EJean does not deserve this perverse thin skinned man who treats his regime as if he’s a wannabe dictator. She’s a fantastic human and deserves all of our support and respect. Drumph is a poisonous snake who has no good qualities or abilities. He wants to destroy the US for Putin and his own profit. He’s a traitor and a criminal
Speaking of his evil, horrific, ugly face, I wish that the media would not inflict it on us so much. I suppose that it is standard practice to include a photo of the main subject of an article, but almost all articles are about horrors that the monster toddler inflicts on us, and so his face is ubiquitous. We know what he looks like, so the media ought to be more creative in their choice of photos.
I am in awe of her strength. Thank you for your solid support of a woman who is being attacked by the biggest bastard in the world. If his dead body lay out in the woods not one vulture would touch its poisonous fat. Satan won’t take him either.
I disagree with your last sentence Linda, I think Satan has a special place for him already picked out. He probably knows it and figures he might as well grab everything he can while he can.
I think Satan is building another circle, one for the exclusive use of Agolf Shitler, his sycophants and toadies, the GQP/MAGAT Cult gutless eunuchs in the House and Senate, and the entire GQP/MAGAT Cult.
Agree! When Satan shows up in fiction, he's almost always more interesting than the so-called "good guys." I first learned this reading Milton's PARADISE LOST in high school.
Can you imagine. She brought Trump down, not once, but twice. If you haven’t had a chance to read the judge’s brief in the second case, I recommend it. There you find what Trump actually did to her. She’s a most courageous person, and should supported by us all.
"The allegation appears to be that during depositions, she said that she had not received outside money to support her lawsuits against Trump." The New York Times reports that Carroll's lawyers "argued that Mr. Hoffman’s financial support was irrelevant to Ms. Carroll’s legal claims and that she had nothing to do with obtaining the outside funding." That suggests that she did not know of the outside money. Even if she had, and she had lied (as opposed to forgetting) about it, this is obviously not a matter that would give rise to a federal prosecution unless it was for the sake of vindictiveness.
She has the option of course, of going to the "weaponization" fund and getting some of this money back if his bully boy tactics work..My barber's shop is a often a RW talkathon on sports and politcis and the barber told me this week,"Republicans are going to get beaten in the mid terms." He's a Trumper who has lost confidence. Trump's own desire for revenge is liberating Republicans voters to look in the nirror and not like what rhey see. .
Except that it's looking more and more as if the "weaponization" fund may not become a reality.
I'm out of gift links but here's the NYT headline & sub-head today: "Judge Reopens Trump’s I.R.S. Suit and Questions His ‘Weaponization’ Fund | The ruling was a blow to both President Trump, who had voluntarily dismissed the suit last week, and to the Justice Department, which used the suit to establish a fund likely intended for Trump allies."
This regime is working hard at removing rights for the female population. That a woman got the best of him must be driving him ever more to the brink. I love it.
True. Alito has actually said we went wrong in the sixties, giving women rights, and signing the Civil rights legislature, and he wants to reverse our progress!
I know this is a different topic, but the same basic MO.
Question: What is worse than "total obliteration" like Trump did to Iran 6 months ago?
Answer: Surviving to be in a Ultra Fight Club contest with Trump; his preferred foreign policy style.
Let's consider what our Emperor/President's Iran war)fight club show has cost us in its first 90 days. The upfront military equipment and personnel costs combined with repair to damaged infrastructure and veterans care is up to $90 billion or $1billion/ day. Add to that the $1.00 increase cost of gas which leaves consumers paying a "war tax" of $350 million a day or $31 billion in total so far. So we, the American tax payer is already up to $120 billion. No end in sight. Trump's solution? He.might have to bomb Oman. Did anyone, including his MAGA minions, vote for this?? And does anyone wonder how this financial wizard managed to bankrupt every company he owned. Now he's working on doing the same to the US. And FYI, that $120 billion is pretty much the amount the Emperor clawed back from American healthcare.
At least, when he is out of office, the government should sue him for the cost of repairing the White House. When the six Republican political hacks on the Supreme Court, contrary to the Constitution, gave him immunity from criminal prosecution, they didn't give him immunity from civil suits. It should be an easy win. Any landlord can sue a tenant who wrecks his or her house.
E. Jean's attorney took her case on a contingent fee, which means she gets a percentage of the recovery rather than billing her hourly. In a contingent fee case the client is responsible for the expenses of the litigation, although it's common for the lawyer to front the expenses and deduct them from the final recovery. In this case an outside donor contributed toward the expenses of the suit, money paid to the attorney and credited against the final expenses. E. Jean likely knew nothing about this and the attorney disclosed the payments to the Court. The entire suit is vindictive not legitimate and should be dismissed with the DOJ attorneys sanctioned and disbarred.
If that was the case and donor(s) contributions went directly to the attorney(s) without E. Jean's participation or knowledge she could not have "recieved" them, could she? Benefited perhaps, but unknowingly at that time. Case dismissed?
There was NO motive for E Jean to solicit money for the case as the lawyers were on contingency and would get paid only after and if they won the case for her. No hourly fees.
No hourly fees, correct, and the lawyers only get paid when they win and collect the money. The law firm is most likely advanced the money for the case expenses, which can be substantial in a major case with multiple appeals. E. Jean would not only have no motive to solicit contributions to pay the expenses of her suit, she was likely not even aware that outside people had shared the expense. All of this was disclosed to the trial judge and found irrelevant and excluded from the trial.
In his addled brain, Trump has turned the world upside down. Bad is good, injustice is justice, convicted felons are rewarded, criminality is encouraged, and ethics are for suckers.
I don't understand how financially helping a person fighting a court case is illegal. I know a person who got helped while being federally prosecuted. Is this a new law?
IIRR it was a perjury thing. The DOJ was filing a brief based on the assumption that Carroll knew she'd been externally funded & swore under oath that she hadn't been. Basically that means that either a) the DOJ was incompetent or b) that they knew it wasn't true & their prosecution was totally malicious. Occam's Razor -- what do you think? }:(
The attempted charge is perjury because E. Jean stated under oath that she did not receive funding from an outside source. It appears that a non-profit donated $$$ to her attorneys, not paid to her for her defense. She may have been unaware of that, or may have learned about it after her sworn testimony they want to prosecute her for perjury.
EJean does not deserve this perverse thin skinned man who treats his regime as if he’s a wannabe dictator. She’s a fantastic human and deserves all of our support and respect. Drumph is a poisonous snake who has no good qualities or abilities. He wants to destroy the US for Putin and his own profit. He’s a traitor and a criminal
I couldn’t have said it better! Thank you!
Every word you say is true, Lor. This is just more malicious prosecution, and I hope Trump gets it thrown back in his evil, horrific, ugly face

