Donald Trump dared a federal judge to hold him in contempt of court by having screenshots of his sex abuse victim E. Jean Carroll's smutty jokes on Twitter posted to his social media account as he sat in the courtroom.

....................

...............

As he sat without a phone in a federal courtroom for the start of a second trial in the case Tuesday, a series of posts about the writer went up on his Truth Social account.

In the first trial, which covered comments Trump made about Carroll after leaving the White House, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan warned Trump's attorneys that social media posts about the case or his accuser could expose him to "a new source of potential liability."

Kaplan has already ruled that this trial, which covers defamatory statements Trump made as president, will not be a "do-over" of the first case, and he will not allow the ex-president to deny Carroll's allegations, discuss DNA evidence or mention her past romantic relationships.

Trump has now made 30 social media posts this morning about E. Jean Carroll before his trial began and while jury selection has been going on during the trial, where he is being sued for social media posts about E. Jean Carroll.

1. Count up his post 1st-trial smears. Multiply by $100,000. A new number to start with.

2. Judge Kaplan is taking exactly zero sh*t from Trump & his lawyers in the Carroll case............

5. Shouldn't whomever is doing the proxy-posting...

...be as liable as Trump?

[Beartracks]

26. A proxy -- or is there a way to "schedule" twitter posts in advance?

=================

6. Can they sue him again for defamation, or add these incidents to the current case?

Acting like you have immunity maybe not such a great idea if you don't have immunity.

[ShazzieB]

16. An astute observation!

Acting like you have immunity maybe not such a great idea if you don't have immunity.

Ya think?

7. Maybe THIS Judge will have the balls to

clomp down on the orange clown hard enough that his mama will feel it.

The prospective jury was awash in registered voters, and most of those in the courtroom voted in both the 2016 and 2020 elections. Yet few of them admitted to the kinds of strong views that would raise concerns among lawyers or even, despite being asked where they get their news, offered much detail.

NEW: A jury of 9 people has been selected for the E. Jean Carroll trial, and starting at 3:10, her team will present their opening. That doesn’t mean the morning was uneventful, however. 1/

Instead, many claimed to be “news agnostic,” that they get news “anywhere or everywhere” or consult both the WSJ & NYT for varied perspectives. It was like the jury version of Katie Couric asking which newspapers Sarah Palin read, and Palin said, “All of ‘em.”

No one said their political views, party affiliations, campaign donations, or volunteerism would prevent them from being fair to both sides. Only one person admitted they would have difficulty being fair given their awareness of Trump’s other legal cases and investigations.

But mostly, what stuck with me was the lack of excuses. In most cases, prospective jurors will come up with some reason, any reason that they should be excused, from caregiving responsibilities to financial hardship to admitted biases.

14. I don't have much faith in voir dire -- it weeds out honest people.

[Novara]

10. Today they selected a jury and will do the opening arguments.

Tomorrow the trial begins. I can't wait to see how this judge is going to handle the social media smear barrage. I'm pretty damn sure he isn't going to ignore it.

Don't forget, the facts of the case have already been established. This trial is to determine the amount of damages.

11. Shitting his pants and rage tweeting

Soaring to such heights of greatness...

12. Has he paid her any of the first five mill?

Why am I thinking that she’ll end up winning in court but won’t see a dime?

[TwilightZone]

15. He had to set aside more than $5 million to appeal the other case.

https://www.cnn.com/2023/06/23/politics/trump-e-jean-carroll-5-5-million/index.html

If and when all appeals are exhausted, she gets the money from a court-controlled trust.

[tavernier]

30. Thanks!

33. Innocent until proven broke.

[ificandream]

13. He's really walking a tight rope here. I hope it falls on him.

[ShazzieB]

18. Pride goeth before a fall.

[The Wizard]

17. He will not pay a dollar.

Judgements and liens will be put on his properties and he will declare bankruptcy. It's the way he rolls. When all else fails he threatens to unleash his Brownshirts. Deport him to Russia or lock up his fetid ass. We have had enough.

[Bayard]

22. My understanding,

Is that judgements cannot be dismissed in bankruptcy.

Is that right, lawyers?

[Barry Markson]

24. Most judgments can be discharged by bankruptcy

Most judgments can be discharged by bankruptcy, except for those that are based on fraud.

[Barry Markson]

23. He has something up his sleeve.

I doubt that any of the Trump Organization properties are personally in his name and if his home in Florida is it would be exempt like OJ's was when he was hit with a big wrongful death lawsuit.
I'm sure there are too many shell corporations to count.
That might be why he moved from New York.
I've always wondered about the reason for that move. It's starting to make sense.

[Evolve Dammit]

29. I truly wish that was an option. Truly

[jmowreader]

19. Oh my...

“Mr. Trump, we are here to decide whether you defamed E. Jean Carroll on social media. Uhh…what are you doing on your phone?”

“Defaming E. Jean Carroll on social media, Your Honor.”

“Son, you ain’t been bestowed with a lick of common sense, have you?”

[FailureToCommunicate]

20. Maybe I'm naive, but why don't they just sequester his phone AT LEAST while he's in court?

[Rebl2]

25. He didn't

have his phone in court. Probably one of his idiot sons making posts for him or some other idiot associate.

[ificandream]

21. According to reports I've seen, he wasn't able to take his cellphone into the courtroom.

Meaning that the posts were set up beforehand.

[FakeNoose]

27. Amen to this

I hope E. Jean Carroll gets a whopping payday, for all the horrible crap she's taken from him all these years.

[Emile]

28. Has he paid her anything to date?

[Eliot Rosewater]

32. IDK but I am willing to bet A. no and B. never will...somehow, dont ask me how, I think

he will never pay a dime to anyone and never go to jail.

Madness, of course. But that is what I can see happening.

OR he won't live long enough to see the payments made, after all the appeals he will be allowed. But I am not an attorney, can he appeal these judgements?

[Eliot Rosewater]

31. What his maga crew want to actually do to her is far worse than this...they want the same for all of

us. Not a good future regardless of election outcomes as long they are here.

[sakabatou]

34. Someone needs to take away his social media

He's like a damn child!

[democrank]

35. What a danger this POS is

One of his MOs……He WILL have his way.

Run, women, run……..

[usonian]

36. GIVE HIM THE DEBT PENALTY

Or just lock him the F up.

Lock him up in a McDonalds that's closed for the night. He can eat frozen beef patties.

And ketchup. Lots of ketchup.
