Agreed. Eliminating the status of limitations temporarily for one particular case so the defendant has no way of defending himself from a 30 year old claim is indeed corrupt.

It wasn't for one particular case. There were 3,000 lawsuits filed using it.

And frankly a three year statute of limitations for sexual assault is ridiculous.

Sure thing, totally a coincidence, it was just really bad luck for Trump

But 30 years is fine? You try finding a witness after 30 years, or security camera footage.
