Trump threatens legal action over Pulitzer Prize website as J6 issues subpoena

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

The same day Donald Trump was subpoenaed by the House Select Committee Investigating the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol, attorneys for the former president threatened legal action against the Pulitzer Prize Board.

In a letter sent to the organization's New York address at Columbia University a notice it was considering litigation under Florida's defamation law.

The letter complains about a statement the board published to its website about complaints it awarded 2018 Pulitzer Prizes to The New York Times and Washington Post.

"These inquiries prompted the Pulitzer Board to commission two independent reviews of the work submitted by those organizations to our National Reporting competition," the Pulitzer board said. "Both reviews were conducted by individuals with no connection to the institutions whose work was under examination, nor any connection to each other. The separate reviews converged in their conclusions: that no passages or headlines, contentions or assertions in any of the winning submissions were discredited by facts that emerged subsequent to the conferral of the prizes."

And the meltdown continues.

1. I hope they consider it frivolous and fine the hell out of the orange idiot AND his attorneys.

[Ocelot II]

2. I always look up the lawyers behind TFG's moronic lawsuits.

These two are young, out of law school less than 10 years, and (of course) members of the Federalist Society. Hell of a way to launch your legal careers, guys.

3. Don't forget to sue the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences

and the Nobel Foundation

[sinkingfeeling]

4. I'm waiting to be sued by TFG for voting against him in 2016 and 2020. Maybe he can sue

all 82 million of us.

5. LOL! nt

6. tRump has never been crowned Miss America, either.

Coincidence? I think not.

[Ocelot II]

7. I'm surprised he hasn't sued the Nobel Committee for not giving him the Peace Prize.

8. TFG is on his way to being labeled a vexatious litigant

The lawsuit against Clinton and a good number of other, the lawsuit against CNN and now this claim are all lawsuits that have been or will be dismissed

[Retrograde]

10. I think he's well past that point

problem is, the courts have not declared him one. Because he files in so many different jurisdictions? Because someone thinks he has money and will pay his lawyers? Because of his habit of suing people without his resources into the ground?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

12. It takes a great deal of work to meet this standard

Nunes should have been labeled as a vexatious litigant a long time ago

[Progressive dog]

9. That made me laugh.

Seriously, I couldn't help myself. Most children have a better grasp on reality than Trump.

[Genki Hikari]

11. They should tell him they'll rescind their prizes

Only after HE rescinds granting Presidential Medals of Freedom to known liars like Rash Limpf--k and Gym Pedo Jordan.

Oh, and his pardons of known criminals like Steve Bannon and Roger Stone.

Then renege on the deal, like he always does, and not revoke the prizes.

At least the Pulitzer board will be on the side of truth and morality.

13. Oh FFS, he doesn't have more important things to think about right now?