You may be right. I just think even Satan has standards …

Time for EJ CARROL RULES!!! bumper stickers.
E. JEAN $83M, TRUMP 0 also has possibilities.
Don’t forget: plus interest, accruing daily since the original judgments.
I want one!
Probably well over $100M by now.

It sure is vindictive! E.Jean is an extremely strong & determined human being! And has a fantastic lawyer!
Can we know the law firm that is standing up?
Ya think?

This never gets better because Donnie never stops being a psychopath/sociopathic cult leader with tentacles everywhere.
I and my entire family stand with E. Jean Carroll. If only Congress had her courage.
Thanks for bringing me up to speed on this case, Lucian. I had not heard the details, but was 99.999% sure that Shitler hadn’t paid a dime to E Jean.
Good name for a real shit of a guy!
Agolf Shitler, has never paid anyone without being sued for it and he just keeps it in court until the victim gives up.
This regime is working hard at removing rights for the female population. That a woman got the best of him must be driving him ever more to the brink. I love it.
I'm on Team Aneurism. C'mon, little clot. Be free, be free.
lol 😂. Let us pray…
You're jes' so bad. 😈🤣👍
What is that saying “A woman scorned…”. But they are so incompetent that they won’t even realize what happened. Ignorance is bliss…
"Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
Or, unfortunately, a SCOTUS beholdened. :(

Bomb Oman, the people that are supplying US Navy ships on station in the Persian Gulf.😵💫😵💫😵💫😵💫

Decided already by the court!
VERY IMPORTANT INFO
You are saying
There was NO motive for E Jean to solicit money for the case as the lawyers were on contingency and would get paid only after and if they won the case for her. No hourly fees.
No hourly fees, correct, and the lawyers only get paid when they win and collect the money.

Jean would not only have no motive to solicit contributions to pay the expenses of her suit, she was likely not even aware that outside people had shared the expense. All of this was disclosed to the trial judge and found irrelevant and excluded from the trial.
Exactly!
Thank you for that clarification.
The larger issue is intimidation. This maneuver is sending a message to others. In short: shut up, or else.
Yes. But E Jean doesn’t scare!
Truly. Where is the floor on this depravity, lawlessness, and corruption?
250 yrs later and it’s not only rise of the oligarchs. It’s the propulsion of mob rule. Mon dieu.
And they are the mob..
"the floor" -- There isn't one.
In his addled brain, Trump has turned the world upside down. Bad is good, injustice is justice, convicted felons are rewarded, criminality is encouraged, and ethics are for suckers.
Yes. 1984 newspeak..
I don't understand how financially helping a person fighting a court case is illegal. I know a person who got helped while being federally prosecuted. Is this a new law?
It’s not. The possible conflict of interest was heard by the judge and dismissed.
So Trump's DOJ filed a case against a person with no law behind it. The DOJ was literally LAWLESS. What times we live in.
Just like usual, yeah! What law?
IIRR it was a perjury thing. The DOJ was filing a brief based on the assumption that Carroll knew she'd been externally funded & swore under oath that she hadn't been. Basically that means that either a) the DOJ was incompetent or b) that they knew it wasn't true & their prosecution was totally malicious. Occam's Razor -- what do you think? }:(
Both a) and b).
You're right; I should have added a third option. 😄👍😈
And that would be?
Yes, iirc, she was asked about it. She knew nothing, and the judge took everything into consideration. Occam’s razor applies to both!
The attempted charge is perjury because E. Jean stated under oath that she did not receive funding from an outside source. It appears that a non-profit donated $$$ to her attorneys, not paid to her for her defense.
