Former U.S. President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay E. Jean Carroll $83.3 million dollars on claims he defamed her in stating she is a liar. Trump slammed Carroll's claims he sexually assaulted her in the Bergdorf Goodman department store. Carroll's allegations bizarrely mirror a preexisting television episode of "Law and Order: SVU."

In short, I don't believe her claims. What if she is lying (and once again I don't believe her story at all) and he has been ordered to pay $83.3 million dollars. Do you realize the implications of that on the justice system and what it means for other potential defendants in unrelated matters. Think about that.

The Washington Post reported, "Trump was found liable for defamatory comments he made after the publication of a book excerpt in which Carroll described being raped by Trump in a dressing room at the Bergdorf Goodman department store in the mid-1990s. Trump called Carroll a liar and suggested a sexual encounter with her was impossible because she was 'not my type.'”

Carroll has provided no proof or corroboration of her claims. She came forward with a claim that is a storyline from a preexisting television show and due to the political hatred for a politician, has been awarded millions of dollars. That looks highly questionable and a criminal investigation should have been properly conducted. There is something suspect about the whole thing. It has set a shaky precedent. Today it is one political party being targeted, tomorrow it could be yours (and even you). Think about that...
