These people never had any shame, but at least the PR blowback, and potential (probably minor) legal punishment, was enough to deter them from attacking the victim again. Now they see the POTUS get away with raping, being "proven" innocence by someone bought and paid for, then suing the victim, so they know they can get away with it too.

Before this comment creates a Dem vs Rep division just remember that Bill Clinton, a democrat POTUS, is also a rapist.

The Trumpstein class only has allegiance to each other and money. Gore Vidal called them "the Property party", and FDR called them "economic royalists".

> Schmidt has denied the accusations under oath. The arbitrator said that Ritter did “everything she could possibly do” to avoid discussing the rape accusations under oath.

Uh huh. Everyone knows that it's physically impossible to lie under oath. I don't believe you, Mr. Arbiter.

One of the best things about HN is a fairly troll-free environment. My politics is/was different than Clinton but I don't think he was convicted of that crime.

If you are worth $52 Billion how petty do you have to be to go after your ex girlfriend for cash for any reason?

Also the arbiters write up is incredibly biased and not at all what I would expect a neutral party to write. “One can also conclude that Ritter engaged in self-centered efforts to obtain revenge against Schmidt in a way that was more damaging than helpful to her cause.”

This is about a man who went after a girl less than half his age and then decided the power imbalance wasn’t severe enough so went into business with her as well. Are we really supposed to believe sexual assault is outside the realm of possibility in those circumstances?

I mean just Look who you are talking about.

This man took a major role in logging and selling every single thing about every single person without them noticing. He is sick in the head and a piece of shit human being for violating all of humanity’s privacy.
