Interesting rabbit hole I found.
Remember the show To Catch A Predator?

in 2013, NBC didn't renew Host Chris Hansen's contract because he was having a consensual affair?

But who busted him?

RadarOnline. Owned by AMI. Editor? Dylan Howard.

Before AMI bought him out, Epstein was previously part owner of RadarOnline, as per... RadarOnline.

Along with Daily News owner Mort Zuckerman, Ron Burkle, and Jesse Jackson's youngest son Yusef.

(thanks, Jared!)

The same RadarOnline that sued the FBI for docs about Epstein's court case (didn't Cernovich and Dershowitz pile onto something similar?

And, of course, the same RadarOnline that was getting into bed with Harvey Weinstein back in 2015.

And that stood to profit by Gawker going down...

And, of course, I have to ask this: since RadarOnline
a) used to be owned by one of the accused child rapists before being sold to
b) its current owner (AMI), known known to be directly involved in conspiring to fraudulently conceal Trump's sexual activity...

How did they manage to get an exclusive on the Katie Johnson lawsuit against Trump and Epstein?

You might find it interesting that Norm Lubow - aka Al Taylor - who found Katie and helped her file the initial suit has prior relationships with AMI, the Daily Mail, and Cheney Mason, who eventually signed on to the case just before it was dropped

& on a similar note to what's at the top of this thread, I've been told that ABC's @BrianRoss was in Katie's attorney's office on June 25, 2016, as the paperwork was being filed... the same reporter left ABC after reporting on given imprecise information by a Trump-linked source,

claiming that Trump directed Flynn to contact Russians during the campaign (though the source later clarified it was during the transition),which was 'corrected' shortly thereafter.

Side note: Given @BrianRoss's history of 'inaccurate' reporting linked to topics like Abramoff, Hastert, mass shooters' political affiliations, etc, I'd keep an eye on this - it seems much of that may not have been incorrect reporting - just then lacking sufficient proof. ;)

In any case, I'm guessing there are some details about that 2015 conversation between Cohen, Trump, and Pecker that we'll be learning about soon that might explain quite a bit about how and why the Katie Johnson story followed the trajectory it did,

and why, after someone identified an open missing person's case that probably would not have been covered by a non-prosecution agreement re: sex trafficking, they quickly followed up with Pizzagate, within hours.

How am I doing, @MichaelCohen212 ?

And this is just the tip.
