  • Mary Trump could give DNA in Trump rape case

    https://www.motherjones.com/politics..._medium=social


    There are lots of creative ways of using DNA in legal cases that have been invented in the last few years—I’m thinking about genetic genealogy, the technique used to identify the Golden State Killer through DNA from his distant relatives. Does anything preclude, say, Mary Trump [Trump’s niece who recently wrote a damning book about her uncle] from spitting in a tube and giving it to Roberta Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer?

    She could do it voluntarily. That’s a really interesting theory. I don’t think there’s anything that would preclude her because she has control of her own DNA, even if it might match.


    What do you think her DNA would show? If E. Jean Carroll asks for it that means she certainly expects a match.

      E. Jean Carroll is accusing Trump of forcible rape. This has nothing to do with consensual sex.

          There is an old rather unkind joke about French politicians and sex - namely that in France it is a scandal if a politician is not having an affair!

            I can't see how such a thing would even be legally admissible. It's like accepting the confession of a third-party as proof that the defendant committed the crime. In the case of the Golden State killer, the police used publicly available DNA databases to narrow their search, but they still needed to collect direct evidence to tie the suspect to the crimes.

                  It's disturbing (or maybe just a sign of how progressive the fall of man is) how we've graduated from just a sexual affair, that would have been enough to sink a politician in the past, to now outright charges of rape. And now not even that will be enough, as both candidates have been accused of this.

                  But you'd think after Tara Reade, the left wouldn't continue to go there, but they do. Election 2020, baby! They're pulling out all the stops.

                    Changing the subject? We are presently dealing with Donald Trump. I am not a fan of Bill Clinton either. He indeed turned out to be a shifty character.

                      It wouldn't legally prove Trump did it, but maybe it and her claim is sufficient evidence for a warrant for his DNA.

                      OTOH, what it would prove is that the person that raped her was a 'relative' of Donald Trump. Given her accusation is that is WAS Donald Trump, it pretty much proves it was him, regardless of it's legal admissibility.

                      Maybe it would be sufficient for a lawsuit if not a criminal proceeding?

                      People like you would have to eat any words spoken or written claiming she was lying ...

                        Just noting the hypocrisy.

                        More and more, it appears that when a man enters politics, the higher he goes, the more corrupt he becomes.

                          On that - we agree!

                            As Emperor Leto put it in Frank Herbert's Dune series: "The problem is not that power corrupts, but that power attracts the corruptible."

                            There is some wisdom to the belief that if you want to put somebody in charge, then you should pick the guy who least wants to do it.

                              Not necessarily, which is precisely why it wouldn't be legally admissible.
