E. Jean Carroll v. Donald J. Trump and United States of America (poll added!)

Trump's appeal was heard today -

Trump attends arguments in appeal of $5 million judgment in E. Jean Carroll case

Former President Donald Trump attended arguments in a federal appeals court in New York on Friday as he seeks to erase a $5 million judgment finding him liable for sexually abusing and defaming the writer E. Jean Carroll.

He attended the hearing, which lasted all of 22 minutes, after forgoing a crucial hearing Thursday in his Washington, D.C., criminal case. Trump's decision to attend brought a spotlight to the case in which a jury concluded he likely committed sexual abuse, just as his presidential campaign enters the final sprint to the election.

The case is one of two in which unanimous federal juries awarded Carroll a total of more than $88 million.

Go to the article to see what the lawyers for each side were saying.

"I never met her," Trump says of E. Jean Carroll, before quickly saying her did meet her at an event but that it doesn't count.

Trump is now saying her story is made up, the precise kind of claim that was found to be defamatory.

Kudoes to MSNBC; they did not show any tape of fuckhead entering, leaving, or talking about the hearing. Not even a mention. Just chat about the hearing itself.

A very very nice switch not to see his orange mug on the teevee while the heads talk.

The photo? You mean the one where you thought she was one of your wives?

The CBS article says that no decision is expected before the election.
I wonder if Carroll will file another defamation case against him based on his press conference statements after the hearing.

I mean, the dude does it on camera. So, lawdy, there are tapes.

I liked the part of his press conference where he says he's disappointed in his legal team. While his legal team is standing right behind him.

MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Donald Trump’s disastrous press conference after his lawyers argued before the Court of Appeals.

Apparently his lawyers didn't baffle and BS well enough.

[Frater I*I]

Trump, with his lawyers flanking him, says "I'm disappointed in my legal talent, to be honest with you"

But I though Zee Orange Furher hired only the best....

ProTip dumbass: Maybe hire lawyers for their competency and legal knowledge, rather than their ability to kiss your ass and look pretty while they fake being smart...
