Of course it is. Donald is full of it.
I can’t wait for Trump to file, he is gonna enjoy discovery!
It’s not defamation if he’s repeating what Trump already said on National television and to point out actual donations that Trump has given. So I agree, it is laughable.
Total head fake by Trump. He would NEVER follow through on such a suit. Take it for what it’s worth. After Saturday this is a non-issue for Trump.
Dons lawsuits seems more like buying Lottery ticket, the more you buy the greater you chances......File frivolous lawsuits all over the country, he may get lucky on some.
Trump threatens to sue Floyd Abrams for being a nasty nasty man and a liar.
Wow, 169 lawsuits just in federal courts alone. Lawyers must love him.
But it sure would be fun to see Cruz depose Trump for the suit as he said he would do today.......
If Trump were to file the lawsuit, then I, as an attorney, would advise Ted Cruz not to make a motion to dismiss, but to start discovery. Take depositions, interrogatories, every discovery tool in your arsenal. Put Mr. Trump under oath. Make him answer questions under oath. That worked out well for Bill Clinton, didn’t it?
But Trump is not going to file any lawsuits against Cruz. He is just posturing.
But as an Attorney, if I were representing Ted Cruz, I would welcome any lawsuit and would not make any pre-discovery motions to dismiss. My guess is that once the discovery process were started, Trump would dismiss the lawsuits on his own.
That is just my LEGAL opinion.
I don’t know how many times the author of this article has been sued or sued somebody; but, I have let’s just say many times.
The author’s point that Trump could not WIN is almost certainly true. The point that he would certainly be thrown out is a BIG maybe depending on what judge Trumps lawyers “shopped”.
What the sum total of this “reporter’s life experiences as a principle in litigation are are likely zero. So, I will help her out some. FIRST, Trump has unlimited lawyers and unlimited money and I guarantee you they are not SCARED of ANY lawsuit with Trump’s bank account backing them up. SECOND, there are many reasons to “sue” someone that have nothing to do with WINNING. Trump might just want to distract Ted with a truckload of lawyers he COULD put on the case. He might want to delve into Ted’s background. He might have specific documents he wants to get his hands on in discovery (if he can). I could go on and on with reasons he might want to sue Tec.
Trump is no idiot. His 11 billion vs the paupers in the race make him the smartest of all on the stage by a factor of billions. Nothing about litigation scares him. So, those Trump haters tooting their horn about Trump can’t WIN are pathetic. Any litigation he filed would not be about WINNING. He knows that.
Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, I will vote for Ted in the Texas Primary AND I would not want to be on the other side of the conference table from Ted for 6 hours if he was giving me a deposition. I would sure as hell pay some serious bucks to be a fly on the wall though.
