In what universe does it makes sense for the WALL STREET Journal to print "The Epstein Letter"?

[EvilCat Breath]

Trump is the one suing. He has to prove what WSJ said was untrue. Kind of tough, when he’s already lied about doing drawings.

Truth is a defense. If the allegation is that the card does not exist. Trump will not be required to prove the card does not exist.

Trump isn’t the defense. To succeed he has to prove the card is a fake.

To prove the card is a fake, the card will have to be produced. There is no such thing as requiring Trump to prove a non existent object is non existent.

The WSJ would hardly have published without verifying it, but that means depositions and, IMO, another TACO event.

I would like to believe that the WSJ would not have published anything without verifying it. But, these specific journalists have done it before.

Yeah. This seems pretty deliberate. They knew he'd sue. So they must have something up their sleeve.

Or, they're just idiots.

Trump can bring that up in court, but a Townhall article isn’t evidence.

It's what these journalists are capable of.

They just wanted to bring the charge knowing democrats would believe it.

What good does that do? Democrats already believe he's unfit for office.

Who knows? Why resurrect a fake story about raping a 13 year old girl. Democrats keep making up story after story. Possibly hoping Republicans will change. Degenerate democrats have to say something to be relevant. They have no policies they are proud of.

I can't speak to your fixation on the "evil" of Democrats. But I think WSJ has some reason they want Trump in court. Well see.

Likely relying on an activist judge.

We'll see. I'm sure your dear leader will have some excuse lined up for you.

They also knew that TACO is almost a certainty. Does anyone seriously think Trump will sit for a deposition?

Will the journalists sit as well? Will they produce the card for a forensic analysis?

Of course they will and do whatever the court orders. Will Trump?

I hope not, these activist judges need a good kick.

Bad judges need to be replaced.

Because it's a news story and they got it first.

That's why it makes sense.

Let's assume for the sake of argument the letter is legit.

The President of the United States had a close relationship with a man known to be a serial abuser of women, and condoned the behavior.

That is news.

No. It’s really not even if the “letter” is legit.
