What were you doing Thursday night? Well, if you are E. Jean Carroll and you just bilked a billionaire businessman, presidential candidate and former president out of $83 million in damages, you might have been at a fancy affair in New York City surrounded by your legacy media friends, celebrating your victory over that bad Orange Man who you maintain sexually assaulted you (despite your acknowledgment that parts of your story are "difficult to conceive of") and who said really mean things about you, and now must pay for it.
Just like the Fulton County, GA case with District Attorney Fani Willis is imploding spectacularly, consider that this judgment could be overturned on appeal. Perhaps E. Jean Carroll should ask Stormy Daniels.
Congratulations to President Trump on this final attorney fee victory in his favor this morning. Collectively, our firm obtained over $600,000 in attorney fee awards in his favor in the meritless litigation initiated by Stormy Daniels. https://t.co/ld7SVvZOp6 pic.twitter.com/1b5P3flxFb

This will be the eventual fate for E. Jean Carroll, too. pic.twitter.com/Tsd4AKvLJz

This could all but ensure Trump wins the presidency again. This "celebration" will be part of the receipts used against this lot.
The celebrations continued for E Jean Carroll as MSNBC's Molly Jong-Fast threw a celebrity party in her honor after her whopping $83.3 million defamation victory over Donald Trump.
The former Elle columnist was hailed as an ‘icon’ by a host of media power brokers at the exclusive Flower Shop bar in New York’s Lower-East Side.
Jong-Fast's MSNBC colleague Lawrence O’Donnell was among those paying tribute alongside former Saturday Night Live producer Marci Klein, New York Times opinion writer Lydia Polgreen and Sarah Ellison of the Washington Post.
‘She seemed delighted and vindicated. She was in awe and victorious,’ one guest reported.
‘She looked like a hero. It’s great to see women winning the day,’ added another.
One wonders what their view is on transgender men taking away awards from biological women athletes. In that case, women are not winning the day at all.
Jean Carroll, 80, has pledged to spend the money on whatever ‘Donald Trump hates’, but it came as the former president began interviewing lawyers to take on his appeal.
The head-spinning sum was more than three times what her own lawyers had asked for after a jury in a Manhattan courthouse agreed that Trump had defamed her by denying he sexually assaulted her in 1996.
Carroll went on her favorite outlet and pledged to use the money for "good." This good included a shopping spree for herself and fauxnalist Rachel Maddow.
WATCH:
This is the most despicable video.

This nut job has no idea the physical & emotional trauma rape victim suffers.
The emotional pain never goes away. It is a pain E. Jean Carroll has never experienced except in her fantasies.

MSNBC's Lawrence O'Donnell gave up the jig. They can't get rid of Trump with spurious charges of Russian collusion or with two impeachments, so they'll simply bankrupt him out of existence.
As he headed off for the party O’Donnell claimed that Trump could be ‘on his way to bankruptcy’, with further civil suits over January 6 and his New York fraud trial potentially costing him $1 billion.
‘That could be the smallest debt Donald Trump owes, and just the beginning of Donald Trump’s collapse into bankruptcy,’ he told viewers.
Great moments in journalism: Politico interviews E Jean Carroll lawyer Roberta Kaplan. Kaplan says in 2017 she saw Trump as a danger to the country. Says 'We were looking for cases to bring against Trump.' Tried a fraud case which lost. Then more looking. So Politico asks this: pic.twitter.com/UTf7ZF1tVq

Call it what it is. This is pure evil. No matter how you feel about an enemy or someone you do not agree with, changing laws, using ideologically aligned judiciary and lawyers willing to trade integrity, and upholding the law for fame and the spotlight is not the way. This describes this Carroll judgment in a nutshell, and probably most of the Trump lawsuits.
BREAKING: Trump's lawyer says the defense recently discovered a connection between the judge in E. Jean Carroll's case and Carroll's lawyer, raising concerns, especially considering that one of Carroll's lead counsels had previously served as the judge's law clerk, and it was… pic.twitter.com/coDNQdTuKm

William Scott Downey said in his Proverbs, “Law without justice is a wound without a cure.” If this type of lawfare is allowed to stand, this wound will remain gaping, gangrenous, and fester down to everyone, including actual victims of sexual assault who have the wrong views or do not traffic in monied and powerful circles.
