The jury is a joke. The whole case is a joke. If someone accuses me of raping them and I didnt do it, and youre innocent, of course youre going to say something about itit was a joke. ~Marco Rubio
I dont have anything for you on that. ~ Senator John Kennedy
People who love Trump, love Trump. People who hate Trump, hate Trump. Its not going to make a differenceit just kind of validates what Trump haters think of him. People who love him have seen him go through things like this before, they dont seem to care. ~ Senator Cynthia Lummis
Obviously Id rather have a president that isnt found liable for battery. Its not a disqualifier, but its certainly not a check in the plus column. ~Sen. Kevin Cramer
He said he didnt do it, but actually I dont know the facts of the case. I dont know the lady or anything …”I dont know the facts. Its a New York jury, too. ~ Rick Scott
The jury reached their decision and I hope the jury of the American people reach the same conclusion: we need a different nominee to be the nominee for president. He is no position to be the president of the United States. ~Mitt Romney
“Makes me want to vote for him twice. They’re going to do anything they can to keep him from winning. It ain’t gonna work…people are gonna see through the lines, a New York jury, he had no chance.” ~Tommy Tuberville

A “New York jury.”
New York juries are …what, harder on celebrity sexual predators who brag about it? Never-Trumpers? You mean in Donnie’s home town all hate him? Be3cause? (He’s a grifter?)
As Donnie bragged, should he have shot someone on 5th Avenue he’d not lose a core voter.-
[h1][b]Timing of Trumps Town Hall Has Allies Freaking Out[/b][/h1]
[link=https://www.thedailybeast.com/terrible-timing-of-donald-trumps-town-hall-has-allies-freaking-out?via=twitter_page]Daily Beast[/link]: By agreeing to an exclusive town hall in New Hampshire with his biggest cable news nemesisCNNthe 2024 Republican frontrunner was poised for a made-for-primetime clash to delight his followers, set off his critics, and suck up the political oxygen in the critical early primary state.
Just over 24 hours before Trumps scheduled sit-down, however, whatever hopes he had to ambush CNN turned into what one of his former advisers called walking into a complete ambush.’
Said one Trump adviser: If I were on his communications team, I would be shitting my pants right now.

Grisham also detailed an incident in which Trump called a staffer to come back to look at her ass.
He one time had one of my other deputies bring her back so that they could look at her ass, is what he said to him, Grisham said. I sat down and talked to her at one point, asked her if she was uncomfortable.
I tried everything I could to ensure she was never alone with him, she added.
While she noted that Trump would frequently comment on peoples looks and speculate about cosmetic surgery, Grisham said the harassment against the specific staffer was particularly alarming.
But with this one staffer, it was really bad, to the point that I was extremely uncomfortable, Grisham said. I did everything I could to keep her off of trips actually, and to stay with her if she was with him alone because I was really nervous about what could happen.[/QUOTE]

Shortly after the event ended, Mr. Biden issued a tweet. Do you want four more years of that? it read. It was a request for donations. It was also a reminder how much of the Biden 2024 campaign is likely to be about Mr. Trump.

“I knew he would continue to deny it. But once the jury came back and the CNN Town Hall was on, we knew they were going to ask about it. And we knew he wasnt going to say, ‘OK, now I admit it, I was wrong. Im so sorry E. Jean, that I did that to you. We knew that wasnt gonna happen. I think I was a little stunned that he used exactly the same language. He basically repeated the defamation in ways that make it very easy for us to not have to prove a future case on the merits, because were gonna get whats called [link=https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/collateral_estoppel#:~:text=Collateral%20estoppel%20is%20an%20important,clause%20of%20the%20Fifth%20Amendment.]collateral estoppel[/link] or issue preclusion. So that wasnt maybe wisest thing for him to do.”
“Im watching to see if he keeps doing it, though. I mean, I think the threat of [losing] more and more money may ultimately tone down what he says at some point.”
…
“I think he understands money. One thing Donald Trump understands is money, and $5 million for Donald Trump is not nothing. And theres really no viable appellate argument. So hes going to have to pay that $5 million with interest sooner than he thinks hes gonna have to pay it. … Hell have to pay interest from the time of the judgment. Yeah. Thats 9 percent Im not even sure hes got $5 million in liquidity. He may have to sell something to pay you the $5 million.”

