After Donald Trump’s first term as president, during the egregious collective regime of “President” Joe Biden, the left’s legal brigades launched an unprecedented lawfare attack on their political target. In New York City, the prevailing tactic was to attack on the civil side. The reason for this was that the standard of proof is so much lower in a civil trial that victory was assured in a town with judges and juries as leftist as NYC’s.
The tactic was effective. In 2024, N.Y. Attorney General Letitia "Big Tish" James and Judge Arthur Engoron hit pay dirt with a nearly half-a-billion-dollar judgment against Trump for allegedly committing some sort of real estate fraud. A year later, an appeals court tossed the absurd monetary penalty but upheld the fraud finding, including a three-year ban on Trump family members from leading businesses in the state and other major inconveniences to the business powerhouse clan. Trump has turned to New York State's highest court to overturn the remainder of the flimsy case.
Then there was the E. Jean Carroll rape fantasy (in my opinion — don't sue me!) involving Trump. In 2019, Carroll released a memoir for some reason, even though I can't say I'd ever heard of her before then. In it, she accused Trump of unleashing his unbridled lust on her in a Bergdorf Goodman dressing room in either 1995 or 1996. Recall that at that time, Trump was a hugely popular celebrity tycoon in NYC, so it's conceivable that a grasping nobody might fixate on him — especially an admitted rape fantasist like Carroll.

Recall that New York State deliberately suspended the statute of limitations for one year via New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which was conveniently active from Nov. 24, 2022, to Nov. 24, 2023. Carroll filed her suit within minutes of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D, natch) signing the Act into law. Why, it's almost as if the whole thing was choreographed!
In the good ole days.... you actually used to have to provide PROOF of any accusation of a heinous crime against anyone. What changed? How did things morph into the insanity it is now? Communism=Liberalism=Traitors=DemocRats.
Fraudulent warfare from the beginning, Tish and Ergoden should be jailed for this.
The evidence was “GET TRUMP!”
As the article says, the whole sorry episode was concocted to attack President Trump.
The jurors in New York were under intense pressure to GET TRUMP!
Carroll’s lawyer also should be prosecuted for knowingly permitting her client to testify falsely and then keeping that testimony from the jury. Lawyers have a duty to act with candor toward the tribunal so that the lawyer does not participate in a judicial system that makes decisions on the basis of false testimony. The charge against the lawyer would be based on Carroll’s false testimony in deposition and on the successful effort to keep it from the jury.
Trump should have let his lawyer respond to her allegations and not called her a liar (although she is). This is why Clinton never personally respond to the Lewinsky allegations and let his lawyer do it. You just set yourself up for a libel claim which won’t be barred by the statute of limitations at that point.
The trouble is the perjury charge would probably have to be filed in NY.
And the judge wouldn’t recognize that the psycho named her cat “Vagina” entered as evidence.
As I understand it, the lawyer isn't typically prosecuted if a witness lies on the stand. BUT, a lawyer who knowingly allows a client to lie on the stand and then fails to withdraw should be subject to disbarment or some sanctions for unethical conduct. I guess in some situations, the lawyer could be charged with something like conspiracy, RICO, suborning perjury, or something like that, but in most cases lawyers get a free bite at the perjury apple if they know their client is lying on the stand and they fail to withdraw. All that happens is that the lawyer is gonna have to learn to code or drive an uber if they get disbarred.
Not really. Trump was not living in New York at the time he called her a liar. Her lie was broadcast all over the country. Based on that fact, he can sue her in pretty much any jurisdiction.
To be blunt, although such misconduct is typical of many lawyers, it is rarely punished. And large law firm lawyers can be some of the worst because, in a pinch, they tend to get accommodated and protected by the judges. Of course, in the case against Trump, the political and legal system had been rigged, with a rotten state trial judge going along. After all, what's a little perjury in a good cause?
No, if they charge her with perjury they have to file in the district where the offense was committed. I imagine she gave her deposition in NYC.
It AMAZES, all that the DOJ is accomplishing, now that Pam Bondi is gone.
