Could he just be fishing for a reinstatement rendering the suit moot?

Has he tried paying $8?

[Ben-Prime]

Because of course.

*Kozinski* took Trump on as a client?

Literally, I thought there was nothing left about Trump's actions and supporters that could break my heart, and I was apparently wrong.

He was once my favorite judge. I let that go by the wayside after his sex scandals and his step down from the bench, but I thought, "Surely, this paragon of libertarian thought would never...."

He would.

I am sad now.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Donald Trump has defeated his niece Mary Trump in a lawsuit where she accused the former U.S. president and two of his siblings of defrauding her out of a multimillion-dollar inheritance.

In a decision on Monday, Justice Robert Reed of a New York state court in Manhattan said Mary Trump released her claims against her relatives in a 2001 settlement over the estate of Donald Trump's father Fred Trump Sr.

Reed said the settlement, which gave Mary Trump with more than $2.7 million, was neither "a product of overreaching and unfair circumstances" nor "a case where defendants' alleged threats preluded the exercise of plaintiff's free will."

There are plenty of Republicans who lack moral courage to speak out themselves silently hoping that a prosecutor will solve their Donald Trump problem for them.

[AndyinPA]

Ain't that the truth. Cowards, all.

(Bloomberg) -- A federal judge dismissed a lawsuit by former Trump Organization lawyer Michael Cohen accusing the US government and Donald Trump of retaliating against him for publishing a book.

Cohen was serving a prison sentence for crimes tied to his work for Trump and was initially released to home confinement in May 2020. He was then briefly reincarcerated in upstate New York, which he claimed was punishment for refusing to sign an agreement that would have prevented him from speaking to the media or publishing his book, “Disloyal: A Memoir: The True Story of the Former Personal Attorney to President Donald J. Trump.”

US District Judge Lewis Liman said he was required to dismiss Cohen’s suit under Supreme Court rulings that have greatly limited the ability of citizens to sue federal agents accused of violating their civil rights.

“Before doing so, however, this court pauses to reiterate the profound violence this holding does to Cohen’s constitutional rights,” Liman wrote in a 33-page ruling.

IRS asks Supreme Court not to block Congress from getting Trump’s tax records

KEY POINTS

• The IRS and the Treasury Department urged the Supreme Court to not block an order that federal income tax returns of former President Donald Trump be given to a congressional committee.
  The IRS and Treasury in a legal brief said Trump’s emergency request for the delay “cannot satisfy the demanding standard for that extraordinary relief.”
  The filing came nine days after Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary block on the House Ways and Means Committee getting the tax returns of Trump and related business entities.

The IRS and the Treasury Department on Thursday urged the Supreme Court against blocking a lower court ruling requiring the agencies to turn over years of former President Donald Trump’s federal tax returns to Congress.

The IRS and Treasury in a legal brief said that Trump’s emergency request for a delay “cannot satisfy the demanding standard for that extraordinary relief.”

Shortly after that filing, the House Ways and Means Committee, which is seeking Trump’s records, filed its own brief asking the Supreme Court to deny Trump both further delay, and his request that the court hear his appeal of lower court rulings against him in the case.

“Further review from this Court is unwarranted, so there necessarily is no basis to issue emergency relief pending appeal,” lawyers for the Democratic-controlled committee wrote.

The filings came nine days after Chief Justice John Roberts issued a temporary block on the committee getting the tax returns of Trump and related business entities from the IRS.

‘You Lost Again Donald!’: Plane Trolls Mar-a-Lago With Pro-DeSantis Banner Hours Ahead of Trump ‘Announcement’

A pilot trolled former President Donald Trump at his South Florida residence and golf club Tuesday with a banner pushing Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) as the 2024 Republican Party nominee.

It is not clear who ordered the flight and banner, but Michael Bender of the New York Times shared a snap of it on Twitter just after 4 p.m. ET.

“YOU LOST AGAIN DONALD!” the banner reads. “#DESANTIS 2024.”

Of course, being Trump he will be late so 9:30ish is more likely.

[Greatgrey]

Good lord, he absolutely demands to be the center of attention.

9pm est

Of course, being Trump he will be late so 9:30ish is more likely.

He will arrive at 9:30 then talk about himself for an hour, perhaps an hour and a half and then "Announce." I hesitate on the hour and a half because 11PM is past his bedtime and he will want at least half an hour of his "advisors" fawning all over him after the speech and bad dancing.

[New Turtle]

He could just say he's running, but not do the actual filings for exploratory committee, etc.

[MN-Skeptic]

The First Amendment requires television stations to carry Trump? Who knew?

[Suranis]

I would have thought that the first amendment allows Trump to scream at a cloud, but does not require others to repeat Trump's yelling at a cloud.

I would guess Trump wants this to be like the "coming down the escalator" moment with lots of fawning press and actors cheering.

[Greatgrey]

He just filed paperwork.
