33. So does that mean you think Carroll's lawyer doesn't know what she's doing?

Trump didn't agree to immediately honor the court's decision. He made an agreement to either stipulate to it or force Carroll to seek disbursement by a motion -- an agreement to which Carroll was a party.

She knows exactly what the agreement was, why it was entered into the way it was, and how it was to be enforced. She could have demanded that the court give up the funds without any further action by any party. She didn't. The funds are the property of the court. Under the agreement, the court could disburse them EITHER if Trump and Carroll sent the court a new stipulation agreeing to the disbursement or, if there was no new stipulation by both parties, then Carroll could go to the court with a motion.

But I guess all those articles know something she doesn't and she's fucking up?
