Seems Johnson knows this. Both him and Trump will keep this shutdown going to stop the forced release of these files it seems. Don’t know what kind of plan they’re cooking up though.

      Yeah that he’s a rapist is a matter of record. That he was adjudicated as such after the statute of limitations ran out is why he’s not a listed sex offender.

        Saying Trump is a rapist is a bonfifed fact. It’s very hard to convict anyone of rape, and yet the fucker was found guilty.

        Anyone who says Trump isn’t one, is one of his cult members or wants to be one like him.

          To be clear, he wasn’t found guilty because it wasn’t a criminal trial. The judge ruled, on the balance of probabilities that it was more likely that he raped Carroll than he didn’t. That’s a different bar than for criminal trials which require that it is beyond a reasonable doubt that he raped Carroll.

          Now my personal opinion is that he absolutely raped her beyond a reasonable doubt, and that he has definitely raped others on numerous occasions, but sadly those aren’t legal facts as he hasn’t been found guilty of them by a criminal trial jury or judge.
