enough already. We the People need to fire the DOJ, F.B.I, and replace them with qualified patriots who love the US and her people.

He wants to go after her and threaten jail so she will ask the judge to overturn the payment to her.

He also wants all his other victims know he will throw them in jail if they report his crimes.

I hope she doesn't do it.
If she does, I hope that a judge will not allow it.
And when he is out of office - I hope that they sue his ass again.

And that is he picked the wrong person.

The Dems need to go after Trump hard and relentlessly, including his family and corrupt cabinet.

Let the SC step in front of them, then roast Robert’s and crew.

Since Trump is going to be at a Knicks game, someone needs to invite her. Pass the plate around and she will likely make a million for her defense fund.

And I’m not kidding, the mother fucker needs to be humiliated each and every time he leaves his bubble.

Exclusive: Justice Department launches a criminal investigation into Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll

The Justice Department has launched a criminal investigation into E. Jean Carroll, the former magazine columnist who accused President Donald Trump of sexual assault, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The investigation is focused on whether Carroll committed perjury in testimony tied to her two civil lawsuits against the president – one alleging he sexually abused Carroll in a New York department store in the mid-1990s, and a second for defaming her when in 2019 he repeatedly denied the assault, said she wasn’t his type and claimed she made it up to boost sales of a book.

Prosecutors’ theory hinges on a 2022 deposition statement by Carroll, 82, that she received no outside funding for her lawsuit, though it was later revealed that billionaire Reid Hoffman had paid some legal fees and expenses.

Under acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, the department has pushed to speed up Trump’s campaign of retribution. But the cases he’s brought since taking the reins of the department in April have been heavily criticized and are likely to face challenges in court over allegations of politicization.

Why would we expect fair reporting from them. They are MAGA sympathizers after all.

the DOJ doesn't go around announcing they are investigating people when the investigation is into a legitimate crime.

He just wanted the “announcement” of an investigation into HB. I don’t think he actually cared if it actually happened.

that Trump has put aside for people "harassed by the US Government". It would be all over the news & a hilarious act of irony.
