QOTD: Stick A Fork In It

 


Former Federal prosecutor Joyce Vance writing in her Substack on the corrupt sexual abuser Malignant Fascist on trying to delay and frustrate payment of the judgement he owes to his rape victim, journalist E. Jean Carroll:

"The most annoying thing, from a legal perspective, about Donald Trump is how he plays the delay game, drawing cases out far longer than any other litigant could get away with. He relentlessly files borderline (and sometimes outright) frivolous motions and fights every step of the way, using every motion to reconsider and every other procedural tool available, even when it’s hopeless.

That’s how it felt today in the E. Jean Carroll case. We’ll get to what happened during the day in a minute, but first let’s start with how it ended, just after 10 p.m. ET. The Second Circuit Court of Appeals denied Trump’s request to stay District Judge Lewis Kaplan’s order that it was time for Trump to pay Carroll the $5 million, plus post-judgment interest, that he owes her. The Second Circuit ruled just hours after Trump asked for the stay.

Trump, of course, isn’t done yet. Next, he’ll ask the Supreme Court for a stay. Prediction: It will be similarly unavailing. Stick a fork in this case. It’s done."

It's a sign of how far the culture and corporate media have been degraded to treat this story with a yawn, as if it's commonplace for a U.S. President to avoid paying for his criminal actions, in this case, defamation of his rape victim. But it's time to stick a big fork in the MF's desperate move.
