I guess the layer John Phillips will be much sought to spill the beans, the opinion of the arbitrator, to cover for many future NDA breaches.filly wrote: ↑Tue Sep 28, 2021 10:06 am![]()
The arbitration is confidential, meaning that only the parties involved can release information about the case. In papers made available by Ms. Manigault Newman’s lawyer, John Phillips, the arbitrator, Andrew Brown, said that the definition of the type of comment protected by the nondisclosure agreement was so vague that it had been rendered meaningless. What was more, he wrote, the statements Ms. Manigault Newman had made hardly included privileged information.
****
The statements do not disclose hard data such as internal polling results or donor financial information,” Mr. Brown wrote. “Rather, they are for the most part simply expressions of unflattering opinions, which are deemed ‘confidential information’ based solely upon the designation of Mr. Trump. This is exactly the kind of indefiniteness which New York courts do not allow to form the terms of a binding contract.”
At another point, Mr. Brown wrote that the agreement “effectively imposes on Respondent an obligation to never say anything remotely critical of Mr. Trump, his family or his or his family members’ businesses for the rest of her life.”
The arbitrator added, “Such a burden is certainly unreasonable.”

The article also specifically notes that the decision of the Arbitrator is not precedent but is "suggestive" to other arbitrators.
Re: trump (the former guy)
Now I'm curious who drafted the NDA.
Cohen was a VP at the organization; I would guess it was either him, or someone who worked for him.

You mean Donald J. Cohen, bob? I can’t imagine a lawyer did anything but stenography for DFO, maybe adding a few legal concepts here or there.

Re: trump (the former guy)
The money shot of that case it it might lead to all of the NDAs signed by anyone around him being unenforceable. He should have settled that case.

"For completeness," this 2018 article has the text of the NDA. And here is the arbitrator's decision.
No indicator who drafted (or signed) the NDA for the organization, but doesn't read like something written by a bottom-quartile graduate.

Former President Donald Trump once called a top White House aide and asked her to confirm that his penis wasn't small or shaped like a toadstool, an explosive new book says, according to The Washington Post and The New York Times.
The former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham writes in her forthcoming book, "I'll Take Your Questions Now," that Trump called her while he was on Air Force One and asked her to assure him that his penis wasn't small or toadstool-shaped, as the adult film star Stormy Daniels had alleged.

Trump Loses Attempt to Toss Eddy Grant’s ‘Electric Avenue’ Lawsuit
A judge ruled Tuesday that a copyright lawsuit brought by “Electric Avenue” singer Eddy Grant against former President Donald Trump can go forward. The parties are now expected to proceed to discovery.
U.S. District Court Judge John Koeltl rejected Trump’s motion to dismiss, which said the song’s use in an online ad for Trump’s unsuccessful re-election bid was “a different and transformed purpose from that of the original Song” and was useable due to fair use. Koeltl said the use was essentially “wholesale copying of music to accompany a political campaign ad.”
“While it is true that the animation is partisan political commentary and the song apparently is not, the inquiry does not focus exclusively on the character of the animation; rather, it focuses on the character of the animation’s use of Grant’s song,” he said.
Lawyers for Grant wrote in the complaint, reviewed by TheWrap, “Despite Plaintiffs having sent Defendants a letter the very next day objecting to Defendants’ infringement and demanding the removal of the infringing video and that Defendants refrain from further infringing Plaintiffs’ copyrights, and despite numerous comments on Mr. Trump’s August 12, 2020 tweet linking to articles reporting on the infringement, Defendants have continued to willfully and wrongfully infringe Plaintiffs’ copyrights.”

Damn, Trump lost Rudy, Jared, Jason Miller, Brad Parscale and Corey Lewandowski. Serious brain-drain in Trump World. Good thing he has his sons to pick up the slack.

Former President Donald Trump praised a U.S. service member who was photographed pulling an Afghan baby across the Kabul airport wall during the Afghanistan withdrawal and brought him onstage at a rally Saturday.
"We’re also honored to be joined by one of the Marines who bravely served in Kabul during the withdrawal and helped evacuate children over the airport and over the airport wall," Trump told a crowd of thousands gathered in Perry, Georgia. "You saw him, he did a great job, Lance Corporal Hunter Ian Clark. Lance Corporal get up here!"
Lance Corporal Clark walked up to the stage accompanied by cheers, and Trump referred to him as a "handsome guy" during his approach.
"Hey, my name is Lance Corporal Hunter Clark, and I’m here from Warner Robbins, Georgia," Clark told the crowd. "I am the guy that pulled the baby over the wall, and it’s definitely probably one of the greatest things I’ve done in my entire life."
Clark appeared to be choked up, adding, "I just want to thank all the support from all y’all. It really means a lot and I’m glad to be home now."

Re: trump (the former guy)
Doesn’t matter that he wasn’t in uniform. The DOD regulation draws a both a smudgy line and a fairly bright line: You can go to rallies in civilian clothes, but you cannot “participate” (whatever that means, presumably it’s more than merely attending, so, smudgy), and you definitely cannot “speak” (that’s pretty clear).
I’m of two minds about this (well, maybe a mind and a half). Military members should be permitted to attend partisan political rallies, and they shouldn’t be permitted to speak. But when a military member is put in the spot by a former president to come up and speak, should he be punished for that? Is the member supposed to embarrass the former president by declining?
Ordinarily I’d say no. Except that, and this is where he loses me, he either managed to let trump or his handlers know he was there, or he came by invitation. I mean, the likelihood that trump recognized him in the crowd is zero. So I wouldn’t be heartbroken if the Marines stomped on him a little for this.
