      Trump could get on the mic and say he raped a bunch of kids and his cult would approve and value his honesty. A handful of right wing commentators are already testing the waters with “there’s a difference between older kids and really young ones” kind of talk.

        Speaking solely for myself, there seems to be a lot of corroborating circumstantial evidence, times and places and dates that check out for people looking into it, but even if it’s 100% true I don’t think it’s ever going to be verifiable.

        That said, I know a survivor, I know what their recollections tend to sound like and why, and to me Sascha Riley’s recordings do have the ring of truth to them, very much so. This is one of those things where people need to decide for themselves, but I do believe that he personally believes what he says, and that there is a likelihood that what he says is largely true in reality.
