Public Amplification Exhibit
Jennifer Engelsma / Texas Grumble
≈13 min read
This exhibit preserves a public TikTok video posted by Jennifer Engelsma / Texas Grumble on May 27, 2026, along with a comment exchange between the creator and an account appearing as ellieleonard02 on June 9–10, 2026. The exhibit is included because it shows the federal-danger frame being amplified in public before and around the federal-contact period described elsewhere on this site.
This page treats Jennifer Engelsma's public statements as statements made by the speaker — not as verified findings of fact. It does not claim that any federal agency was pursuing Troy Barile, that any GoFundMe violation occurred, or that any of Engelsma's legal characterizations are accurate. Screenshots are captioned to show what they show, not to assert conclusions beyond the frame.
May 27, 2026 — Federal-Danger and GoFundMe Video
On May 27, 2026, Jennifer Engelsma / Texas Grumble posted a public TikTok video framing Troy Barile as being “on the run” from the FBI, Las Vegas Police Department, Department of Homeland Security, and Secret Service. She accuses him of targeting, abusing, harassing, stalking, and threatening victims and journalists. She also warns viewers not to donate to his GoFundMe, stating that donors could allegedly get in trouble for “aiding and abetting.”
This exhibit is preserved because it shows a public federal-danger frame being amplified on May 27 — three days before federal agents came to Troy’s residence, and thirteen days before his Substack was suspended.

Jennifer Engelsma / @thetexasgrumble — May 27, 2026 — Public TikTok
Federal-danger and GoFundMe video — rough transcript — verify against source video before legal use
(0:00:02) Troy Burrill has claimed he is on the run from the FBI, the Las Vegas Police Department, the Department of Homeland Security and Secret Service. He claims he is running in the name of truth and justice. He’s targeting, abusing, harassing, stalking,
(0:00:26) threatening innocent victims and journalists. Troy’s behavior has only escalated over the past couple of months. It’s escalated to such a degree that he has threatened the very lives of innocent victims and journalists. And I have lots of evidence to talk. Please ask me for my evidence. About six days ago, Troy Burrell started a GoFundMe for his
(0:00:55) him and his boyfriend — they’re on the run apparently from authorities — that sounds pretty guilty dude. Advertising that you were on the run doesn’t make sense when you’ve been initiating
(0:01:22) instigating all of the content against innocent victims and journalists. None of us went out of our way to reach out to you separately unless it was provoked and we were forced to say something to protect ourselves legally. Troy Burrill is incredibly dangerous. I do not recommend you donating or anybody donating to his GoFundMe because you
(0:01:53) could get in trouble for aiding and abetting that potential.

Video 2 — Date TBD — Epstein Files / Defamation Claims
(0:00:00) Somebody please get this information to Troy Barill. It’s spelled in the back there. Make sure these individuals get this. And Ann Cheever is Black Mask Anon. And she references a Wikipedia page. So she’s a legit reporter. Dumbass.
(0:00:21) Anyways, so I’m coming here spitting some facts about defamation, crime, witness, intimidation.
(0:00:33) All right, so some of you internet sleuths, okay. I admit, I’m an internet sleuth too, but y’all need to go to how to find a resource, like school or something. What is wrong with you people? Don’t just take somebody else’s article, run with it and call it truth.
(0:00:55) that’s what these individuals do — they also purposefully do the normal trick we see here — every accusation is a confession for these guys. They like to break the law and then DARVO innocent victims.
(0:01:34) feels that it’s appropriate to dox innocent victims who are simply trying to do the right thing by putting the real criminals behind bars, which unfortunately Troy and Anouska are unfortunately headed towards. And I’m going to quote you some laws. And yeah, I’m educated. I did corporate environmental law.
(0:02:02) for over 10 years. You should panic, Troy and Anne. You really should. You guys are fall guys, and you know it. The people you work for are evil. And I will find the receipts, and I have found some receipts. Troy, if you didn’t know this by now, you’re in the Epstein files, brah.
(0:02:27) Yeah. Let me give this to you as your first welcome party to the Epstein files. You’re officially in the Epstein files, bruh. You messed with the wrong people. You are literally getting paid by the devil himself. That’s just an opinion with a tinfoil hat on TikTok.
(0:02:48) All right, so these individuals are getting paid by Epstein themselves, and Anushka has also gone on television and broadcast federally. Yeah, that’s a federal offense, Anushka. And she has lied, deterring pretty much law enforcement agencies elsewhere.
(0:03:20) In Nevada there are actually incredible rules about defamation libel and slander because yes the state of Nevada takes all three very seriously. Libel is written slander is verbal.
(0:03:48) And okay, let’s keep going. Nevada, revised statutes. You have literally thrust yourself into a position where you may be facing up to a year in jail.
(0:04:11) Nevada revised statutes NRS section 207.280 — it is a misdemeanor to knowingly file a false police report to a sheriff or a district attorney or a police officer — penalties include up to one year in jail — multiple violations
(0:04:40) leads to prosecution. And luckily for you, luckily for you Troy, I just counted them up — you and Ann and L — you all have racked up in the past three days alone — three days — you’ve racked up ten, my guy.
(0:05:09) That means you will be facing prosecution. Certainly. And since you have revealed that the police have gone to your door already, an investigation is underway, which means they had every reason to believe that you broke the law, my guy.
(0:07:10) Troy, stop defaming, stop harassing, stop intimidating. And I’m going to say this because I saw the evidence. Stop threatening to harm people.
(0:07:26) Or pretending like these innocent victims are out to harm you. The only people right now who are threatening innocent victims and witnesses are the people who are in the files. And as we discovered earlier, Troy Burrill, you were in the Epstein files. So you thought you went from stripper to internet journalist. You didn’t realize you’d be facing jail time.

