  1. This is a screenshot current WrLife application form https://www.wrlife.net/documents/WRLIFE APPLICATION FORM ENGLISH.pdf
  2. As long as they did it in English, no problem.
  3. Well I am no Trump apologist but i still think that one or more jurors may say that there is no tangible evidence that this thing ever occurred. That neither Ms. Carroll, nor even 2 of her witnesses, can give an exact date that this occurred only a 6-8 month window, based on what clothes she remembers wearing, is not sufficient to hold Trump liable for such a loosely defined circumstance.
  4. Well not before OCT 1 by which time indictments may have already been issued. The new commission will convene by July 1 and put forth rules and regulations no later than October 1. Under the law, the commission will not be able to receive complaints before October 1 and will not be able to receive complaints about misconduct that happened before that date unless it is related to “a continuous pattern of conduct that continues beyond that date. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/05/05/politics/georgia-elections-oversight-commission-kemp-willis/index.html
  5. Addendum to the above from Tacopina's opening statement: Carroll “did not produce any objective evidence to back up her claim because it didn’t happen,” the attorney said. Carroll, a columnist known to keep a diary, did not document the account in her personal diary, Tacopina added. https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/25/politics/carroll-trump-trial-day-one/index.html
  6. With apologies to Elizabeth Barrett Browning: How can we deny thy claim? Let us count the ways.
  7. And on the notion of 'forgetting': In her original complaint it states (at 9.) Ms. Carroll is a journalist. Witness Lisa Birnbach was a journalist Witness Carol Martin was a TV journalist. And yet, at the time of the alleged offense, not one of the 3 journalists made contemporaneous written notes of the exact date of the alleged incident or when Ms. Carroll told the 2 witnesses about the incident. All 3 can remember minutia of the incident or the phone calls or other conversations -- just not the the dates involved. The complaint itself as per the exact time of the event only states: 18. One evening between the fall of 1995 and the spring of 1996 ... Reminds of "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ..."
  8. Yes and you can read on page 12 of Judge Kaplan's order that Trump's attorneys refused and would adamantly oppose any motion to compel.
  9. Also from the above NYTimes report: And even if Mr. Trump provided DNA, Judge Kaplan said in his ruling, it might not matter for the trial. “It is possible that the results of further DNA analysis using Mr. Trump’s DNA sample would be entirely inconclusive,” he wrote.
  10. So Trump did not voluntarily give a DNA sample. The Judge said Ms. Carroll's attorneys could have compelled him to do so but did not.
  11. This is the Judges ruling on page 4. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045.56.0.pdf Also note that DNA sample, as referenced in the ruling, on dress in question is not a sperm sample.
  12. What I said specifically is that Trump was being denied the right to offer an alibi defense as no specific date for the alleged event has ever been offered. The original complaint as filed with the Court only states that: One evening between the fall of 1995 and the spring of 1996 ...
  13. Trump to cut Ireland trip short and return to New York to ‘confront’ E Jean Carroll (one hour ago) Donald Trump has claimed he is cutting short his trip to Ireland to “confront” E Jean Carroll after his defence team suffered a series of setbacks at his civil rape and defamation trial in New York. Speaking to reporters while golfing at his Doonbeg resort on Thursday, Mr Trump said he would “probably attend” the trial, which is hearing its final day of evidence before closing arguments next week. “I was falsely accused by this woman, I have no idea who she is – it’s ridiculous,” he said. “I’ll be going back early because a woman made a claim that is totally false, it’s fake.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/trump-ireland-carroll-rape-trial-b2332491.html
  14. All the above may be true but now a civil complaint has been filed in Federal Court involving one specific incident wherein the original complaint states: FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS I. TRUMP RAPES CARROLL AT BERGDORF GOODMAN 18. One evening between the fall of 1995 and the spring of 1996, Carroll left work and went to Bergdorf Goodman, the luxury department store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. And the Carroll legal team obviously feels that, regarding the actual time of the alleged one specific incident, they need to be no more specific than the above..
  15. At home in Aberdeen perhaps????? So Mr. Trump, being denied the opportunity if not the right to offer an alibi defense by no exact date of the alleged offense being giving, is OK by some of the Members on here?
  16. So nobody can say: You didn't give us enough time to make proper security arrangements. from the letter linked above from DA Willis to the Fulton County Sheriff: As leaders, it is incumbent upon us to prepare.
