There are a whole lot of pundits out there, but there are a few who stand above the rest because they’re truly smart. I listen carefully for instance when George Washington University Law School professor Jonathan Turley speaks, because he’s usually right on the money.
Another commentator who is always spot on is Victor Davis Hanson, the classicist, military historian, farmer, and political commentator, so I was very curious to see what he had to say about the $83.3 million awarded to columnist E. Jean Carroll in her defamation trial against former President Donald Trump. I had written that I thought the whole thing was absolutely ludicrous and wondered if Hanson would agree.
I was not disappointed. Hanson shredded the sham trial in an op-ed Friday, saying that this would have never happened – and nor would many of the other pending legal actions against the former president – were he not running for the top job again and threatening the progressive worldview.
He started by talking about the former president storming out of the courtroom Friday:
The subtext of Trump’s rage, aside from the outrageous monetary size of the defamation ruling, is that he was facing — and angered — a left-wing claimant, a quite hostile left-wing judge, and a left-wing New York jury.
The civil suit serves as a mere preview of four additional left-wing criminal prosecutions, left-wing judges, and left-wing juries to come — all on charges that would have never been filed if Trump had either not run for president or been a liberal progressive.
Democrats always accusing others of what they do.
There is no proof that he did anything to her, but somehow the word of this crazy loon is enough to condemn him. Meanwhile he defends himself against her ruining his reputation and she claims that He defamed Her??????
She better keep those receipts when going on her shopping spree, just like Stormy Daniels she is going to have to pay him back.
Democrat WITCH-HUNT !!!!! She Won’t get a PENNY !!!!!
Victor Davis Hanson is one intelligent dude!!!! He should be president!
