| Appears to be some 'smoke in the teepee' over the $83.3 million award case against Trump |
| 2024-01-29 |
| [GP] The legal team of former President Donald Trump is set to challenge the ridiculous $83.3 million jury verdict in the defamation case brought by nutcase E. Jean Carroll. The basis of their appeal, as revealed to The New York Post, hinges on an alleged "conflict of interest" involving Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan. Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, expressed shock upon learning that both Judge Kaplan and Roberta Kaplan, who are not related, previously worked together at the same prestigious law firm in the early 1990s. This connection was uncovered by The Post columnist Charles Gasparino, following a tip that Judge Kaplan was once a mentor to Roberta Kaplan. According to The Post, Judge Kaplan and Roberta Kaplan were employed at Paul, Weiss, Rifkin, Wharton & Garrison in the early 1990s. Judge Kaplan served as a partner until his appointment to the federal bench in 1994, while Roberta Kaplan worked there until 2016 before founding her own firm, Kaplan Hecker & Fink.

| #4 We seen this movie: (alleged) victim files ridiculous lawsuit and wins ridiculously large sum as jury "sends a message" to the disfavored party. On appeal, suit is either tossed for being stupid or penalty is reduced to actual damages. In the meantime, the process is the punishment + "Evil Person, who is charged with umpteen felonies.." headlines. |
