Did I tell you so???

This is the kind oif stuff he understands almost as much as Biscuit understands Linear Algebra, but I totally see him carting it out and bragging about "the good stuff" he had access to. The story also hints at SIGINT which could include intercepted communications of foreign leaders. Also something the Mouse of Mar A Logo would whip out at the table of a random wedding reception he happened upon, and bragging "Yeah, Boris Johnson was an idiot, look at the stuff he was saying behind my back to Macron and the German bitch".

Tell me I'm wrong.

I have a feeling the Republicans are gonna STFU about this before it comes out he was selling shit to who knows who, or forgetting it at the omelet bar in the morning.

One Map Trump May Not Have Drawn A Dick On

Maggie Haberman and a few pals report at the New York Times that one thing Smith is looking at in the classified docs investigation is a particular highly classified map Trump stole, and whether he proceeded to show it to everybody he had ever met. We are familiar with the concept of Trump blabbing classified things at people in an effort to look cool, because he is a highly stupid man with low self esteem who needs validation.

We don't know what the map is of, but Haberman says they are asking if he showed it on a plane, or if he showed it to an adviser, or to a journalist who is writing a book.

Which Attorney At Law will be loosing his license over the Cohen law suit?

Habbaba

The Cohen suit was signed by only one attorney: Alejandro "Alex" Brito (who is now a solo practitioner).

Brito will need a brujo before this is over.

While on my phone earlier today I glanced at a tweet about the Trump v. Michael Cohen case. It was posted by a law professor who said that she had made a study of Trump's witness intimidation lawsuits. ISTR that she specializes in constitutional law & women's rights, perhaps at a law school in California.

And now I can't find the thread. Did anyone else see it?

[Kendra]

I am unclear which case this is.

TFG suing Cohen for 500 mill--a blatant bullying tactic so of course ridiculous on the face of it. Too bad his Florida judge shopping didn't pan out this time. Not.

He's saying Cohen lied about him--y'know, when he told the truth to the DOJ et al an went to prison. It's the ultimate 1984 headling: Truths are Lies!

One of Cohen's supporters has started a GoFundMe for him. He's gonna need it.

I really hope Cohen can collect from tfg at some point.

Trump sues Michael Cohen for $500 million, alleging ex-attorney breached his contract

Former President Donald Trump is suing Michael Cohen for $500 million in damages for allegedly breaching his contract as Trump’s former personal attorney.

The lawsuit, filed in a Florida federal court on Wednesday, accuses Cohen of spreading false information about Trump and breaching his contractual obligations to the former president in Cohen’s public statements, published books, podcast series and other media appearances.

Cohen, Trump’s onetime “fixer,” has recently reentered the national spotlight after Trump pleaded not guilty last week to 34 charges of falsifying business records following an investigation into hush money payments made to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The payments were coordinated by Cohen in the days before the 2016 election, and Cohen’s cooperation with prosecutors has drawn the ire of the former president.

“Mr. Trump is once again using and abusing the judicial system as a form of harassment and intimidation against Michael Cohen,” Lanny Davis, Cohen’s attorney, said in a statement.

“Mr. Cohen will not be deterred and is confident that the suit will fail based on the facts and the law,” he added.

Trump’s legal team said in the suit that the former president has “no alternative but to seek legal redress” to combat an emboldened Cohen, who they allege has recently ramped up false statements about his former boss.

According to the lawsuit, Cohen revealed confidential information in talking about his prior-attorney-client relationship with Trump during media interviews about the Manhattan District Attorney’s grand jury investigation that led to the former president’s indictment.

re: Trump v. Cohen

Ol' Hannity says tfg has Cohen dead to rights, Cohen admitted everything in his book, and tfg will easily prevail.

I am unclear which case this is.

Judge Gayles is not messing around with fonts. If Trump doesn’t double space his filings in 12-point Times New Roman, the lawsuit may be thrown out.

Apparently, the only lawyers willing to work for Trump these days are the small contingent that thinks that submitting briefings written in Comic Sans will bring a smile to the judge's face.

Other than lawsuits written in pencil filed by prison inmates, it was the most absurd, ridiculous, amateurish, frivolous drivel I have ever seen.

In fairness, I assume the order was boilerplate for the judge. Some judges will enter a court practice notice order for new cases in their court. It has nothing to do with what was filed but what the judge expects in filings for case.

The complaint was double-spaced in the proper font. Comic Sans, however, might have actually helped lift this one to something less dreadful.

Trump says as president he will require every federal employee to pass an exam of questions to make sure they agree with his brand of conservatism, and if they don’t pass they will be fired.

I could be wrong, but I don't think the federal employees union would allow that to ever happen.

[Volkonski]

Federal employees have protections that most employees don't. The time required to fire a large number of Federal employees would be longer that Trump's second term in office.

Trump plans his second term to have no limits.

Fuck Trump and his plans, I think even many of the hardcore trumpers are done with him and his bullshit.

That worked so well for Musk getting rid of everyone.
