Who’s gone to trial?
E Jean Carroll.
Who’s done it TWICE?
E Jean Carroll.
Who’s won TWICE?
E Jean Carroll.
All the other cases against Donald Trump are important, even critical, definitely critical, but it’s very important to recognize what E Jean Carroll and her lawyers have done.
They didn’t go, “Oh, gee, what will Trump do if we do this?”
They didn’t go, “Maybe people will get mad and get all violent and stuff if we do this.”
They didn’t go, “Would it be better if we just gave a little bit in order to settle?”
No, E Jean Carroll and her lawyers just knew that she’d been raped and then defamed. Yeah, sure, it was by a guy who was president of the US, but so the fuck what? It was wrong, so they sought damages. A jury agreed, twice.
$88 million and counting.
I’m pulling, of course, for all the other cases, but what E Jean Carroll and her lawyers have done is way more impressive to me than the plodding, plodding, plodding other stuff.
