  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

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

The investigation is allegedly centered around whether Carroll committed perjury during her civil lawsuits against President Trump, after which she was awarded a $5 million judgment, the sources said.

The probe is just the latest among a series of investigations launched by the department into foes of Trump, a number of which have faced significant obstacles in the courts and grand juries.

A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment on the investigation to ABC News. Attorneys for Carroll also declined comment.

Trump was found liable in two civil lawsuits that resulted in judgments totaling nearly $90 million for sexually assaulting Carroll and defaming her when he denied her claims.

I guess that it is nice for the President of the United States to have the Department of Justice hunt down those who would be mean, or otherwise oppose the Administration…lunching investigations to “see what they find”.

Maybe they should reorganize the DOJ to fall under the Fish and Wildlife Service since fishing expeditions is becoming their main focus.

-- A2SG, not that they've landed many fish this way, though.....

Does seem to be the case, doesn't it? I guess we can add the 4th Amendment to the trash heap along with all the other laws, court orders and Amendments ignored by the Trump administration.

What false statements did she allegedly make? What reason do we have to suspect they might be false? What merits investigation?

When asked if she was receiving outside financial help for her lawsuits, Carroll testified that she did not have any outside funding and was paying the legal fees herself - The Guardian

However, it later came to light that billionaire Reid Hoffman, a co-founder of LinkedIn and major Democratic donor, had provided financial backing to help cover her legal expenses and fees through a nonprofit organization. Prosecutors are investigating whether her initial denial constitutes criminal perjury - CBS News

A three-judge federal appeals court panel in New York already dismissed the claim that Carroll had lied in her deposition in 2024.

Well, hope springs eternal, I guess, especially when you have a DoJ that will do your bidding.

Despite this 2024 appellate ruling finding her explanation plausible, the Department of Justice's newly opened criminal probe is looking at the exact same 2022 deposition statement to determine whether it warrants a perjury charge - The Guardian
