Let's hope it's all coming to bite Doofus on his arse....all the years of boasting, inflating his wealth by billions to inflate his ego and get loans, he's been doing this for decades even going as far as ringing Forbes Rich list pretending to be someone else to argue how rich his client Trump was...you couldn't make it up!
Karma

Darkandstormynite · 28/01/2024 07:58

Definitely karma!

I think having a long history of not paying his bills is going to hit him hard now. No one trusts him.

It will be interesting to see how many 'unencumbered' properties he actually has. Suspect they are all mortgaged to the hilt.

Time to see behind the curtain.

And all this is before Engoron sets the figure for the fraud trial penalty...

Interesting that Trump walked out of plaintiff closing argument so that he could post a few more defaming posts but he hasn't mentioned Carroll name since the verdict. He HAS quoted a "miscarriage of justice" article but he is just about toeing the line. For now...

Like all bullies, he's nowhere near as big or brave as he says.

It's as American an allegory as The Wizard of Oz ...

So on Wednesday, Trump’s campaign will have to report how much they have spent so far on legal fees?

Is this part of the settlement or is this to do with campaign funds and spending on legal fees?

I know there are strict regulations on how actual campaign donations are spent, but not sure how it works for 'legal funds' which are donated to separately.

I don't know, I am hoping someone on here would have more information as I can't find it.

Darkandstormynite · 29/01/2024 20:25

Just seen E. Jean Carroll on CNN with Robbie Kaplan.

Such a strong pair of inspirational women 💪Love the fact they're going to use the $83M to support women's rights.

Darkandstormynite · 29/01/2024 20:28

BTW, has anyone else noticed that the mood music on Fox is changing and its starting to be more critical of Trump?

Suspect they know which way the wind is now blowing and trying to position themselves for the post MAGA world.

I can't either. Sometimes google just doesn't work if you don't use the right combo of words.

This was the closest I could find but reporting isn't til 1 Apr.

Judge Engoron has confirmed that he will release his verdict tomorrow.
If only the DC Appeal court would do the same with Immunity decision

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 30/01/2024 10:19

I love E Jean Carroll for deciding to spend the majority of the money Trump will be compelled to give her on setting up homeless shelters and shelters for abused women as close to next door as can be managed to Trump's properties. Setting them up at all will be a perpetual annoyance to him even if they can't be next door. Good for her!

I know my knowledge is superficial but I am at a loss to understand why Imran Khan can be jailed for 10 years for 'leaking official secrets' yet Trumpy who has stolen classified documents and undoubtedly done the same repeatedly... is running for POTUS.

Months into his presidency Trumpy revealed state secrets to Russian officials in the Oval office, causing huge problems with the CIA who had to remove one of their men because of this. He even tweeted classified photos of spy satellite pictures of Iran. At MarALardo dining area he disclosed classified information to anyone who would listen. He's revealed code word intel meaning huge security threats to the US. He tells anyone where US submarines are. And more

It's beyond me, I can't get my head round it all.

DuncinToffee · 30/01/2024 13:09

I guess the other conspiracy theorist were too busy with Taylor Swift Grin

SerendipityJane · 30/01/2024 15:05

There was a lot of reporting a while back that the GOP vote was probably going to be depressed because a lot of MAGA types - never known for their affinity for effort - had swallowed the idea that the system was rigged and decided there was no point in voting if what Trump said was true.

One can't help but remember what happened to the man who proved black was white.

Has anyone seen that Alina Habba is now accusing Judge Kaplan of having a prior relationship with Robbie Kaplan, which she is claiming is why she wasn't treated fairly. She's demanding the judge explain himself!

Is she trying to get sanctioned again and debarred??

BruceAndNosh · 30/01/2024 19:06

One of Carroll's lawyers, on Habba...
Crowley said: "I think that she had a hard job and you could definitely see a difference between her sort of style when [Trump] was in the court room."
She added: "She was much more disciplined and frankly acted more like a lawyer when he wasn't there. When he was, you could hear him telling her when to object and muttering things and loudly being frustrated with her"

I guess it's just the difference in the US and Pakistani judicial systems. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Maybe we can get a change of venue for the myriad Trump trials to Rawalpindi?

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-50-million-donor-money-legal-bills-2023-1234956948/

Trump's PACs spent a staggering $50 million on the former president’s legal defense in 2023,

According to two sources who spoke to the Times, the former president’s massive legal bills were paid out through funds from the Save America PAC and the Make America Great Again PAC, his two primary political action committees. The full details of the PAC spending will be made available Wednesday, the deadline for Federal Election Commission year-end campaign filings.
