Why the MSM Is Ignoring Trump's Sex Trafficking Busts

Townhall ^

[MNDude]

Since President Donald Trump has been sworn in on Jan. 20, authorities have arrested an unprecedented number of sexual predators involved in child sex trafficking rings in the United States. This should be one of the biggest stories in the national news. Instead, the mainstream media has barely, if at all, covered any of these mass pedophile arrests. This begs the question – why?

As a strong advocate for sex crime victims, I’ve been closely following the pedophile arrests since Trump took office. There have been a staggering 1,500-plus arrests in one short month; compare that to less than 400 sex trafficking-related arrests in 2014 according to the FBI. It’s been clear to me for awhile that Trump would make human trafficking a top priority. .............

he recent pedophile arrests are just the tip of the iceberg and, whether Tapper and his ilk in the MSM like it or not, this story will eventually get so big that they will be forced to cover this horrific epidemic that has plagued our country for too damn long.

Excellent article as the author provides a realistic comparator... “As a strong advocate for sex crime victims, I’ve been closely following the pedophile arrests since Trump took office. There have been a staggering 1,500-plus arrests in one short month; compare that to less than 400 sex trafficking-related arrests in 2014 according to the FBI.”

Remember the Comey meeting with senators a couple of days ago that had no leaks? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3526469/posts
Has there been subsequent fallout or leaks??

BUMP!

I guess those guys can keep their mouths shut if they really want to.

[mad_as_he$$]

If you do find a leak from the Comey meeting please ping me. I can’t find anything.

[Mamzelle]

I am ignorant if this kind of thing. How does it work ? Why don’t like cal police see it? Why isn’t CDC called in? Is it going on in plain sight?

The writer of the article never answered the question posted in the headline. I think we all know the answer though.

About your lack of optimism that something will be done... I have a theory about PedoGate that may or may not be true. At CPAC Steve Brannon told everyone to "Hold us accountable." He was stressing that he/Trump wanted us to stay on them to make sure they followed through with their promises.

President Trump and Preibus have both come right out and said in plain language that kids are being trafficked in the US. They have openly admitted that PedoGate is real, and promises were made to use federal resources to stop it. During Trump's remarks at yesterday's meeting on human trafficking, his words for public consumption were quite clear: He wants and NEEDS us to spread the word about this so more people will know. We the People can speed this along and provide cover for him, and perhaps even keep him safe, if we put public pressure on them to put people in prison. The FBI anon leaker last summer predicted PizzaGate for a reason: to get the public educated and outraged.

Can you IMAGINE if Rebublican voting constituents were showing up at our local town halls and protesting like the Dems are? By harassing our politicians like the Dems are doing, we would actually be giving them cover.

I know Fox would show the news footage of our "PedoGate is Real!" signs. What would the others do? What would CNN do if we began making noise about this? Somehow, I think it would be hard to ignore if we were loud enough.

Excerpts from Trump's meeting yesterday:

I want to make it clear today that my administration will focus on ending the absolutely horrific practice of human trafficking. And I am prepared to bring the full force and weight of our government to the federal and at the federal level, and the other highest levels, whatever we can do, in order to solve this horrific problem. It's getting worse and it's happening in the United States in addition to the rest of the world, but it's happening in the United States, which is terrible.

... I'll direct the Department of Justice, the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies that have a role in preventing human trafficking to take a hard look at the resources and personnel that they're currently devoting to this fight. Now, they are devoting a lot, but we're going to be devoting more.

... Government can be helpful, but without you, nothing would happen. So, again, I want to thank everybody in this room. It's a very, very terrible problem. It's not talked about enough. People don't know enough about it. And we're going to talk about it, and we're going to bring it out into the open and hopefully we're going to do a great deal to help prevent some of the horrific -- really horrific -- crimes that are taking place.

And I can see -- I really can say, in this country, people don't realize how bad it is in this country,....

We need a leader. We need a new Tea Party uprising.

The CHILDREN need a Tea Party uprising. They are helpless.

Please tell us more about Canton. I’ve never heard that before.

[Nita Nupress]

That should have been Sean Spicer and not Preibus. Spicer said it during a press conference one day, if I’m remembering correctly.

Several weeks ago I stumbled upon this movie and watched it. It tied so much into what is going on now, Afterwards, I searched to see if it had been mentioned on Free Republic, and yes, during a pizzagate discussion TigerClaws suggested it and got no responses at all.

This kidnapping happened THIRTY YEARS AGO, and was never solved. But so much has been learned about this kind of thing since & though the movie isn't a slick production, it gets more and more interesting as it goes.

It looks like my theory in 28 may be close to the mark. Trump just posted this on Facebook:

“Maybe the millions of people who voted to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN should have their own rally. It would be the biggest of them all!”

[Mr. Jeeves]

When you have people like Maher, Takei, & Cuomo (although his was on the transgender subject) making the comments they’ve made with no general outrage or commentary by the MSM, adults taking sexual advantage of kids doesn’t seem to be a big deal to them.

I still think one of the primary motivations behind the push for unlimited immigration has been to give the politically connected greater access to powerless, undocumented, and untraceable sex victims.

Thailand is such a long flight, after all - and their government has been cracking down harder in recent years.

I remain agnostic about the ruling class being caught up in pedo scandals. The Clintons are clearly immune. Epstein and Lolita Island are enough to bring anyone else to court with. If the FBI rolls in and arrests them then I will change my position.

You are clearly well informed - have you noticed that many arrests are taking place in other countries? That alone is fascinating.

[cp124]

It is interrupting their fun time.

[onedoug]

Too many of their pals being picked up.

[RebelTXRose]

Young ladies are paraded thru in small groups. Their handlers know the johns they are looking for and there are motorhomes in the parking lot. It is quiet - if you didn’t know what you are looking for, you wouldn’t notice.

I’ve been to an information session at a local group - the lady presenting said these girls are runaways and some have been kidnapped. She tried approaching a girl in a grocery store to see if she could help and her handler noticed and yanked the girl away. She has been successful in helping some, but the handlers are dangerous and they aren’t all men.

The lady presenting said police are aware, but don’t want to start a shoot-out in the middle of this market. The paths through the Trade Days areas are very windy and narrow.

Could it be that the left prefers to cover up child sex trafficking because there are so many perverts in Hollywood, the media, and DC, and the majority of them are democrats?

[Roger Kaputnik]

“...it leads to D.C.”

Agreed. I believe if you dig deep enough, all crime leads back to D.C.

[Mamzelle]

Those motor homes have license plates, and people have smartphone cameras.
