Barr to the rescue! Trump uses the DOJ to defend himself in rape defamation case.

[JLW]

This is truly unprecedented.

The Justice Department moved on Tuesday to replace President Trump’s private legal team with government lawyers to defend him against a defamation lawsuit by the author E. Jean Carroll, who has accused him of raping her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s.

Though the law gives employees of the federal government immunity from most defamation lawsuits, legal experts said it has rarely, if ever, been used before to protect a president, especially for actions taken before he entered office.

“The question is,” said Steve Vladeck, a University of Texas law professor, “is it really within the scope of the law for government lawyers to defend someone accused of lying about a rape when he wasn’t even president yet?”

The motion also effectively protects Mr. Trump from any embarrassing disclosures in the middle of his campaign for re-election..

....Ms. Carroll’s lawyer said in a statement issued Tuesday evening that the Justice Department’s move to intervene in the case was a “shocking” attempt to bring the resources of the United States government to bear on a private legal matter.

Government lawyers made the unusual move of seeking to take over President Trump’s defense in a suit brought by Ms. Carroll, who has accused Mr. Trump of raping her in the 1990s.

**************************

This just shows how Trump is using the powers of the presidency for personal use. The DOJ now is truly Trump’s private law firm. Incredible. I mean here is the DOJ being blatantly used for political purposes. It is just another sign that the presidency under Trump is looking more and more Putinesque.

Ironically Trump’s action lend credibility to the lawsuit as he is doing everything in his power to cover up the rape and suppress evidence.

Because we have a brain, where you do not. Carroll, trying to sell her memoirs, claims that she didn't know Trump but Trump asked her to try on clothes in a store DECADES AGO and she did which is CRAZY unbelieveable. Then she claims while she was changing in the dressingroom that Trump went in and raped her OLD ass and no one in the store did anything to stop it. And of course, she didn't call the police and report her rape. She be lying like all the other dem operatives that just appeared like cockroaches when Trump announced he was running and they set about trying to smear him to help out their party. Trump has a type----and I am sorry none of these dem women fit that type or even close to it...

I'm a woman who escaped a couple of rape attempts years ago---I don't appreciate dem women lying about these obvious made up attacks for political gain---it makes all woman look untrustworthy with such claims and puts all women in far more danger.

She's not even as convincing as the drunk they used against Kavanaugh.

Kinda funny she waited 20 years to pursue the case. Just makes it look like what it is. Some harpy looking for her 15 minutes of fame.

If it was rape then she should have reported it 20 years ago. Anyone who believes this story is dumber than a box of rocks.

This is truly unprecedented.

The Justice Department moved on Tuesday to replace President Trump’s private legal team with government lawyers to defend him against a defamation lawsuit by the author E. Jean Carroll, who has accused him of raping her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s.

Though the law gives employees of the federal government immunity from most defamation lawsuits, legal experts said it has rarely, if ever, been used before to protect a president, especially for actions taken before he entered office.

“The question is,” said Steve Vladeck, a University of Texas law professor, “is it really within the scope of the law for government lawyers to defend someone accused of lying about a rape when he wasn’t even president yet?”

The motion also effectively protects Mr. Trump from any embarrassing disclosures in the middle of his campaign for re-election..

....Ms. Carroll’s lawyer said in a statement issued Tuesday evening that the Justice Department’s move to intervene in the case was a “shocking” attempt to bring the resources of the United States government to bear on a private legal matter.

Government lawyers made the unusual move of seeking to take over President Trump’s defense in a suit brought by Ms. Carroll, who has accused Mr. Trump of raping her in the 1990s.

This just shows how Trump is using the powers of the presidency for personal use. The DOJ now is truly Trump’s private law firm. Incredible. I mean here is the DOJ being blatantly used for political purposes. It is just another sign that the presidency under Trump is looking more Putinesque than Jeffersonian.

Ironically Trump’s action lend credibility to the lawsuit as he is doing everything in his power to cover up the rape and suppress evidence.

What rape?

This woman is a fake.
She's not even as convincing as the drunk they used against Kavanaugh.

Funny how Trump loving assholes call a renowned professor a drunk in a case involving a guy who was a sloppy drunk while in college.

Funny how all these women accusing Trump are fake.

But why are taxpayers covering his legal fees when there is nothing here that involves his office>

Why do you assdsfucks think this is OK?

The metoo movement gave courage to a lot of women to speak up.

curious to the demofks in here, do you really think this damages Trump? I mean, are you all really that uninformed?

it makes you look like sheeple.

Obviously not his supporters. They don't care how many laws Trump & his bsnd of crooks break.

Women are afraid to yell rape because of assfucks like you who blame them.
