Trump v. ABC & George Stephanopoulos

[MN-Skeptic]

It wasn't rape, it was only a sexual assault! Also, too, Donny once again slanders E. Jean Carroll.

Trump sued ABC and George Stephanopoulos for defamation over George Stephanopoulos's interview of Nancy Mace -- and my thread about the interview is cited repeatedly in the complaint

[much ado]

This should be a slam dunk for ABC and George Stephanopoulos. Judge Kaplan has already ruled that Trump's actions meet the common (dictionary) definition of rape. It is so stupid of Trump's lawyers to advance this suit. (But they just do what Trump tells them to.) Trump must think that suing for defamation is an easy win, since Carroll won her suit. He really needs to find $500 million somewhere.

Once again...

This one is filed by a new attorney for Trump, Alejandro Brito from Corral Gables. Brito isn't very brito if he thinks this will go anywhere.

Did they get his name from a bus stop bench? Not that there's anything wrong with bus stop bench lawyers, but I'm thinking those lawyers aren't the kind you use for defamation.

Its all about billable hours. I just hope he got a large retainer from the mango mussolini.

Sounds like Best Lawyers in America is semi-legit. It reminds me of the Who's Who books. I was supposedly listed in the Who's Who of American high school students and later the one for college students. I figured pretty quickly that the main privilege I had earned was the right to buy a copy of the book for $35 or $40 to see my name in it. I had finished first in my HS class and magna cum laude in college so I figured that's how they got my name and address. I never bought either.

Not new.

Brito signed the defamation complaint against Cohen. (It was voluntarily dismissed months after its filing.)

Brito also shows up in the FEC filings.

Nice find. Probably of the same political persuasion.

Who's Who is exactly what I thought of when I saw the claim.
