Trump raped a pregnant 13 year old girl, was present when her newborn was murdered

A place here on Lemmy to keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down (though probably not his regime).
Only rule is to add [TW] in front of your post title if you suspect that a survivor of sexual abuse might find your post triggering.
That and keep it civil and amicable.
I am obviously not a Trump supporter, but you have to consider with 350 million people in the US, and the fact that he was the US president, he is obviously a frequent character in schizophrenic delusions.
The tip line should not be considered hard evidence in itself, as anyone can call in and make any kind of claim.
I have no doubt that he is a pedophile. I don't believe this story without corroborating evidence though.

I believe the tip line until proven otherwise.
It's like 99% certain he used the "services", and probably helped the pipeline of new victims.
However the specifics of a web tip submitted in August 2020 in the height of a campaign should still be, itself, treated with some skepticism. There are indications that hopefully there's corroborating material to the tip that is absolutely worth searching for, but by itself, we should be cautious.
Why do we have to give him the benefit of the doubt? He's sending US citizens to be tortured in Salvadorian prisons and they have no rights. He'll get the same benefit of the doubt he gives those people.
Because we don't have to indulge in untrustworthy accounts because there's so much concrete material to work with.
To open things up for unsubstantiated accounts we are inclined to believe is to undermine ourselves when calling out those sources when they are not consistent with the truth on other matters.
This should absolutely be kicking off efforts to substantiate the indicated events in the tip. But we shouldn't act as if someone getting a tip into a web form is automatically a fact.
Meh, I go with the odds:
