Donald Trump walks out of the courtroom as E. Jean Carroll's lawyer was making closing arguments
“You don’t feel like a victim?” Cooper asked.
“I was not thrown on the ground and ravished, which, the word ‘rape’ carries so many sexual connotations. This was not sex...this was not sexual,” Carroll said
A sweeping grand gesture, to be sure. And so totally representative of Donald Trump’s way of thinking.
Time need not be wasted on fools.
All this is farce anyway, everybody knows Trump is going to immediately appeal (that goes for all the cases against him) because he knows he’ll get a much fairer shake at appellate court level.
The correct word is “ravaged.”
Jury would love that. I bet they’d add another zero on to the judgment if he did that.
They’re already not impressed
True enough.
They will anyway
Dum move
“I didn’t think there was a jury (of his peers)
jus a hearing before a crooked judge who determined trump defamed carroll begore the trial to set damages began???”
There are two different trials in the news right now. Carroll’s defamation suit (the one where Trump walked out) IS before a jury. This is the second trial between Carroll and Trump. Trump lost the first case, when a (different) jury found that he had assaulted and defamed Carroll. In the current case, the judge (Lewis Kaplan) applied long-established law to rule that Trump couldn’t re-try that case. The second jury must take as true whatever the first jury decided. That’s why this trial is limited to damages.
The nonjury case is the New York Attorney General’s civil fraud trial against Trump individually and several other defendants. Trump’s lawyer neglected to request a jury, so the case was tried before Justice Arthur Engoron. He’s expected to issue a decision within the next several weeks.
He is gonna lose anyway with that jury.
“Good for him. He should’ve flipped the middle finger as he was leaving.”
Oh sure... give the enemy visual/video ammo with which to further attack and use against Trump, while he is presenting a dignified, mature and unjustly accused persona.
Flipping the bird to the Marxist left may be what we all want to do (among other things), but actually doing it in public would be a very juvenile, asininely stupid thing to do.
I see. This is Donald Trump, the Uni Party Rino scapegoat. The bane of the never trump voter. So as long as it’s Donald Trump, even a legit victim of weaponized lawfare, your statement is perfectly fine. I get it. Yeah. Makes sense to me.
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT HE DOES THEY INTEND TO CRUCIFY HIM. The intent is so clear anyone can easily see it. So why not show the world what he thinks?
In my 14 years on Free Republic I have NEVER seen this level of hatred directed at one man. Never. Its not enough to defeat his ideas or beat him at an election, it is total destruction of a human being. And it’s comments like yours that support this evil.
“He is gonna lose anyway with that jury.”
Yes, but it’s the court of public opinion that matters.
thanx for sorting things out for me, eagle forgotten.
so many trials...so little time
they all kinda run together to me
Was the special unsettled NY law passed to allow E. Jean Carrol to bypass statute of limitations never litigated for being unconstitutionally ex post facto and/or a bill of attainder against President Trump?
Unsettled = sunsetted
bkmk
Thank you. I was unaware of the archaic meaning of “to ravish.”
