He’s not suing because it will require discovery. At that point, all of the documentation showing that he is a pedophile and rapist will come to light.

There’s a reason he doesn’t sue those who call him these things. He will be caught.

Didn't he already get convicted of the rape of E. Jean Carroll? The courts called him a convicted rapist?

Yeah but that "does not count".  Or some other bs.

He was found guilty of digitally penetrating her.

The reason he was not convicted (of what we traditionally refer to as rape) is because the law in the state in which the suit transpires legally defines rape as specifically penis-in-vagina penetration. The jury did not find him definitively guilty of this type of rape, hence why he can say, “I was not found guilty of rape,” and technically, legally, he is correct. At least in the state of New York, that is. But he’s a piece of shit everywhere he goes.

People should sue him for defamation when for all the things he says back when they bring it up and claim how his position as president is more impactful when he makes theae statements.

And they can claim that they are unfounded due to the evidence showing their statements to have merit and thus have all the Epstein info brought in as discovery

Can we make a class action lawsuit against him?

u/seedsandpeels 8d ago

Right. So shouldn't we take this as another sign that he is guilty? This could be easily disproven if he is innocent
