I'm pleased to see that one of those clowns had to revise his comment...




As Gardner told Newsweek, even if there was no criminal verdict, civil suits "play an important role in vindicating rights or telling important stories." 


"Even though this was not a criminal verdict and even though the verdict did not extend to rape, the verdict tells us that a unanimous jury of Trump and Carroll's peers found her credible and found it more likely than not that Trump sexually assaulted her. 


"It is also telling that the verdict came quickly. One thing we often forget is that a jury of our peers is so important that we have a constitutional right to such a jury in federal courts not just for criminal trials, but also for civil trials like this one." 

In a response to Newsweek, Fell said he added to his post "Edit: They agree that he's a sexual assaulter, at least."
