In reply to the discussion: ABC agrees to give $15 million to Donald Trump's presidential library to settle defamation lawsuit [View all]Jack Valentino
(4,231 posts)I was actually watching the ABC show that Sunday morning in question, either because I had grown weary of 'Meet The Press' or because they were pre-empted by some sports event-- I can't recall the date now, but I remember that I was very happy with George Stephanopoulos for pressing and refusing to back down on that exact point--- that Trump had been found "liable" for what the judge afterwards described as 'rape', in that civil case.
Disappointed in ABC, but I suppose they may consider this as merely a 'business decision',
and the amount tendered might be less than they estimated it could cost them in legal expenses alone,
just to fight the case out to a conclusion that they weren't guaranteed to win....
$15 million.... well, I suppose they are rich, right ? Probably "chump change" to them, to make this go away.
If I were the judge, I would have dismissed the case... but I'm not a lawyer either, much less a judge.
In the end.... "Trump wins again" when he clearly deserved to LOSE. I grow weary of that....
Eventually, the judgement from 'karma' is coming,
and that bill is bound to be high....
Money won't settle that case.
