An attorney for E. Jean Carroll said the lesson from the recent trial with former President Trump was that “lies are gonna catch up to you someday.”

“I believe very strongly after today, that the lesson is that actually, no one’s above the law,” Shawn Crowley said in an interview on MSNBC Friday. “And that your behavior, and your statements, and your threats and your lies are gonna catch up to you someday.”

A jury ordered Trump to pay $83.3 million Friday for defaming Carroll in 2019, when he denied that he sexually assaulted her. The former president said he will appeal the verdict shortly after it was issued.

    If I didn’t see him as a real and present danger to US stability, I would agree with you. Hell if he was simply just a poor leader I would agree with you. But in this case he is doing real damage to US politics and trust in the system. And this comes from a fairly right leaning person.

      Well, that’s a whole other thing.

      Imagine if he died at all, let alone in a public spectacular way, half the country would be absolutely convinced that he had been assassinated.

      The best way to get rid of him is for the legal stuff to reach the conclusion that he’s a criminal, then have him lose the election in a spectacular defeat.
