Trump's legal team tried to stage an intervention to stop his demand for a lawsuit against New York

Trump's legal team tried to stage an intervention to stop his demand for a lawsuit against New York AG: report

There was an intervention among Donald Trump's lawyers on Wednesday night, according to New York Times "Trump whisperer" Maggie Haberman and her co-authors.

The intervention wasn't one in which loving family members gathered around to read their letters asking their loved one to get some help. Instead, it was a legal team desperately trying to tell the former president that his "primal scream of a lawsuit" against New York Attorney General Letitia James was ill-advised.

It's been a difficult legal week for Donald Trump where he was forced to settle a long-fought case brought by protesters because the Bronx court couldn't find any jurors who didn't hate the former president. The previous week was worse, however, with his fraud case going to trial, the Justice Department bearing down and talking of an indictment after Election Day.

Trump's lawyers tried to tell the Florida lawyers that filing a frivolous lawsuit would not only fail but it could result in legal malpractice. Florida has laws against so-called "frivolous lawsuits," which could mean that if Trump files one he could be subjected to pay for the other side's attorney's fees.

You really should read the whole thing... What a fuckin maroon tfg is, this shit is just too funny

[Hekate]

1. Fools

[Evolve Dammit]

10. at least. Complicit enablers of a deranged sociopathic mob boss criminal may be more descriptive.

[DENVERPOPS]

15. Good one ED

Super wording. Concise and completely accurate on all counts!!!!!! LOL

[Evolve Dammit]

16. It's all I got. Thanks. Wish it could translate into more.

[malaise]

17. And

Accurate 😀

[Evolve Dammit]

18. Thanks Malaise. I am listening to Nichole Wallace talking about Till (with Whoopee) and am reminded

of how horrific we were, can again become, and never really evolved beyond. Cult 45 has brought it all back, and needs to be checked. HARD. If we can't, this country is in serious disrepair. Sorry to be so "Debbie Downer."

2. So Trump was willing to sit for a deposition

I looked it up, and it said that pleading the 5th as a plaintiff could result in the dismissal of the lawsuit.

Hope this continues to the deposition stage. The judge will not be amused when Trump either tries to avoid the deposition or pleads the 5th.

AG James must be loving it.

[Grasswire2]

3. a little more pressure, and maybe he'll stroke out.

I would never hope for that for anyone else.

Except maybe Putin.

Monsters.

[wryter2000]

7. I'd pay to watch it for Putin

His death would do the world so much good.

[Ocelot II]

4. Here's the complaint. If it weren't for the fact that there are complete sentences

and a dearth of random capitalizations, you'd think TFG had written it himself. It's just another recitation of grievances. I am truly amazed that any lawyer would sign their name to this dog's breakfast. https://int.nyt.com/data/documenttools/donald-trump-lawsuit-against-a-g/73596cd3daf0928b/full.pdf

21. I'll bet Ms. James got a nice belly-laugh from this

It's about 41 pages of word salad, and her name comes up about 5 or 6 times on every page.

[WA-03 Democrat]

5. Yet all of his Tee times remain intact

He is golfing
He is hosting weddings
He is rubbing out nose in his shit

He cannot be a maroon and get away with a life of crime. No one has that luck. He and his pals are above the law. Rules and laws are for losers

[jmowreader]

6. At the end of it all...

Trump will end up being a pro se litigant because no one’s going to risk their license to defend him.

[Hassler]

8. Apparently there are still lawyers too stupid to know they won't be paid

[Ocelot II]

9. Or that they could be sanctioned, fined, suspended or disbarred.

[calimary]

11. That would be well-deserved.

And it could serve as one of those “teachable moments” on what lame-ass stunts NOT to attempt if you want to be taken seriously as a legal professional.

[Grokenstein]

12. "the Bronx court couldn't find any jurors who didn't hate the former president"

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

For the humanoid who actually uses the phrase "your favorite president, me!" unironically, that's gotta be worth an entire five bottles of wall-ketchup.

[ShazzieB]

20. I threw my head back and laughed like a hyena at that line!

I knew they were having trouble finding jurors that didn't already hste his guts, but hadn't heard thst they finally had to give up on it!

As much as I hate that orange baboon myself, I was actually surprised that they couldn't find enough jurors in a place that populous. I guess he really must be more universally hated in NYC than anywhere else!

EDITED TO ADD: Does anyone know if that was really the reason the suit was settled? I can't find anything that addresses this.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. The "other side" are usually VERY GOOD LAWYERS and are NOT cheap.

Who have the evidence of crimes committed.

TDFG must have boatloads of money to spend.

[republianmushroom]

14. Orange A-O they are coming for you

[SunSeeker]

19. It is a horrible blemish on the legal profession that TFG found lawyers willing to file that suit.

[Genki Hikari]

22. The best thing I've read in a long time

is this one sentence:

It's been a difficult legal week for Donald Trump where he was forced to settle a long-fought case brought by protesters because the Bronx court couldn't find any jurors who didn't hate the former president.

I never gave much thought to the Bronx-Brooklyn-whatever-NYC thing before, but I think I now love the Bronx.
