Exclusive: Justice Department launches a criminal investigation into Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll

[DGS49]

The rape-in-the-fitting room accusation was absurd from the get-go. It could never have happened as described, and ONLY IN MANHATTAN would it have not been tossed out before ever going to trial.

I say ….Bring it on

But to maintain impartiality, the Justice Dept needs to investigate false claims Trump made during that trial.
Things like he never knew E Jean Carrol

For most people, that claim would be doubted by a jury.
But when the person in question openly claims he likes to “grab women by the “p*ssy” the jury will believe it happened.

Two things about what trump is doing.

1. It lawfare, as expertly explained by Lisa Rubin at this link, who details why the suit is horseshit. All In with Chris Hayes

2. The focus of the lawfare is on the money, as explained here.

Presidential immunity is coming back to SCOTUS in Trump’s E. Jean Carroll appeal​

Donald Trump has had a Supreme Court petition pending for months in one of the defamation cases he lost against writer E. Jean Carroll. He’s about to file another one — and it’s going to involve presidential immunity.

The court doesn’t have to review either claim. But even if the justices deny review, Carroll won’t be able to collect on the millions of dollars in damages she won until then.

Of course, if the justices agree to review either or both of Trump’s appeals, then that will raise the question of whether the damages stand, a question that wouldn’t be answered until the justices rule in that hypothetical scenario. It takes four justices to grant review of a petition.

The high court isn’t on a deadline to decide whether to take up either appeal. But here is where they both stand.

Presidential immunity is coming back to SCOTUS in Trump’s E. Jean Carroll appeal

The president already has a Supreme Court petition pending in one of his E. Jean Carroll cases. He’s about to have another one.

Federal prosecution for perjury occurs under 18 USC 1621 or 1623.

The Department of Justice is a Federal Agency charged with enforcing Federal law.

The claimed subject of the investigation is Carroll not disclosing non-profit support for the case in a state level deposition in a state level civil defamation suit.

Question:
Does the DOJ even have jurisdiction to investigate and prosecute state level perjury claims in a non-federal case?

As an addendum to the above...

The funding issue was raised on appeal of the civil suit decision to the 2nd Circuit Court and the Appeals court already ruled on and upheald the trial Judges decision on the funding matter.

So now not only is there the jurisdictional question of the Federal Agency investigating a statement made in a State level civil suit, you have the 2nd Circuit Court rejecting an appeal on the same subject.

You're a liar, and I am pretty sure you know you're a liar. You might be that stupid, but you're probably not.

There is no need to refute what you said, the whole world saw the video, we know what happened.

At least we can agree we have never seen anything like this in our lifetimes.

Nah, the liars have always been you clods.

 

[Lesh]

Time for some good old fashioned REVENGE on Democrat scumbags!

That’ll play well in court

 

[SeaMajor7]

And here come the pathetic posse of subverted demoralized Marxist ZOMBIES defending their SOVIET LAWFARE BULLSHIT.
What a bunch of lowlife LOSERS.
F. U. ALL.

Hey Carroll, have fun with "the process".

The jury will believe it happened even if they don`t know about the 34 felony convictions.

Hey Carroll, have fun with "the process".

Not a problem.

#1 She's worth about $7 Million.

#2 She's going to receive $88.3 Million once Trump's appeal is exhausted (he's already lost at the 2nd Circuit).

#3 She can get an award from the Trump Weaponization fund.

Hey Carroll, have fun with "the process".

Trumps investigation will be thrown out and the prosecutor will be criticized
They all are

What's crazy is seeing how the cult justifies such blatant lawfare, the financial rewarding of allies, and the political persecution of his alleged enemies.

Never before seen in anyones lifetime.

Nah, Putin wrote the book first. The Art of the Steal. They loooove Putie Pie.

 

[buckeye]

Why would Carroll lie about who funded her lawsuit? Should she be allowed to lie?

Belay that.

I forgot that the state civil case had proceedings held in federal court.

My bad.
