Three days four days before trial, I had an actual breakdown, Carroll said. I lost my ability to speak, I lost my words, I couldnt talk and I couldnt go on. It was thats how frightened I was.
Once Carroll sat in the witness chair during the trial, her attitude changed, she said.
But oddly, we went into court, [lawyer] Robbie [Kaplan] took the Lecter, I sat in the witness chair like this. And she said, Miss. Carroll, good morning. Would you please state your name for the court?' Carroll recounted. And amazingly, I looked out, and he was nothing. He was nothing. He was a phantom it was the people around him who were giving him power, he himself was nothing.
It was an astonishing discovery for me, she added. Hes nothing, we dont need to be afraid of him. He can be knocked down.

Together, this team of brilliant young people have, as you said, stood up to the man, who, by the way, Rachel, is not even there. Hes nothing, she said. He is without he is like a walrus snorting and like a rhino flopping his hands.

In CNN Interview, E. Jean Carroll Calls Donald Trump Nothing. Zero. An Emperor Without Clothes
In an interview with CNN Monday morning, E. Jean Carroll described seeing Donald Trump for the first time since 1996, when she says he assaulted her in a fitting room in a New York department store. And there he was, she said. And he was nothing. Just, no power. He was zero. I was flabbergasted.
Asked if she made eye contact with the former president, she said many times, and described the experience as looking at an emperor without clothes. Its like looking at nothing. It was nothing.

(5,966 posts)He would have had to watch the interview. I wonder how many TVs he has broken since Friday?
If I had the time, and the money, I'd put that on a continuous loop and play it all the time on the West Palm Beach TV stations. It would drive him mad(der).

(70,643 posts)This has to be killing him. Fine by me. He has made so many people suffer and die with
his act and ignorance. 14 million world wide dead from C-19 is the real #. Donnys little
fingerprints are all over those deaths he had to scrap the global pandemic task force,
fire the epidemiologist from the CDC who was on the ground in Wuhan, have Kushner send
18 tons of our PPE to China, sell fake cures and testing kits for the disease, and try to make
money off of it.
"And Team EJC were just daring Donny to speak some shit so they could sue him again.

Does anyone agree with me that E.Jean reminds me a bit of Nancy Pelosi in that photo? Thats icing on the cake to say he can be taken down by an 80 year old woman of bravery and intelligence!
