Two reasons why the rape case may not have drawn much attention before:

1) Not much evidence, plus it's "just" a civil case
2) Jeffrey Epstein is associated with a lot of powerful people, including Bill Clinton. Not necessarily a win for Hillary Clinton to have that name in the news.

Your letter to Congress has now brought this whole matter back into the media spotlight. Not even 10 minutes after being forensically interviewed with the FBI for seven hours, I received a phone call from a REPORTER asking for a statement. Why didn’t you communicate with the local FBI agents that I had just spoken to? They could have scheduled our interview sooner or scheduled a time to interview me later, or change locations of the interview. My neighborhood has been canvassed by reporters asking for details about me.
This thing just keeps looking worse for Comey

Isn't Epstein the guy that owns "Sex Slave Island" down in the Caribbean. Apparently that island is known for throwing sex parties for all sorts of VIP guests some of which are/were Trump and Clinton.

Both candidates are scary, powerful, rich, deplorable people.

I haven't gotten much sleep this past month. Staying up late, reading all of this terrible stuff. I am legitimately scared for this world.

Have an open mind man.
CNN has already been discredited as a Hillary Clinton campaigner.
Mainstream media have their own narrative and agenda.
Yes, as does infowars, but they are patriots and will turn on Trump if and when he ever becomes part of the corrupt establishment

I'm pretty sure his very first post was Icke-ish. Or maybe I'm thinking of someone else.

They also believe aliens control the Bilderberg group run by the JEWlluminati and contrails are mind control poison keeping the populace at bay.

I don't know who he is.

Are you saying Julian Assange is a joke? Or you only discredit him when his leaks don't fit with your narrative and beliefs?

I am really interested in learning more about your positions.

Oh ya? First time I have heard that. Prove this if you are going to make this claim. You like making outlandish claims about infowars, but I would be interested to read some actual links to news articles from them that talk about alien control of the bilderberg group.

Remember back in high school when our teachers would caution us to use reliable sources?

Then, remember in university, when professors would give your paper a failing grade if you used wikipedia as a source?

Infowars, drudge report, breitbart, bloomberg, CNN, FOX, CBS, ABC. Every single one of them has biases you have to be aware of.

Copping out on critical thinking because "MSM", or "establishment" does not legitimize a terribly biased source like infowars.

In real news, the Trump rape accuser presser just got called off because of death threats.

I guess this shouldn't be too surprising.
