They already found him guilty in the 2022 defamation case. The 2019 case is for the same thing (at a different time, he did it more than once) so the judgement effectively covers both cases. He’s already been found guilty, now it’s just time to determine damages. Again.
And if he keeps repeating the same lies, they’ll keep charging him. Now it’s just a game of “will he stfu or go broke first?” My chips are on “broke”.
Not a Trump hater, nor a fan of most of the prosecutions against him, but we all should have seen this coming, given both his notorious sexual past alongside the earlier ruling that sided with E. Jean Carroll regarding this matter:
Not parent commentor, but I hate to see prosecutions feed the news cycle for visibility and outrage. Plus, it fires up the base. Def a dual edged sword.
I was the only one in my subway car with a mask on this morning. It’s going to spread like wild fire again. Hopefully there will be less hospitalizations.
His lawyers are almost undoubtedly requiring retainer fees to cover everything. There’s no way they’d be stupid enough to work on contingency or expect to collect payment after the fact.

At another point in her Sept. 5 brief, Willis explained “Impersonating certified presidential electors in service to a political campaign cannot be seriously within the scope of any federal role.”
In short, he claimed he was acting as a federal officer, but the courts pointed out that pretending to be a federal officer does not actually make you one.
So uh, how do we host a website on the dark net again? If the US is going to go full on China about technology, then it’s time to get even further away from using mainstream tech…
