*rape
streisand effect. nothing obvious then replacing BONDI with todd blanche too.

I am sure they will find tons of evidence and put together an articulate well thought out case. It will totally show she planned well in advance a conspiracy to allow trump to follow her into a dressing room and forcefully stick his fingers up inside her vagina against her objections. All so she could later file a lawsuit against him and sully his good name.
It's almost the perfect crime...
*Who proved so definitively that Trump raped her, that he automatically owes her millions of dollars anytime he claims that he did not rape her. Which he in fact did
So like, a third payday for her?
Only if the fascists are taken down.
I know we get desensitised but this seems like an escalation of the corruption, no? Like it seems there's a difference between suing the media for printing something bad about you and suing an individual for daring to win against you in court?
Maybe I'm forgetting similar instances - remind me if so - but otherwise do you agree?
Well this isn't a lawsuit. They are actually trying crimely prosecute her for winning that rape case. So much worse.
JFC, literally throwing good money after bad.
Enjoy your third lawsuit, lawyers for E. Jean Carroll.
does it get more evil than raping someone, and then trying to frame them as a criminal for saying so?
She should cash in on the J6 slush fund.

This was the shit centrists said when anyone who had insight told them Trump would pay nothing and get away with it.
It’s in fact worse.
So let me see if I have this right:
- Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and ordered to pay restitution (he's appealing this)
- Trump frequently and publicly called her a liar and ended up in court again, and was found guilty of defamation. Ordered to pay restitution again (say's he's going to appeal that, too)
- So now they're trying to charge her with perjury because she said, in a deposition, that nobody was paying her legal bills, and it later became known that Reid Hoffman paid some of her expenses.
I can't see how this can go well for the justice department. There's no evidence that she was lying. It's very possible she either didn't know about the money from Hoffman at the time, or that the funding was secured after her deposition. Either way, a judge already ruled that it wasn't relevant to the case. IMO, this will almost certainly get thrown out for being vindictive prosecution. IANAL, though.
It’ll go through
She’ll get charged
Hasn’t she wanted 1 millions from him already? Does she need more money?
Nope. The First Trial (2023): A federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding Carroll $5 million in damages. Then, a Second Trial (2024): A separate federal jury awarded Carroll $83.3 million. $65 million in punitive damages and $18.3 million in compensatory damages) strictly for defamation. However, no money has been exchanged because it’s tied up in the courts forever.
Either she or Trump will die before any money change hands. Trump has tried pretty much everything he can do and even some things he can't do to avoid paying her. He has appealed the case to the Supreme Court 12 times until now and he will keep doing it until they actually say no or take up the appeal. He has even tried to add the Justice Department to the trials as a defender so he could then claim liability immunity.
Every penny of his and his extended family should be taken. Give her $100m, and use the rest for a museum for minorities and women.
