Do you mind or care if your money is spent to defend President Trump in court for a sexual misconduct lawsuit from 1990's?

DOJ seeks to defend Trump in suit by E. Jean Carroll, who has accused him of sexual assault
The Justice Department argued that under the Federal Tort Claims Act, its lawyers can usurp Trump's private legal team.

This is from a 1995 rape allegation from E. Jean Carroll who claims that Trump raped her.


This is the woman that Trump said "she's not my type"


Here is a pic of Ivana (Trump's first wife) and E. Jean Carroll in 1995. You tell me if she is not "his type"



Nonetheless, the OP is all about the government spending our money to defend Trump in a lawsuit that is personal about Trump and that has absolutely nothing to do with anything that happened during his presidency. Do you agree or disagree that this is the right thing to do?

Strategy, odds are the DOJ will get the suit crushed. Questionable move on the DOJ's part in a multitude of ways but it could work.
 

So, to re-cap, this person decided to file a law suit in 2019 with regard to a single event that might have happened within a time range of about 8 months bridging 1995 and 1996? 25 years later, she acts. RUKidding?

She alleges that she was in a changing room in a lingerie store which she entered at her own free will with an invited guest and now objects to whatever it was that may or may not have happened sometime over the 8 or so months she vaguely recalls.

With the greatest respect, MY WIFE has never invited me into a changing room in a lingerie store. Assuming the woman was not disrobed, the logistics of the "entry" seem outrageously difficult.

Regarding the "my type", comment, you seem to be saying that you believe a woman is only a piece of meat use and discard. Hint: Women have unique, intriguing and varied personalities.

Does this sound at all familiar? Anyone? Swetnick?

Damn, how lazy can one be? A quick search on the search engine of your choice would have informed you that the bolded is false.

The quick search revealed that the accusation was made in 2019.

E. Jean Carroll fired from ELLE magazine following Trump rape allegation

E. Jean Carroll, a veteran advice columnist at ELLE magazine who last year accused President Donald Trump of raping her in the mid-1990s, said she was fired from her editorial position at the end of 2019 after nearly 30 years because of Trump's public debasement of her character.

Not one penny of tax payer money should be spent on this, Trump's business, Trump's problem.
 
No, I don't agree at all.

And before the whataboutists jump in I think no federal dollars should be spent on any civil harassment suits brought against anyone employed by the federal government.
 

Not what the lawsuit is about. Please keep up.
 

The lawsuit is about the (alleged) defamation (calling her a liar) and was initiated during Trump's term as POTUS. This is not a criminal allegation of sexual assault (or rape) from many years ago - this is a civil action taken against the sitting POTUS.

Besides the fact that you don't have a clue of what this lawsuit is about, here's my answer: I don't care.

I don't care if Barr has determined that there is a legal justification for the DOJ to defend against this lawsuit.

I don't care if this woman is bringing this lawsuit.

What I DO care about is the TRILLIONS of dollars our Congressional politicians are spending. (Dollars that we DON'T have.)

The taxpayer money that might be spent on this lawsuit is an infinitesimal drop in that Congressional ocean.
 

You did not address the issue as to whether we (the American public) should have to pay for defending this lawsuit.
 

Barr is a fat corrupt piece of ****.

No, our tax dollars shouldn't be spent on this. Let the billionaire hire his own lawyer.
 

TDS is a horrible disease. It rots your brain.

We pay for all the rest of the defense costs from the pot maintained Congress.. What will these particular costs amount to as a percent of Federal Outlays?

What does my post have anything to do about TDS? The OP asks a question, it does not make a statement (TDS). The question is simple. The DOJ has taken over Trump's lawsuit and if the government loses, you and I will be helping to pay for his defense in a rape lawsuit against Trump. As it is, we are already paying for his defense.

The question is "Do you mind paying out of YOUR pocket for Trump's defense in a rape lawsuit, or not?"

You statement about TDS does not apply here. It is evident you feel the need to make a statement but you are paying for it.

So that means you don't mind us (the citizens of the United States) paying for the lawsuits that Trump generated against him. We personally should be involved in paying for them, right?

I feel for your suffering. Most that have TDS aren't aware of how much damage it can do to their brains. It's really very sad to watch.

Keep enjoying your failed attempts at humor or sarcasm. Bottom line is that it is costing you money out of your pocket. It does feel good that your accusations on me are expensive to YOU! It makes it worthwhile.

How is it costing money out of my pocket?

Since the DOJ took over Trump's lawsuit by E. Jean Carroll, we are paying for the Defense of Trump. In addition, since it is now a government lawsuit (not a personal lawsuit), if the lawsuit is lost you and me will be paying for the fine and everything associated with it.

Enjoy the economic pain.
 

Your TDS is getting in your way. Every president uses government money. You don't think Bill Clinton's impeachment and defense or other shananigans didn't cost me any money?

No, it didn't. Impeachment is a government thing. It is not a personal thing. Impeachment is about deciding whether a president should be president and it affects everyone. How does Trump raping that woman affect the government? How does it affect you? Should you be paying for it?

I often wonder about your ability to reason but this post made it clear. You have no ability and have no common sense.
