Donald Trump’s campaign spokesman defended Trump using “vermin” to describe his enemies, while historians compared his language to Hitler, Mousselini.

    A jury if his peers still found that Trump was a rapist. The judge in that trial clarified that the jury finding meant that Trump was a rapist.

    This was after the Trump camp claimed, after losing the defamation suit, that none of this meant that Trump was a rapist.

    So the judge explicitly clarified that the jury had found that Trump had committed rape.

    This was the original comment. I said that they found he was more likely than not a rapist, not that he was a rapist beyond a reasonable doubt. That was my correction.

      So nobody even mentioned reasonable doubt until you brought it up yourself and added a baseless correction of your own narrow definition of reasonable doubt from an imaginary criminal trial?

      Not exactly a clincher.

        I clarified they didn’t find he was a rapist. They found he was a rapist based on a preponderance of the evidence
