Interesting.
President Trump: "There were numerous cases where women were paid money to say bad things about me. You can't do that. You can't do that. And those women did wrong things." https://t.co/o5rsXVqVgt pic.twitter.com/CgqBN63sKdโ The Hill (@thehill) June 23, 2019
If Drumpf has proof of this bombastic claim, then he needs to haul these (as yet unidentified) women whom he is accusing of serious crimes, in to a court of law, get everyone sworn in under oath, and let's get to the bottom of the truth - right? Sound like a sensible idea?
Here's the thing though.
Remember back in 2016, in the months leading up to election day, when those other 15 or 16 women came out with their own claims of Donald Trump sexually assaulting, and even, like E. Jean Carroll is now claiming, raping them? Just as he is here with Carroll, a snarling Drumpf dismissed all of those women as liars and frauds too, using the same defense that he didn't "even know" most of them, or "never met" them. And yet, like with Carroll, evidence in the public domain inevitably comes to light that shows otherwise.
But Drumpf, being the oh-so-extra-special turgid bully that he is, decided he would take his then public denial of guilt a step further when he claimed that when the election was over, he The Great and Powerful Drumpf, was going to sue all of these women. For what? Presumably for slandering his pristine family name or his manhood, or both, but he didn't say.
There was a news interview at the time where the attorney for one of Drumpf's accusers laughed at his threats to sue and said . . .
"๐๐ ๐๐ง๐ช๐ข๐ฅ ๐จ๐ช๐๐จ ๐๐๐๐ช๐จ๐๐ง๐จ ๐ฌ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฃ ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ช๐๐ฅ๐ค๐๐ฃ๐ ๐ฅ๐ค๐ฌ๐๐ง ๐ฉ๐ค ๐ง๐๐ฆ๐ช๐๐ง๐ ๐ฃ๐ค๐ฉ ๐ค๐ฃ๐ก๐ฎ ๐๐ง๐ช๐ข๐ฅ ๐๐ช๐ฉ ๐๐ก๐ก ๐๐๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐๐๐ก๐๐ง๐จ ๐ฉ๐ค ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐๐๐ง ๐๐ค๐ง ๐๐๐ฅ๐ค๐จ๐๐ฉ๐๐ค๐ฃ๐จ. ๐ผ ๐๐๐๐ก๐ ๐๐๐ฎ."
And if you believe that Drumpf wasn't aware of the truth in that statement, explain why it is then that since the day he blustered that threat to sue, why hasn't he uttered a single peep, or made a single legal move to sue a single one of these women accusers?
Fear of perjury and obstruction.
It's the same reason Drumpf is now using executive privilege claims to prevent people who formerly served in his administration from responding to subpoenas and talking to Congress under oath. It's the same reason that Drumpf himself has copped to for not wanting to be interviewed in person by Robert Mueller, for he knows full well, and he knows himself better than anyone, that he would very quickly find himself in criminal peril for lying to investigators and obstructing a federal investigation.

And that right there dear readers, is the sum total of the personal character of the individual who presently calls himself POTUS.