  17. From the letter linked above: (DA Willis) will be announcing charging decisions resulting from this investigation during Fulton County Superior Court’s fourth term of court, which will begin on July 11, 2023, and conclude on September 1, 2023.
  18. Also from Business Insider 04MAY2023 Trump won't call any witnesses to defend him in E. Jean Carroll rape trial, his lawyer says "There are no witnesses to call to prove a negative. Other than saying I didn't do it, which he said he is being sued for, he has denied it. There is nothing else he could say," Tacopina said in his opening statement last week. "He wasn't there. He didn't do it." https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-trial-no-witnesses-testify-defense-rape-e-jean-carroll-2023-5
  19. Earlier Wednesday, Tacopina told Judge Lewis Kaplan that Trump will not mount a defense in the case. Tacopina told the judge that he had decided not to call an expert witness that had been expected to testify for the defense. "We're not going to move forward," Tacopina said. https://abcnews.go.com/US/psychologist-testifies-trump-rape-accuser-jean-carroll-elements/story?id=99041556 For one thing, she says she does not remember the exact date of the encounter. ... But without a specific date, Tacopina told the jurors in his opening statement on Tuesday, it is impossible for Trump to prove his innocence. “She doesn’t want to give Donald Trump the opportunity to provide an alibi,” he said. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2023/04/trump-rape-lawsuit-e-jean-carroll-joe-tacopina.html
  20. This is the actual letter referenced in OP dated 24 APR 2023: https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/23787480/letter-from-willis-to-law-enforcement-on-trump-grand-jury.pdf
  21. Appeals The losing party in a decision by a trial court in the federal courts normally is entitled to appeal the decision to a federal court of appeals. Civil Case Either side may appeal the verdict. https://www.uscourts.gov/about-federal-courts/types-cases/appeals
  22. A close friend of E Jean Carroll has told a New York jury that she received a distressed call from the advice columnist within minutes of Donald Trump allegedly raping her. Lisa Birnbach testified at Carroll’s civil action against the former president on Tuesday that she was feeding her children at home when Carroll called “breathless, hyperventilating, emotional” in the spring of 1996. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/may/02/trump-rape-trial-lisa-birnbach-testimony Also: On the same day as testimony from Lisa Birnbach, who described a 1996 phone conversation with Carroll after the alleged incident, Trump lawyer Joe Tacopina told U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Kaplan that his client would not be testifying at the trial. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/friend-testifies-e-jean-carroll-called-minutes-alleged-trump-attack-rcna82437 So it seems no lawyer on either side will be asking Mr. Trump if he were to testify in person at the trial: So Mr. Trump, where were YOU in the spring of 1996?
  23. This is from the actual complaint filed in Federal Court 11/24/22 by Ms. Carroll's attorneys: FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS I. TRUMP RAPES CARROLL AT BERGDORF GOODMAN 18. One evening between the fall of 1995 and the spring of 1996, Carroll left work and went to Bergdorf Goodman, the luxury department store on Fifth Avenue in New York City. She was and remains a regular shopper at Bergdorf’s. It also states in the complaint: 9. Carroll is a journalist. So, as a journalist, no contemporaneous notes from such an event? https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045/gov.uscourts.nysd.590045.1.0_1.pdf
  24. From Ms. Carroll's attorney's opening statement: In her opening statement, Carroll attorney Shawn Crowley suggested the lack of specificity doesn’t matter. “While Ms. Carroll doesn’t remember exactly when this happened, she remembers almost every detail of what happened, and her testimony alone will be enough for you to find Donald Trump liable in this case,” Crowley said. In later response to a Trump's attorney query: “This question, the when, the when, the date, has been something I’ve constantly trying to pin down,” Carroll said. https://955wtvy.com/national/2023-04-26-e-jean-carroll-testifying-in-civil-case-says-she-cant-recall-date-of-alleged-trump-attack/
  25. Saudi Arabia's crown prince once bragged Jared Kushner was 'in his pocket'. It's getting harder to convince people otherwise. Feb 17, 2023 The vast payment to Kushner's company certainly has the appearance of a reward, John Pelissero, an expert on government ethics at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University, told Insider. "Whereas it is not clear if Kushner was trading on his former government position and contacts to obtain a financial benefit from a sovereign wealth fund to help launch his new company, reasonable people may believe that is what took place," he said. https://www.businessinsider.com/jared-kushner-cozy-relationship-saudi-arabia-mbs-crown-prince-concerns-2023-2
