    And the above post wins the award for it's complete lack of ability to offer any rebuttal to the content

    Not only are there other (criminal) cases, pending, but even E. Jean Carroll, has another suit pending against Trump.

    https://www.axios.com/2023/05/09/trump-verdict-e-jean-carroll-lawsuit-damages

    <Snip>
    Carroll initially publicly accused Trump of sexual assault in 2019, alleging that he sexually assaulted her in the dressing room of a luxury Manhattan department store in the mid-1990s...

    Trump denied the allegation, prompting Carroll to sue him for defamation in late 2019 on the grounds that his denial had damaged her reputation and her career. That case has not yet gone to trial.

    Carroll filed a second lawsuit against Trump in 2022, alleging battery and defamation, after New York enacted the Adult Survivors Act, which allows adult survivors of sexual violence to sue over attacks that occurred decades ago.
    <End>

    So this seems to be the suit, filed in 2022, while the one from three years earlier, is still waiting. Seems odd.

    He didn't testify. He never even went to court.

    I cannot see any reason to continue that 2019 case after today... she got her defamation award, even if it was for different comments...

    Also, I don't want to deflect my own thread, but while we are on the topic of lying Republicans....... George Santos was indicted by the DOJ today.... Like this thread, I cannot find a breaking URL and I assume somebody will open a thread shortly...

    Slowly is the key word.

    A classic moment 20 minutes ago on CNN. I normally watch MSNBC for my news and stuff, but flip over to CNN once a day to mix it up.

    Panel of 3 talking to Tapper about how Mango is liable for sexual battery and is a terrible human in general (only one of those is a breaking story).

    Then Tapper had to segue into a reminder that the aforementioned sexual batterer will be appearing on his network in 28 hours....

    He didn't seem all that enthusiastic....

    if that was true, they would have voted he raped her too, but they went with the evidence they had, which appears to be there was sexual abuse

    They proved a pattern of behaviour - that was sufficient

    A pattern of behavior =/= he sexually assaulted E. Jean Carroll. Such may be enough for you to convict someone, but it would never stand up in a real court of law and we both know that.

    The evidence presented:
    1. Oral testimony that was consistent with both deposition and cross-examination that she believed that he raped her.
    2. Other witnesses who confirmed her testimony and how she acted after it happened.
    3. Trump's own disposition in which she thought the plaintiff was actually his wife Marla for some odd reason, his narcissism, his arrogance, his acknowledgment that he said what he said.
    4. Trump not even showing up, which can play huge in a jury's civil trial.

    Then you don't know what emotionalism is because I never used emotional words or try to entice emotionalism in my post.

    Two other people claimed that he sexually abused them testified. Both unproven claims.
    Hollywood access tape had absolutely nothing to do with E. Jean Carroll. IE: irrelevant.

    This is not a “conviction” as it was a civil trial not a criminal one and it only needed a “preponderance of evidence” not “beyond reasonable doubt” so lower standard. Watch Glenn Kirshner or Miedas touch or any of the legal podcasts.

    His saying that E.J.Carroll was Marla in the photo was hilarious, not one but 3x,
    Who did he think Ivana was in the photo? lol

    Closing argument finale!!!

    When Trump says "she's not my type" what he's saying is that she's not attractive enough to sexually assault.

    Old Carroll trial news but still pathetically interesting seeing the PAB sit for his deposition.
