Re: trump (the former guy)
maybe she decided the book was a sure money-maker but a win, if she wins, against trump could be difficult to collect?

Re: trump (the former guy)
That’s right this case appears to have been settled. Sounds like Trump paid money to settle right before he would have been deposed. This is his modus operandi.Volkonski wrote: ↑Fri Nov 12, 2021 4:39 pmUninformed wrote: ↑Tue Mar 30, 2021 1:24 pm “Back in court: Trump’s appeal in defamation case dismissed”

Re: trump (the former guy)
Maybe she had him pay a third party like a woman’s group. You don’t just drop a lawsuit right before the Defendant’s deposition. But hey what do I know?
Re: trump (the former guy)
Wouldn't her not being allowed to write a book be part of the settlement? I thought settlements usually led to a gag order, especially the former guy's.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Trump's lawyer's statements are as credible as his.

Re: trump (the former guy)
I don't mean to be rude, but who the hell is ever gonna buy a book from her?
Honestly, she was an ex-contestant from The Apprentice!
Umm ... yeah, so were a lot of people, did anything special happen on the set of the show?
Well, no, he assaulted me in a hotel room in Los Angeles. After that I never saw him again until he ran for president.
Wowee, that is going to be a really exciting and insightful book, huh?
Prove me wrong, you know you can.

Re: trump (the former guy)
Yeah, it seems to me that the market is saturated for tell-all books that reveal what a jerk Donald Trump is.

I wouldn't buy it but if she could get a big enough advance, would it matter?After five years, Ms. Zervos no longer wishes to litigate against the defendant and has secured the right to speak freely about her experience."

Re: trump (the former guy)
"It depends." This may be a situation where she had relatively superior bargaining power, and wouldn't agree to a NDA. Cash for a NDA seems like the repeached Florida Man's M.O.
And it has been reported elsewhere that she was threatened with an anti-SLAPP motion. I wish our resident SLAPP expert was here to assess the strength of such a threat. But I could see how that plus Stormy Daniels' legal track record might encourage some sort of mutual walk-away agreement.

How the U.S. Hid an Airstrike That Killed Dozens of Civilians in Syria
The military never conducted an independent investigation into a 2019 bombing on the last bastion of the Islamic State, despite concerns about a secretive commando force.
By Dave Philipps and Eric Schmitt
Nov. 13, 2021 Updated 1:33 p.m. ET
In the last days of the battle against the Islamic State in Syria, when members of the once-fierce caliphate were cornered in a dirt field next to a town called Baghuz, a U.S. military drone circled high overhead, hunting for military targets. But it saw only a large crowd of women and children huddled against a river bank.
Without warning, an American F-15E attack jet streaked across the drone’s high-definition field of vision and dropped a 500-pound bomb on the crowd, swallowing it in a shuddering blast. As the smoke cleared, a few people stumbled away in search of cover. Then a jet tracking them dropped one 2,000-pound bomb, then another, killing most of the survivors.
It was March 18, 2019. At the U.S. military’s busy Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, uniformed personnel watching the live drone footage looked on in stunned disbelief, according to one officer who was there.
“Who dropped that?” a confused analyst typed on a secure chat system being used by those monitoring the drone, two people who reviewed the chat log recalled. Another responded, “We just dropped on 50 women and children.”
An initial battle damage assessment quickly found that the number of dead was actually about 70.
The Baghuz strike was one of the largest civilian casualty incidents of the war against the Islamic State, but it has never been publicly acknowledged by the U.S. military. The details, reported here for the first time, show that the death toll was almost immediately apparent to military officials. A legal officer flagged the strike as a possible war crime that required an investigation. But at nearly every step, the military made moves that concealed the catastrophic strike. The death toll was downplayed. Reports were delayed, sanitized and classified. United States-led coalition forces bulldozed the blast site. And top leaders were not notified.

Re: trump (the former guy)
well, according to some RWNJ's that I know, this would be Obama's fault because he too ordered bombings of Syrian civilians.

Once it's been deloused, I think I'll have to pay it a visit.
IIRC, there was about 4m in liens. Wonder if we'll hear who pays that off.

I bet the buyer has included the cost for totally refurbishing the place in his offer cause everything is T branded, from silverware to linen and bathroom stuff like wastebaskets.
