Trump to give deposition...THIS WEEK....the media is not all over this

[spanone]

i was reading this article (http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/01/politics/week-in-politics-trump-russia/index.html)

and 'Trump to give deposition' was the last paragraph at the bottom of the page:


Trump to give deposition

Trump will attempt to conclude a piece of older business this week with a deposition at Trump Tower this week.

The deposition comes as part of Trump's legal battle with the chef Jose Andres.

Andres was supposed to launch a restaurant in the new Trump International Hotel in Washington. But after Trump's attacks on Mexicans as he began his presidential

campaign in June 2015, Andres withdrew, and Trump sued him for breach of contract.

Original story December 15, 2016:

Judge orders Trump sit for 7-hour deposition in early January

(CNN)Before President-elect Donald Trump heads to the White House on January 20, he will find himself back in the witness chair for questioning in his ongoing contractual dispute with celebrity chef, Jose Andres.

DC Superior Court Judge Jennifer A. Di Toro ruled Wednesday that Trump must sit for a deposition in New York City the first week of January, and it may last up to seven hours.

Unfuggingbelievable

[spanone]

12. i love how they frame it as 'older business' as if it's nothing of concern

[malaise]

22. Hillary's emails -

now that's news

[2naSalit]

32. Emails from over 4 years ago.......nt

[ffr]

[spanone]

9. i've added the original story to the post....

[bettyellen]

16. ''Twas the rape case, and I'm not sure what happened to that

[Qutzupalotl]

31. The alleged victim withdrew her case after receiving death threats. nt

8. A smart man would have ended this lawuit but trump can't let it go because a chef insulted him

imagine what will happen when a world leader does it?

[spanone]

23. chef andres offered to end lawsuits....trump has not responded

[TeamPooka]

24. Yup, Trump is a petty little fuck head.

[gratuitous]

34. I think that's why he had the New Year's do at Mar-a-Lago

Reports say Trump raked in $420,000 for hosting this shindig. I wonder if that was done to fund a settlement offer? I don't think Trump is particularly eager to sit down for a deposition right now (or anytime).

[bucolic_frolic]

10. How do you pin down the truth?

And let me guess, you don't have to bake a wedding cake if it violates your
religious beliefs, but

you can't back out of a contract if the other party's beliefs insults your
ancestry

[DesertRat]

11. Thanks. k&r

13. Leagal people- does this cheff have any chance?

[jmowreader]

14. After seeing the name of the judge, I think Trump has met his match

http://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2011/10/judge-jennifer-di-toro-sworn-in-to-dc-superior-court.html

She's been described as "the proverbial iron fist in a velvet glove." She's one of President Obama's appointees. She's spent most of her career in public-interest law.

From President Obama's nominating letter:

Jennifer Di Toro: Nominee for the Superior Court of the District of Columbia
Jennifer Di Toro is the Legal Director at the Children’s Law Center where she focuses on seeking safe, permanent homes and access to education and health care for children and families in the District of Columbia. Prior to joining the Children’s Law Center in 2004, she served as a staff attorney at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia in the Trial and Special Litigation Divisions. Di Toro was also an attorney at Zuckerman Spaeder, LLP and a Prettyman Fellow at the Georgetown University Law Center’s Criminal Justice Clinic. From 2009 to 2010, she was a Harvard Law School Wasserstein Public Interest Fellow. Di Toro earned a B.A. from Wesleyan University in 1989, an M.Phil. in Modern British Literature from the University of Oxford in 1991, a J.D. from Stanford Law School in 1997 and an LL.M. from Georgetown University Law Center in 1999.

This is what she looks like:
?itok=DqN61Asc

She's also openly gay. And her name indicates she's got some Mexican heritage.

IOW, this is the last person Trump ever wanted to find on the other side of the bench from him. Which, of course, is good.

[hughee99]

18. I think that name may be Italian, not "of Mexican heritage". Nt

[2naSalit]

33. That's what I was thinking too.....nt

[secondwind]

15. Kicked

[FuzzyRabbit]

17. Media coverage of Trump's misconduct.

"Trump to give deposition...THIS WEEK....the media is not all over this"

Oh, I am sure the media will give this deposition all the breathless attention it gave his $25 million Trump University settlement. You remember, the scandal they covered day in and day out for days, weeks even. </sarcasm>

[malaise]

30. +1,000

That sure vanished quickly - of course Groper Don the Con simply decreed that he would have won if he went to court.

Truth be told he is a common criminal not merely a con

[Loge23]

19. Apparently more important news:

A pop star had a technical glitch.

[McCamy Taylor]

20. Hurray. This violates the "No bullying" rule.

Outaws get even but they do not abuse their superior power to do so.

[oasis]

21. Put the spotlight on his sorry ass. nt

[tclambert]

25. Trump sued for breach of contract? "He's acting like me!" whines complainant.

Trump giving a deposition. That means under oath. He has to swear with one hand on the book that contains Two Corinthians that he will tell the truth. They will need the whole seven hours to teach him what "truth" means.

[spanone]

26. if ever there was a chance of spontaneous human combustion.......

[barbtries]

36. he'll lie under oath

as easily as he lies every other time he opens his mouth. he's certainly been known to lie when the truth would have served him just as well or better. imo he cannot really help it.

[Angry Dragon]

38. a lie to me or you is just the Trump Truth to Donald

[Cha]

29. FUCK the US Media******!

Thanks for trying to spread the word, spanone

[barbtries]

35. when he's president,

will Pence step in for all the many hours trump will be working on his personal business and legal obligations?

[Angry Dragon]

37. is he going to bring his own gold throne??
