS are doing today and probably for a long time after. Either way, have a great holiday season.
