E. Jean Carroll says courtroom was a ‘campaign stop’ for Trump
CNN ^ | 01/29/2024 | By Kristina Sgueglia and Karl de Vries, CNN

Posted on 01/29/2024 10:35:22 AM PST by Responsibility2nd

E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist to whom a jury awarded $83.3 million in damages last week as part of a defamation trial against Donald Trump, said on CNN Monday that the court proceedings were little more than a “campaign stop” for the former president.

“The courtroom was not a courtroom to him, it was a campaign stop. That was clear,” Carroll said on “CNN This Morning.”

“He’s using me to win voters. Sexual assault. A man found liable for sexual assault is using the woman he sexually assaulted to get votes.”

Carroll has alleged Trump raped her in a department store in the mid-1990s and then defamed her when he denied her claim. A Manhattan federal jury last year found Trump liable for sexual abuse. Trump has denied the allegations.

Timeliness is important. As a matter of fact, mosaic law (on which English and then American common law is based) states that if a rape is claimed, the woman must scream for help, her clothes must be torn, it must be clear that she has fought the best she can. Further, the claim must be made immediately. If these two tests are not met, then it is assumed that the act was concensual — if it happened at all.

The whole thing is nonsense. It is too bad that when she made this claim in her book years ago, instead of just publicly denying it, he should have sued her for defamation.

The lesson here for any man (or woman as the case may be) is to bring legal action immediately if someone claims to have been intimate. On the other hand, if you have been assaulted, go to the ER immediately, and have a rape kit done.

Here are a sample of images of Tweets by this person Carroll, that were suppressed during the trial and could not be shown to the jury:

Note:These are not tweets from her to Trump. I believe these were tweets to other people that ended up with the Trump defense team.

Could be coincidence.

There are no coincidences.

CNN refuses to believe Biden accuser Tara Reid but believe this Bimbo who has zero evidence.

Wow. I had not seen those. She bounces around from bestiality to promiscuity to misandry and more.

What a skank.

I’m not familiar with the Reid case in detail, but this one
has fraud written all over it. How could a rational body of
people actually believe this woman? Don’t they think of
their husbands or sons? Would they believe a woman like this
making such idiotic charges against them?

No kidding. Try looking for them online, though. Looks like they have been scrubbed from search engines, but I bet if you go to Truth Social they are visible there.

I did find this on the MSN website:

"...Trump Shares E. Jean Connall's Alleged Tweets on Truth Social Ahead of Hearing..."

To me, the fact that MSN treats it in this fashion indicates those Tweets from the skank are real.

Hope not. That should be opposed under “cruel and unusual punishment.”

Good gawd, she’s gross! The downside to wealth and fame is trying to dodge all the stalkers, psychopaths, and sociopaths! It’s even harder to dodge corrupt juries.

From a different article:

"When Carroll's book excerpt was first published, some of Trump's allies claimed the writer fabricated her story based on the "Law & Order: SVU" episode. Donald Trump Jr. retweeted a clip from the episode to his followers after Carroll made her allegations against his father.

In the episode, a character suspected of rape describes a sexual roleplay fantasy.

"Roleplay took place in the dressing room at Bergdorf's," the character says. "While she was trying lingerie, I would burst in."

Carroll testified in court Monday that, while she's a fan of the original "Law & Order" series, she has never watched the "SVU" series, which focuses on sex crimes, because she believes it's too violent.

She also said she didn't know about the episode before writing her book, where she first publicly disclosed her allegations against Trump, and did not base her story on it."

This nutcase copied her story from a TV episode, right down to the store and the room she claimed it happened in. She also said live on CNN that most people think of rape as sexy and fantasize about it. She's a crazy fraud.

“How could a rational body of

This is Carroll’s New York article:

https://www.thecut.com/article/donald-trump-assault-e-jean-carroll-other-hideous-men.html

Carroll was a professional writer for decades and knows how to tell a story.

Every loose end tied up in the best possible way.

Sherlock Holmes would admire her. And so would Lt. Columbo.

This woman has accussed a very well-known man of rape.

In my opinion, rape is not a once-off occurrence. Rapists rape but most men never rape.

Serious question, has any other woman ever accussed Trump of rape? Of attempted rape?

She needs to be dragged through a manure pit. I'm sure she'd thrive there. Like seeks like.

President Trump is NOT a rapist!

‘E’ will have to get her fortune elsewhere. She’ll lose on appeal and will have to be charged court costs which she can charge back to the DNC.

I know we’re all sick and tired of these land mines set up for President Trump. Revenge will be sweet!

I went to college in the NYC media region in the early '90s and while he wasn't necessarily on TV everwhere all the time, he was ALWAYS on TV in NYC. They followed him everyhere, he was like the 90s version of a Kardassian in the '90s in NYC. Some loved him, some hated him, either waty he got eyeballs to watch so they put him on TV all the time. The idea that he went into a store alone and burst into a ladies changing room without anyone noticing is utterly absurd. It's like saying Barrack Obama walked into a crowded shopping mall in Washington in 2017 and made his way to a store in the back where he groped someone and then walked out, all with nobody noticing he was there.

Insane.
