DOJ no longer believes Trump should have immunity from E. Jean Carroll defamation lawsuit

[Social Media]

 

The Justice Department has reversed course and said it no longer believes that Donald Trump should be entitled to immunity for his response to E. Jean Carroll’s accusation of sexual assault, allowing the civil lawsuit to move forward to trial in January.

The change in position eliminates one legal hurdle surrounding Carroll’s 2019 defamation lawsuit against Trump for statements he made while president, denying her allegation of rape decades earlier, that he didn’t know her, and that she wasn’t his “type.”

DOJ lawyers said in a letter to lawyers for Trump and Carroll that “the Department has determined that it lacks adequate evidence” to conclude the former president was acting within the scope of his employment or serving the US government “when he denied sexually assaulting Ms. Carroll and made the other statements regarding Ms. Carroll that she has challenged in this action.”

They're working on it. The wheels of justice go very slow, and in my heart of hearts I believe Merrick Garland was slow rolling any indictments for political reasons, hoping any proceedings would just go away by themselves. Then the Jan 6 commission got busy, went public, and DOJ couldn't hide their head in the sand any more. The delays may still have bad repercussions.

 

I hope both I and that twice impeached twice indicted train wreck live long enough to him get his just desserts.

She is a has been.  A popular journalist in her young days that has in recent years become an overt feminist with failed literary productions, multiple failed relationships and multiple sexual assault claims that took place in closets, elevators and dressing rooms.  Trump is not the only one that she has threatened for financial gain.

Previous history shows that she has lived a fanatic life of feminism.  

 

In 2002, Carroll co-founded greatboyfriends.com with her sister, Cande Carroll. On the site, women recommended their ex-boyfriends to each other.  In 2004, she launched Catch27.com.  On the site, people put their profiles on trading cards and bought, sold, and traded each other.

 

Trump may not be an alter boy, but still deserves proof and not peer pressure opinion to be convicted by a manipulated jury.  I.E. criminal vs civil court case. “Proof with no doubt, or conceptual  with no proof.

Just another day and another left wing media anti Trump story - Where in god's name are the anti Biden stories ? So one sided as to make the media pointless these days - may as well be CNN news or Yahoo !

 

If Trump has done wrong then lock him up, but the Biden's are just as bad and nada !

Be advised it tends to be "blue pill" friendly here.

 

Yeah, the lack of critical thinking bothers me too.

Where is the evidence that President Biden is guilty of any crimes.

 

Remember, "Comer says" nonsense doesn't count as evidence.  Neither does right-wing speculation.

Why would he?  He's nothing special.

They’re working on it. In Georgia, two grand juries (not one, but two) are being impaneled and they’re going to decide within a month if DT is going to be indicted. The ‘witch hunt’ continues. I sure hope the witch will be locked up for the rest of his life.

From the above:

 

Separate from his motion for a new trial, Trump is also contesting the verdict before a federal appeals court. That appeal remains pending.
