The Democratic National Committee’s legal team, bolstered by Obama White House lawyers, moved to dismiss a lawsuit from onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page, arguing the "gist" of British ex-spy Christopher Steele's controversial dossier was true.
In January, Page filed a lawsuit against the DNC, powerhouse law firm Perkins Coie, and its lawyers Marc Elias and Michael Sussmann, alleging they maliciously engaged in a defamatory conspiracy in 2016 that cast false light on his character and interfered with his ability to make a living.
“The Defendants are private actors who used false information, misrepresentations, and other misconduct to direct the power of the international intelligence apparatus and the media industry against a private individual, Plaintiff Carter Page, to further their political agenda,” Page’s 23-page complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois read.
This week, the high-profile lawyers defending the DNC and Perkins Coie filed a 43-page motion asking the judge to dismiss the case, claiming that the court lacked jurisdiction, that Page’s claims of defamation and conspiracy passed the statute of limitations, and that Page failed plausibly to allege defamation and conspiracy.

Just like any good dump-a-crap run bureau they ‘DEEMED” it to have validity

They’ve been selling the sizzle rather than the steak for so long they believe they can survive on it. . .
Latham and Watkins. I’m going to enjoy watching Carter Page and his lawyers destroy the L&W legal team. I defeated one of their environmental cases with just a one page document I found. Proved that their attorney was full of shit, bluffing with three ridiculous pieces of papers as their defense (one of which was not even a legal document and the others were totally wrong in their assertions).
PopCorn, CornPop. Lots of Popcorn. I’m going to really enjoy the show.
Go get them Carter!
“Gist”? Whatever happened to evidence and truth?
We now live in the “almost pregnant” Universe.
The gist of it was what.....the word “the”...
Thanks bitt.
