Donald Trump in furor stormed out of a New York courtroom for a while, in the defamation suit brought by author and dating/boyfriend/sex-advice columnist E. Jean Carroll.

It was just settled against Trump for $83.3 million. The Carroll suit was largely subsidized by Reid Hoffman the billionaire capitalist, and mega-donor to the Democratic Party and leftwing causes.

Baffling? What's baffling about it?

It's pure lawfare against Trump. A corruption of the legal system to harass an enemy of the ruling party.

And it's a sign of what's to come for all of us if the Marxist Democrats aren't stopped.

FYI and for reference:

As reported earlier – Here’s what you need to know about E. Jean Carroll. Most of this information was deemed “inadmissible” by the judge per John LeFevre:

She couldn’t recall the date, month, season, or year the incident happened

She never told anyone about it, despite being publicly obsessed with her own sexuality

The dress she claims to have been wearing didn’t exist at the time Her description of the dressing room at Bergdorf Goodman was inaccurate, making her sequence of events impossible

Her lawsuit was bankrolled by Jeffrey Epstein pal and Democrat (and Nikki Haley) mega-donor Reid Hoffman

Democrats created a law (The Adult Survivors Act in 2022) to enable her lawsuit to proceed

Her accusation is the exact plotline of an episode of Law & Order (one of her “favorite shows”)

Trump’s Apprentice was also one of her favorite shows She has a history of falsely accusing men of rape, including Les Moonves

She told Anderson Cooper, “most people think of rape as being sexy. Think of the fantasies.”

She made a career promoting promiscuity, even writing glowingly of sexual assault and naming her cat Vagina

Carroll couldn’t offer a specific date. Trump’s entire past must be memorialized in annual calendars that support his extensive tax declarations. Where he was, when, would be important to a person operating a worldwide hospitality business. So any date Carroll would have specified would likely have been immediately destroyed with the production of a calendar event that put him elsewhere on the date of the alleged assault.

An excellent reason to forget. How many times have you heard government officials testify “I don’t recall”

Thank you.

I have even been challenged on social media about her bill (Adult Surviors Act) even existing as “another Trumpers lie”

She was just a liar before...now she’s a liar and a thief.

A simple test to apply to the E Jean case is: If the case was filed in a red state what would have been the outcome? It would never have made it to trial.

Tom Wolf wrote about the corruption of the NY judicial system years ago in The Bonfire of the Vanities. Trump is the Tom Hanks character in this Kafkaesque nightmare. I hope Trump gets a new trial, a change of venue and E Jean gets nothing.

If this is the case, it should be thrown out on this merit alone.

America’s so-called “justice” system is a joke run by a bunch of far-left clowns and chimps.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

But then another strange thing happened. In 2022, a new law (“The Adult Survivors Act”) was passed in the New York legislature. It also post facto established a twelve-month window (beginning six months from the signing of bill) that permitted survivors of long ago alleged sexual assaults suddenly to sue the accused long-ago perpetrator—regardless of the previous statute of limitations.

That unexpected opening suddenly gave Carroll’s prior unsuccessful efforts a rebirth. And she quickly refiled with the help of arch-Trump hating billionaire Hoffman.

Excellent review of recent NY history by Prof Hanson!

When this is all said and done, that dirty skank will be living with her cats in poverty and owing Donald Trump millions.

My bet is the the $83 million is shared with the jurors.

The NYers DESPISE DJT.

Lowlife leftists who have used our sacred court system to destroy a man they envy.

May their lives in this shith0le stated continue to deteriorate and take them all to hell.

The jurors and court officials should be held to account for this criminal injustice.

AND...Carroll told her too best friends. They agreed with her original date as to year...but no recollection of month or date.

BUT....seems the dress Carroll alluded to as what she was wearing that day...was first made AFTER the year THEY said it happened....So all three liars had to change their testimony.

Everyone is saying, ‘Trump has too much controversy around him. We need someone without so much drama surrounding him.’
‘He’s too rich’
‘He’s too crass’
‘He’s too crude’
Always something....

Some journalists were making a point about how Trump didn’t put up a defense at the first trial. He didn’t attend or bring in any witnesses for example. Ask yourself how anyone could possibly defend against a rape charge where the date of the rape wasn’t even given, not even down to the year. It’s impossible.

The other point of this trial that irks me is the way New York intentionally created a one year exception to the statute of limitations so that Trump could be sued. There is a very good reason why we have statute of limitations, because memories fade and evidence disappears. Victims have an obligation to bring charges forward in a timely manner.

This trial was clearly lawfare!
