NY – Ex POTUS Donald Trump, sued by E. Jean Carroll for defamation, Trial 15 Jan 2024

In my opinion, four or five years from now this will all be forgotten and there will be no more cases against President Trump.

I will never, ever forget.

I think that the unjust lawfare waged against President Trump has been totally exposed and there will not be any more of these cases in the future because of that.

With this being his last term the motivation for these case's has disappeared. JMO.

No one is above the law, IMO, no matter what the Supreme Court says. The crimes committed by this perp are well-documented and IMO, proven. The fact that he got away with them for so long speaks to his privilege, not to his innocence. I hope that they try him for every single one of his crimes, just like every other criminal. Justice is justice.

ABC News will pay $15 million to a “presidential foundation and museum” in a settlement reached with President-elect Donald Trump in his defamation suit against the network and anchor George Stephanopoulos.

“We are pleased that the parties have reached an agreement to dismiss the lawsuit on the terms in the court filing,” an ABC News spokesperson wrote in a statement.

I think this is a wise move by ABC. They understand that being dishonest is not a good look for them and they want to put this case behind them. JMO.

President Trump lost this case.

President Trump lost this case.

I know. But there are other crimes he hasn't yet been held accountable for, so I think there's more coming. MOO.

Disney owns ABC.

The Independent says that while legal and media analysts are unhappy that ABC settled, it is thought that they likely settled due to wanting to avoid pre-trial evidence (messages, emails) being leaked - like they were in the Dominion lawsuit.


“Settling seals the case and lets ABC (and parent company Disney) move on,” Stelter said.

Media analysts have suggested that a payout pre-empted potentially embarassing emails and messages that would have been leaked out during the pre-trial evidence process.

He referenced the pre-trial discovery process in Dominion Voting Systems’s lawsuit against Fox News, which revealed damning messages among top Fox personalities and leadership as the network amplified bogus conspiracy theories surrounding the 2020 presidential election.

Looks like ABC News didn't want to face the same negative fallout that Fox News suffered. JMO.

I think Trump should sue the federal judge for libel and defamation of character. The jury ruled. Trump did not commit rape under existing law. Hard fact.

It is outrageous defamation for the trial judge to come out and disagree with the jury, appear to overrule them, attempt to qualify a verdict as it was delivered, and blurt out a falsehood to gaslight the media sharks who continually circle. That’s libel.

Who is the judge to determine what most people’s definition of rape is? He doesn’t know any “most people”. He is an elite. I bet he thought most people would vote for Harris too. Sounds like he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer. So… complete gaslighting.

The judge doesn’t make the law. The House and Senate do. He doesn’t get to pronounce after the trial is over what he thinks the law should be, and the verdict should be. He doesn’t get to declare an innocent person guilty. That is incredibly wrong in its face.

The Judge’s opinion on what the law should be carries no more weight than mine. Neither of us make the law. And he is supposed to be an impartial judge. Im sure the Trump team will use the boneheaded judges remarks in their appeals. Can we find just one judge up there who is not an egomaniac activist? One who will just do his/her job?

I would even continue the lawsuit against the Judge even if both cases are tossed out on appeal (which I’m sure they will be).

I thought the 15 million GS settlement was WAY too low, but I think the Trump suit against CBS seeking 2B is probably a little too high, - though they did use deception to attempt to sway an election. I have no doubt that was a greater attempt to sway sn election than JAn 6 ever was. Can’t wait for all of them to be pardoned, not that Biden has set the tone

I think the bogus ATL charges are dead (or close), the Jack Smith unconstitutional lawfare cases has been dropped. I think even Bragg’s congered up case is about to be dropped. And nobody is going to agree that its constitutionally ok for a president to be facing a trial (that started over a year earlier) when he leaves office, so Letitia’s is toast too.

Hopefully that’ll clear the lawfare and vexatious litigation slates, and give a new impartial DOJ more time to focus on Mayorkas, Wray, and a few others who I think may have committed treason against the US.

All Jmo
