Democrats Still Haven’t Learned That Lawfare Has Consequences

Naturally The New York Times is out with its own patently absurd version of events with regard to the Justice Department’s inquiry into E. Jean Carroll’s lawsuits against President Trump. If the “paper of record” is going to keep acting like DOJ investigations are only legitimate when perpetuated by Democrats against their enemies, then Trump’s “retribution campaign” should continue for as long as it can.
News broke Wednesday that the DOJ had opened a criminal probe involving Carroll, who has told a hysterical tale that includes allegations of Trump, well before he was ever president, having raped her at some unspecified date (in a department store fitting room, mind you). The DOJ hasn’t officially acknowledged any investigation, but the Times reported Thursday that the probe centers not on Carroll but on the nonprofit organization that assisted in funding Carroll’s litigation.
The Times laughably claimed in its report, authored by Glenn Thrush and Benjamin Weiser, that what makes this DOJ target so unique is that Carroll, “an author and columnist, never sought a public role, political power or governmental authority.” Maybe someone should tell Thrush and Weiser that to be a published author is by definition to seek a public role. And of course she wanted political power. She even did it the way all Democrats have done for the greater part of the last 20 years: She claimed to be a victim, thus earning herself fame, authority, influence, and money.
There’s no question that Carroll’s rape allegation, as unbelievable as it was, harmed Trump politically. She said that after the two giggled and gallivanted all over a department store in notoriously sleepy Manhattan, the two of them stumbled into a predictably empty, unattended fitting room, where Trump forced himself inside her, an incident she initially refused to call a rape because “most people think of rape as being sexy” and “think of the fantasies.”
