TRUMP THE RAPIST .... What to Expect in the E. Jean Carroll-Donald Trump Rape Trial

When Carroll’s legal team presents her case, the central part of the case will be her testimony that she was raped by Donald Trump in a dressing room in the lingerie section of Bergdorf Goodman.

A long-time reporter and television host, Carroll is used to public speaking and has repeated her account of the rape in numerous interviews over the last four years, in addition to her deposition in this case. Many people (not on the jury) have been persuaded that she is telling the truth.

But Carroll will be allowed to present more than her testimony that she was raped by Donald Trump.

Two witnesses (Carol Martin and Lisa Birnbach) will testify that Carroll told them of the rape shortly after it occurred, and that Carroll has had a consistent account of the rape for more than 25 years. Carol Martin may be particularly persuasive to jurors over the age of 50. She was the first African-American female local news anchor in New York, several daily WCBS newscasts from the 1970s until 1994. Ms. Birnbach also is famous for writing the bestsellers The Official Preppy Handbook and Lisa Birnbach’s College Book (which was required reading for NY-area college applicants).

Two other witnesses will testify that the former president sexually assaulted them: Jessica Leeds and Natasha Steynoff.

When you think about the evidence -- there's that dress which E. Jean Carroll has from the date of the rape with the semen stain on it -- if you are sitting on that jury you would have to ask yourself why it is that the Turd, if he was "innocent," didn't give a DNA sample to conclusively scientifically establish that he was "not" the rapist? A DNA sample would conclusively exonerate the Turd unless, of course, he really was the rapist. Believe me, somebody is going to be asking these same questions during deliberations in the jury room.

This seems to happen to any trial that could be damaging to Republicans.

People still in his cult simply will not believe it. He was on tape bragging about assaulting women and yet here we are. I do believe his base is shrinking but it’s not gone yet.

I hope he is found guilty. I’m sure he is. Twisted FUCK