Video 3 — Date TBD — Lawsuit Threat / 24 FBI Reports Claim
(0:00:00) Okay, so this message is for Troy. Stop harassing people. What you’re doing is illegal. And your last post is full of shit. The only people who have ends like that are those who still work for the criminal enterprise.
(0:00:31) So you’ve just further implicated yourself. You’ve added yourself as working with the Epstein class right now. So Troy, if you still have a job after this, it’s because you’re a criminal. If you still have a job with this criminal organization as any kind of journalist paid by these people — you’re really a moron, Troy.
(0:00:59) You are an absolute idiot. You just implicated yourself in more crimes. What you’re doing is harassment. Troy, I’m going to spell it out for you. And Ann Cheever, you are breaking many, many laws. And no, the police did not clear you with any charges. They’re legally not allowed to say that.
(0:01:25) Troy, stop defaming people. Stop spreading lies and stop talking shit. You just look more pathetic and more insecure, Troy.
(0:01:54) You are working with dangerous people. And the only people who work for them are also criminals. It’s falling apart, Troy and Ann Cheever. Keep defaming all you want. Nobody cares.
(0:02:22) All that this bullying and harassment is, is breaking the law. So Troy, grow the fuck up and get therapy.
(0:02:48) You’re breaking laws. And the only people who are protected are the people who we know you are now working for and getting paid by. We know you are getting paid by the Epstein class, Troy and Anne. And Anushka DiGiorgio.
(0:03:15) Don’t be around kids. Somebody needs to check Troy’s phone and camera and computers. Troy Burrill? Yeah, he lives in Las Vegas and he continues to dox people because he’s a criminal.
(0:03:45) Know that they are very dangerous and they have broken several laws. And no, the police would not freely implicate them on the spot. Unless you’re working with the only people who have defeated the freaking system.
(0:04:09) Trump, Epstein, Maxwell, Les, and all of the Epstein class. So Troy, you’ve blown your cover, you idiot.
[New video segment in source document]
(0:00:00) Troy Burrill, B-A-R-I-L-E, is a so-called internet journalist here, right, who breaks the law nearly every day with defamation. Now, I’m going to state the facts, and just like before, this is not a threat, nor is this
(0:00:26) nor is my intent to defame you. My intent is to get you to stop with your abusive behavior. This video is for evidence because everything you do is taken out of context. So just so everyone knows, Troy Burrell is in the Epstein files. That’s just a fact. And Troy has threatened and committed harassment, stalking,
(0:00:57) and worse. The FBI has confirmed that there are 24 reports open and active against Troy Burrell. His license will be revoked. For future reference, I will not personally reach out to you on my own. If someone claims to be me, it is not me. Please send it to me for evidence.
(0:01:26) Like I said, Troy, this is a notice of impending lawsuit. You just committed a felony. You created revenge porn against me. Now, I’m a mom. And I know you have a daughter. And this message is for her.
(0:01:53) She’s going to get this long after you’ve been in prison, Troy. You did nothing wrong. You did not do a thing to deserve this. You didn’t ask for this. You didn’t make your dad this way. Hang in there. Fight it out like hell.
(0:02:17) because the future gets better. As an adult, you have a lot more say in your life. And if the people around you don’t agree, they’re probably not the right people for you. As for your dad, out of respect for you alone, I’m done. I’m done talking about Troy. I’m not going to mention him anymore. Everything will be directed to my attorney.
(0:02:47) Enjoy your felony in two states.