[b]E. Jean Carroll Seeks Additional Damages from Trump:[/b]
E. Jean Carroll, who this month won $5 million in damages from former President Donald Trump, is now seeking a very substantial additional amount in response to his insults on a CNN program just a day after she won her sexual abuse and defamation case, the New York Times reports.
Ms. Carrolls filing Monday in Manhattan federal court seeks to intensify the financial pain for Mr. Trump. The jury in her civil case found him liable on May 9 for sexual abuse and defamation.

a fresh round of re-defamation:

Donald Trump this morning:
I dont know E. Jean Carroll, I never met her or touched her (except on a celebrity line with her African American husband who she disgustingly called the Ape,), I wouldnt want to know or touch her, I never abused her or raped her or took her to a dressing room 25 years ago in a crowded department store where the doors are LOCKED, she has no idea when, or did anything else to her, except deny her Fake, Made Up Story, that she wrote in a book. IT NEVER HAPPENED, IS A TOTAL SCAM, UNFAIR TRIAL!

Trump:
The Carroll case is part of the Democrats playbook to tarnish my name and person, much like the now fully debunked Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax, the 51 Intelligence Agents, FBI/Twitter Files, and so much more. It is being funded and tried by Democrat operatives, although this was denied by them, and when they got caught in the lie, the Clinton appointed judge would not let us use it in trial. Time will prove him to be highly partisan & very unfair. Wheres the dress she said she had?

[h1][b]Donald Trump Must Face E. Jean Carroll Defamation Suit as DOJ Reverses Course[/b][/h1]
Donald Trump was dealt a blow in writer E. Jean Carrolls remaining case against him, as the US Justice Department said there isnt enough evidence to conclude that he was acting within the scope of his employment as president in 2019 when he allegedly defamed her by claiming she had lied about an alleged sexual assault, [link=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-07-11/trump-must-face-carroll-defamation-suit-as-doj-reverses-course?srnd=prognosis#xj4y7vzkg]Bloomberg[/link] reports.
The government revisited the issue after a District of Columbia appeals court clarified a key issue about the law and a federal jury in Manhattan found Trump liable for sexually abusing Carroll in a parallel lawsuit she filed against him last year.The Justice Department previously concluded that Trump was protected from the suit by the Westfall Act, a law that bars civil suits against employees of the federal government over allegations that relate to their official duties.

Donald Trump, rapist.
[b]Judge Says Trump Raped E. Jean Carroll[/b]
Although the jury stopped short of saying Donald Trump raped E. Jean Carroll, Judge Lewis Kaplan ruled today that he did, the Washington Post reports.
Wrote Kaplan: The finding that Ms. Carroll failed to prove that she was raped within the meaning of the New York Penal Law does not mean that she failed to prove that Mr. Trump raped her as many people commonly understand the word rape.’
He added: Indeed, as the evidence at trial recounted below makes clear, the jury found that Mr. Trump in fact did exactly that.

[link=https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-e-jean-carrol-rape-trial-testimony-is-already-coming-back-to-haunt-him-in-manhattan-da-case]Daily Beast[/link]
The Manhattan DA wants to use Trumps deposition in the E. Jean Carroll rape lawsuit to show how desperate he was to keep sexual allegations against him secret.
The Manhattan district attorney seeking to jail Donald Trump over his hush money payment to a porn star is seeking to potentially weaponize the same piece of damning evidence that nailed the former president at his rape trial: the deposition where he said stars like him get away with sexual harassment unfortunatelyor fortunately.
Its now up to a federal judge to decide whether those prosecutors can get a video that shows Trump at his worst: unapologetic about sexual assault, uttering misogynistic comments, and willing to lie to the American public to save his own skin.Historically thats true with stars. If you look over the last million years, thats largely true, unfortunately[i]or fortunately[/i], he said, later adding that he considers himself a star.
At the time, the video stunned those in the federal courtroom, going a long way to show how Trump remained defiant about his predatory sexual behavior. He called Carroll a liar and viciously attacked her female lawyer. At one point, he told the attorney, You wouldnt be a choice of mine either.[/QUOTE]

Judge Says Manhattan DA Can Use Trump Video-
A federal judge on Thursday decided to give the Manhattan District Attorney exactly what he wants: a video copy of former President Donald Trumps damning testimony in an unrelated rape and defamation case that was decided earlier this year, the Daily Beastreports.
For months, DA Alvin Bragg Jr.s prosecutors have been trying to get their hands on a taped deposition in which Trump actually said stars like him get away with sexual harassment unfortunatelyor fortunately.’
