E. Jean Carroll Defamation Suit Against Donald Trump

Sarcasm went over your head I guess. Being underestimated is a very powerful weapon.

Well then…according to your “credible” witness…most people believe rape is sexy. Did she describe your thoughts credibly?

The jury, who saw a lot more of her than either you or I did, found her credible. I respect their judgment.

Remember Donald Trump denied ever having met Ms. Harris, and then in his deposition he knew who she was – thought she was his ex-wife. That after claiming she was “not his type.”

If that kind of fumbling response makes you trust someone… maybe I could sell you a bridge.

The “truth,” as a platonic ideal, doesn’t exist in law.

This is how our legal system works. Tesitmony is evidence. Credibility matters. Hundreds of thousands of Americans are serving life sentences based on juries who weren’t there and based their decisions on testimony and their determinations of credibility.

Well that’s edifying. It has nothing to do with whether someone should believe he assaulted someone when it comes to making a voting decision. But edifying.

LOL…Checkers the dog talk to take attention from the crazy queen.

There is no undoing this.

Hey, today Donald “The Rapist” Trump lost another court case today :clown_face::sheep::snowflake:

“A federal judge in New York has dismissed former President Donald Trump’s counterclaim against the writer E. Jean Carroll, finding that Carroll’s assertion that Trump raped her is “substantially true.””

Link to judge actually saying that.

See pages 2-3.

Thanks

Can’t.

A judge today three out Donald Trump’s defamation suit against E Jean Carroll.

Trump claimed Carroll defamed him by saying he had raped her when a jury held for Trump on the rape count.

Several posters saw this verdict as a vindication of Trump’s moral standing.

Today’s ruling pointed out that the jury correctly applied a narrow legal definition of rape but that most people would regard the assault was found guilty of would be called rape by most people.

This clears the way for Carroll’s suit against Trump and should allay fears that a jury in a largely Democratic city won’t treat Trump

I am not sure if this link will get you behind the Times paywall. Here are the key paragraphs from the article.

"Mr. Trump, who is seeking to regain the presidency, had countersued in June, arguing that Ms. Carroll should not have continued to say that he raped her after the jury’s decision, and that her comments to CNN after the verdict sullied his reputation.

In the ruling on Monday, Judge Lewis A. Kaplan wrote that the jury’s finding implicitly determined that Mr. Trump had forcibly penetrated Ms. Carroll with his fingers, which he said amounts to rape as the term is commonly used, outside of the narrower legal definition that the jury was required to consider."

In a quick check, it appears that neither the Fox nor Newsman sites covered this story. OAN has it, with an article that extensively quotes Trump’s original denials of any relationship to Harris and specifically trumpets that the jury found for Trump on the rape charge.

Crooked Donald loses in court AGAIN!

Crooked Donald couldn’t keep his mouth shut after his first loss, so Carroll sued him again.

TODAY, in the second defamation case, the Court ruled that her win in the previous case carries over to this case, and the suit will proceed with the jury only having to decide the $$$$$$$ Carroll will win.

" A federal judge ruled that the jury hearing E. Jean Carroll’s defamation lawsuit will only need to decide how much money Donald Trump will have to pay her, after the judge found the former president was liable for making defamatory statements.

The finding is a significant blow to Trump, who is facing numerous criminal indictments and civil lawsuits – many of them coming to a head as he embarks on a presidential campaign."

You have to hand it to a crook and a loser who doesn’t have the judgment or ability to keep his flapping guns closed, no matter how badly it hurts himself.

Or maybe he is someone who just believes he is above the law and who has reinforced that belief by decades of paying lawyers to settle matters out of court without ever admitting culpability.

Oh well, this probably will help Trump generate another round of fund raising from his fanbase.

She’ll never see a penny, because Crooked Donald will be broke, but it’s a good way to keep him broke.

Based on previous discussion with Trump cultists, this is just good business practice and the contractors should have done a better job or hired better lawyers. Its the usual round robin of excuses.

Trump can do no wrong, he can only be wronged. But its not a cult.
