As you can see from discussion of the Trump-Stephanopoulos defamation settlement, Judge Lewis Kaplan's post-verdict effort to redefine the result of the E. Jean Carroll case has proven extremely valuable to Trump adversaries who claim that Trump is a "rapist." The jury specifically found that Carroll did *not* prove that Trump raped her, even by the low standards in effect at the trial. You can look at the verdict form -- the jurors checked "No" on the rape question. Instead, the jury found that Trump "sexually abused" Carroll. You'd think that would be enough for Resistance types; they can accurately say that Trump was found liable for sexually abusing E. Jean Carroll. But no -- they want to call it rape.

Maybe Trump can go after the unnamed Washington Post columnist now and make "Judge" Kaplan sit for a deposition. Also, for sure, Trump's attorneys better have demanded that they write upagus's apology and that it be repeated ten times as was the false accusation

Steffi or the network?

Trump should now turn around & sue Judge Lewis Kaplan, for a cool 1 billion.

Stephanopoulos will now be reviled by the left for not going to trial and defeating Trump. Instead Stephanopoulos folded.

George was already on the wrong side of every red-blooded American.

“ Stephanopoulos will now be reviled by the left for not going to trial and defeating Trump. Instead Stephanopoulos folded.”

Perhaps he will be reviled.

I watched that back and forth with Mace. The headline was Mace defends something bla bla bla.

But Stephanopoulos said “Trump, a rapist…”

I was amazed. And now I see my thoughts were correct

This slanderer had no where to go with this accusation. He was guilty for all to see

So I don’t know what you are talking about

Steff who?

Lord Farquart?

I have never watched or listened to one minute of Jorge StepONallOFus. The moment the Drive-By Media hired this Clinton creepozoid, it just reinforced the distain the Drive-By Media has for the truth.

“Put a little ice on it”. Bill Clinton>>

"Put a little pudding on it"......Pudding-head.

I think ABC knew the Carroll case was fake, and taunted Mace to try to get her to say so- and so expose Mace to a defamation suit by Carroll.

But Mace didn’t take the bait, although George repeated the claim many times.

Discovery would have shown that ABC knew the case was bogus, and that would have discredited the ongoing anti- Trump attack, discredited the case, and shown that George’s phrasing and questions were malicious.

Since that strategy was probably discussed by the ABC team beforehand, discovery would have exposed their dishonesty, and so giving up 15 million was cheap.

“Put a little ice on it”. Bill Clinton"

Do you not find it odd that Bill Clinton never sued any of the women that said he abused them sexually and one with a valid charge of rape? Nor did Biden sue the employee that charged him with sexual molestation.

[Verginius Rufus]

Biden called Trump a rapist on national TV. Why shouldn’t he have to pay Trump for defamation?

😂👍

[Captain Peter Blood]

Nothing was proved because there wasn’t anything to prove. Did the judge articulate how Trump could have sexually abused this woman in a public place, she could not even give the details of time and place, in fact she got her story from a Law & Order episode. This needs to be overturned on Appeal.

Here is Megan Kelly Dismembering Steffie. She is having a good time doing it!

Megan Kelly destroys Stephanopolus
