(11,088 posts)If the case is not quickly dismissed under Rule 12(b)(6) for failing to state a cause of action, there will likely be sanctions under Rule 11 when the case is over.

(4,845 posts)He thinks Trump will win all of them and all the democrats will go bankrupt. Trump is doing this so his base can say that. Nevermind it will go nowhere and dismiss timely at a judge. I am sure I won't hear anything from my dad about these suits again.

(11,088 posts)Listing "John Doe" defendants allows the tolling of the statute of limitations to allow time to learn the identity of unknown defendants. Of course, when your complaint doesn't state a cause of action, naming John Doe defendants is a futile gesture.

(13,531 posts)These privileged assholes use the courts to throw sand in the air and to delay process long enough that it becomes moot or the other parties give up.
A ridiculously long brief and multiple respondents to waste the courts time going through this mess. And in this case it is accusing the accusers to muddy the issue.

Now she's doubled down and has thrown all manner of legal shit at the wall, hoping some will stick. I expect she'll bring down Rule 11 sanctions on her ass, and maybe get herself suspended or disbarred, like legal lepers Rudy Colludy and Sydney Powell.

(115,587 posts)as in a criminal RICO case. The RICO statute contains a specific provision under which a private party, usually a business entity, can file a civil suit in federal court against a person, corporation or other entity claiming they violated the RICO statute in the same manner as if there was a criminal prosecution. The plaintiff would have to prove by a preponderance of the evidence that, in violation of 18 USC §1962, the defendant participated in the conduct of an enterprise via a pattern of racketeering activity, and that as a result the plaintiffs business was injured.

(19,958 posts)please tell everybody that my pee tapes and that Trump Tower meeting with Veselnitskaya and Manafort and all the other stuff was just a conspiracy to make me look compromised. Just have your state media say none of it really happened, okay? Spasibo.
