When Trump heard Carroll’s claims, he denied them, which is what every man does when accused of rape, especially if he’s innocent. He also claimed that:

(a) he didn’t know Carroll and
(b) that he would never have gone near her as she was a “whack job” and wasn’t “his type.”

Carroll countered the claim that Trump didn’t know her by digging up a picture of her standing with Trump and Ivana at a party in 1987 as proof that they did know each other.

Under the standard of “having talked briefly at a party,” I know or have known George H. W. Bush, Brit Hume, Peggy Fleming, California governors Jerry Brown and Pete Wilson, violinists Pinchas Zukerman and Itzhak Perlman, and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, all of whom are just some of the many famous people I’ve briefly talked to at parties. I can assure you, though, that none of them know me.

In 2019, because the statute of limitations for rape—a serious crime—had long since expired, Carroll sued Trump for defamation, claiming that his repudiation of the rape allegation harmed her professionally and hurt her feelings.

Given that she went into the stratosphere on the left after she attacked Trump, I’ve struggled to understand her claim of professional harm.

It’s New York. There is no justice in the commonly unederstood meaning of the word.

In no other world (but Bidenworld) is this a two-decision $88.5 million dollar case.

Lawyers will be telling clients WRT the Trump defamation decision:
<><>regardless of how absurd an accusation may be,
<><>no matter the falsity of the charges,
<><>if you deny it, you can be dragged into court
<><>a politically weaponized judge and jury will rule against you bigtime.

They are so giddy and busy spreading lies.. you all run into those who hear the lies and believe them.. What they have done to this man who has not shrunk from duty to save our nation.. what they have done will one day be before them when they stand their judgment. And that may be sooner than later.

God is in Heaven watching all this... He knows what is His and what is spreading hate, division and lies.. to be in court before a judge... a human judge.. is but small things compared to standing before the Judge to be forgiven or sentenced...
He came as a Savior... next He comes as a judge..
These people will beg and cry..won’t do any good.. as in the Ark and the door closed..so will it be ONE DAY here on earth.

I don’t mean to preach.. I get through really tough times knowing God in Heaven is for the good and can destroy the bad. There is a lot of bad in the past years.

I would think that EVERY Law Enforcement Agent (Judge, AG, Police, Sheriff, etc.) and American Bar member who does not strongly object to this decision is complicit.

“ In 2019, because the statute of limitations for rape—a serious crime—had long since expired, Carroll sued Trump for defamation, claiming that his repudiation of the rape allegation harmed her professionally and hurt her feelings. ”

Worse than that. The civil case only proceeded because the New York government passed a law opening a one year window for people to go back decades to sue. It was passed at the lobbying of anti Trump people specifically to allow for this specific case.

A bill of attainder in all but name.

“The E. Jean Carroll case against Trump shows our morally corrupt legal system”

Oh, I think we’ve had a really good and solid grasp of how corrupt our legal system is for decades. Look at how they went after Clarence Thomas. And remember how the left lied about and demonized Bush for years, and the fake but accurate TANG memo? And then, their pulling bimbos out of the woodwork during the Kavanagh hearings. Lying bimbos that ALSO could not quite recall the exact year that the sexual abuse supposedly occurred.

No, even before Trump.... it has been glaringly apparent how corrupt the rabid, radical left has corrupted our legal system for some time now. We sat and watched Obama appoint rabid leftist after rabid leftist to the judicial branch for eight frigging years. That we have let things get this far and this bad is on us. We are now reaping what was sown, IOW... as we should have known all along we would at some point in time. The only thing surprising to me is that anyone is actually surprised at what’s happening.

This is a four minute video by Alina Habba (Trump's lead lawyer in the Carroll case) outlining all of the things the judge prohibited the defense from using at trial.

Trump's legal team had both hands tied behind their backs and a gag on their mouth, to the point that there was no way to put on a reasonable defense.

If you're not boiling mad after watching the above, you don't belong on Free Republic.

The Congress might tax all punitive damage award amounts at 100%.

eventually, the original conviction for sexual assault will be thrown out for some reason, which will necessitate having to throw out the 2nd because the judge said guilt was already determined.

Excessive jury verdicts might be federally taxed at 100%.

Plaintiff lawyers would be careful to prevent excessive verdicts.

And the dress she said that she wore when the event supposedly happened was not manufactured until years later.

Even if you hate Trump...Just remember... If the corrupt Just-Us system, with their shyster lawyers, corrupt judges and stupid, ignorant and partisan juries can do this to an ex- and potentially future President of the USA,....

....Then they can very easily do it to you, if you ever do or say anything ‘they’ don’t like. And unless you are a billionaire, they will impoverish you with lawyers fees. The Process IS the Punishment.
