Trump was found responsible for sexual assault. Only because New York State has a very narrow definition of rape. It’s only that definition that keeps him from being called a rapist. As ABC found out.
@DocSavage The ONLY thing ABC left out of what they said is that Trump was found guilty of rape................ "per New York State statutes".
Since other states define rape differently......on a technicality........trump won a decision. But by NY State stantands....which ABC did not say verbatim.......... he raped her.
@DocSavage The jury does a better job. ;-) They just ALWAYS...in EVERY trial he has EVER had.....agree mutually...100%.....that he's guilty. But thanks for the idea. ;-)
In NO case he's been tried for has he been found innocent.
That whole situation needs to be looked at again especially with a focus on and to the character of E. Jean Carrol and what actually happened and her somewhat bizzare history and background.
@SirLirkALot Actually I do. No one is found guilty of freedom of speech. Only when they use that freedom to abuse or cause Harm to someone else. Like Guiliani,,,,and trump does. Then hell yeah.
@anythingoes477 defamation is a form of speech. the rulings shouldn't be disproportionate IMHO. but punishing Trump with fines isn't going to work against a billionaire
@SirLirkALot Depends on the harm that "form of speech" causes. A jury decided that trump caused $89 million dollars worth of harm. And a jury thought Guiliani caused $147 million dollars worth of harm. In both cases what they said drew death threats to the people they were defaming.
