I'm happy for her. When the case is thrown out she can seek compensation from Trump's "political weaponization" relief fund.

  that fund will only be used for brownshirts and bribes

    Not at all. This suit is a weaponization of the DOJ against Trump's enemies and victims. Trump was convicted of the rape of Carroll no matter what the headlines soften that up to read otherwise. I'm hoping she does try for compensation just to expose that fund as another political weapon. Optimistically, this fund won't exist much longer anyway.

glad to see they're prioritizing only the most prolific and dangerous criminals in the nation

    Rapist investigates victim. Worth noting, any news outlet that refers to her as an accuser is misleading you. She won in court. He was found to have committed the act. He is a rapist (also a pedophile, unrelatedly)

The level of corruption is staggering.

  The sheer volume dulls your senses to it if you're not staying alert.

    Dull senses, sharp senses whats it matter if the degrees of freedom for your actionable choices with news information dont affect the winning coalition? You're not even part of the selectorate

    That would be the point of the sheer volume.

  As an outsider to the US it feels as if Trump's popular base is still with him, or am I misreading the room ? Downvote patterns would be revealing. I suppose his base considers people like her as an enemy and all means are legitimate in this us vs them war. If that be so, this is what most Americans wanted. You and I would be outliers.

    Most Americans didn't vote for Trump.

      Not sure why this is downvoted. Objectively true. Less than 50% of the popular vote, and that's just voting Americans.

Where have I heard about weaponizing the DoJ from?
