Federal judge dismisses Trump's lawsuit against N.Y. attorney general

TFG cannot get a first tier law firm to work for him and has been using shopping center lawyer and other idiots. This lawsuit was so dumb that it was sad.

— Former president Donald Trump’s lawsuit against the New York attorney general — which claimed that her long-term civil investigation into his business practices was an abuse of authority that needed to be stopped — has been dismissed by a federal judge in Syracuse, N.Y.

The former president’s attempt to halt Attorney General Letitia James’s (D) probe into the Trump Organization and its dealings with lenders and tax authorities was rejected in a 43-page decision made public Friday by U.S. District Judge Brenda K. Sannes.

In a statement, James said her office would “continue this investigation undeterred,” suggesting that Trump has made efforts to “choose how the law” applies to him.

“Time and time again, the courts have made clear that Donald J. Trump’s baseless legal challenges cannot stop our lawful investigation into his and the Trump Organization’s financial dealings,” James said in a statement.

1. He has a history of not paying his bills.
2. His misogyny turns off female lawyers, many of whom are partners in big firms; they don't want to be associated with Trump's filth.
3. His legal positions are untenable and often outside the law.
4. He doesn't listen to his lawyers' advice.
5. He cannot shut his mouth and consistently admits his crimes.
6. He's a loser; his legal cases almost always are losers.
7. His ego is bigger than the lawyers; a client should always follow the lawyer's advice.
8. He's a crook.

Are there any more?
