There is more to this story than the rapist in the WH! Elites having their way with minors and getting away with it! Remember Acosta, the Florida prosecutor who orchestrated the fiasco of an investigation. He was rewarded with an appointment to the rapist’s first administration. These men deserve to be exposed and given the exact same treatment as Maxwell, and PLEASE don’t tell me justice is equal, Breonna Taylor’s family knows that for sure!

Yes. One day. The woman was killed by a police officer and he gets one day.

What troubles me is yet again the chief felon is suing a media company. Let’s hope that this case does end up at trial and discovery. But so many of his frivolous lawsuits end up being settled— with money lining his pockets and he claiming victory. ( cases in point recent settlements by CBS and ABC). CBS should have never settled, but that is often what lawyers do— take the easy way out. I understand CBS is after a merger deal but filing suit is an intimidation tactic.

It will have a chilling effect on news outlets that never deserved to be called that in the first place, I imagine. How weird that it’s the WSJ I’m rooting for.

It does have a ripple effect. How weird to be rooting for the WSJ— just hope Murdoch doesn’t cave ( he and the felon are friends) and the parties reach a settlement. Look at what happened with CBS— the lawsuit was baseless but they settled and paid the chief felon big bucks.

That asshole keeps doing this because it works. Did none of these outlets ever deal with a bully. You stand the hell up.

From your lips.

But also: I doubt the Wall Street Journal comes to this in any way unprepared.

My money is on them. The accusations in the suit makes it sounds as if no one on the plaintiff’s side understands anything but sleazy bullying.

The guy who was recorded on the bus bragging about hitting on a married woman and “nailing” her, kissing women anytime he got the urge because “they let you do it”, and grabbing women by the xxxxx, now says he’s been “defamed” by the revelation of his gross birthday with the disgusting drawing to his partner in pedophilia - Epstein. LOL

There is so much twisted about Trump that we don’t know. Perhaps Marla moved Tiffany to CA and kept her away from Trump over the years because she knew about the perversion having lived at Mar A Lago where Maxwell recruited some of the girls. Perhaps she was repulsed by Trump’s calling Ivanka a “good piece of ass” on the Howard Stern Show and adding he’d date her if she wasn’t his daughter.

And we still have no explanation for Ivana being buried on his golf course in NJ. I wonder what was really buried in that coffin which he wanted to keep under his control like the documents he stole from the WH and stashed in various rooms including a bathroom at Mar A Lago. I’m not into conspiracy nonsense but everything about Trump is weird.

The list goes on and one, doesn't it? His pain will be my pleasure. I've reached that horrible point.

Join the club. His death will be a day to rejoice. One of my friends wants it to be slow and painful, I’ll take it any way we can get it and preferably asap.

So.....is Robert Murdoch going to roll over and hand the Pedo in Chief $10B alá CBS/Paramount's example? I don't think so. I give zero fucks for Murdoch, but he has the means to let this play out.

It is weird, rooting for Murdoch. But I am rooting.

I second Courtney Milan, whose hope it is that this reaches discovery. I mean, I second her after looking up discovery to make sure I had the right idea what I was talking about. :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discovery_(law)

Someone else (my memory hinders proper citation) wondered whether Trump would be impeded in bringing this suit, as the symmetric flop side of the prohibition against people bringing private suit against Trump during his presidency. Not that I expect that.

Discovery is the goal. Let’s hear it, all of it.

Interesting that Trump is using a very small law firm in Coral Gables owned by a man of Cuban descent whose other attorneys have same ancestry after his recent ditching of the Cubans too. Plus he bullied all of those high priced mega firms to provide him with millions of dollars in legal defense - so why isn’t he using one of them in this instance? Oh, wait this is just another one of his BS distraction suits that will drag on endlessly and end up in nothing. Sadly.

PREcisely. And good on you for researching them. I’d started it but got distracted.

I'm eagerly awaiting it, because if he doesn't chicken out, we're going to get all the good shit.

That said, I also want to say that it seems to me that there has been a dramatic uptick in people whose livelihoods depend on concisely worded documents instead filling them with global-warming levels of hot air.

I don't understand.

I promise I have no legal expertise but this suit is shoddily-written.

His “lawyers” write like people who never attended law school but stayed overnight at a Holiday Inn near a law school and now they think that makes them lawyers.

This is what is called a "boutique" law firm. I do not know what that means.

A firm that focuses on a specific area of law as opposed to a general practice firm.
