Rudy made a mistake. Let the crooks fall where they may, be they Republimechanics or Demoncraps.

This is unlikely was a decision made by the Donald. Its a blind decision. The Donald does not make blind decisions.He usua;;y makes them with his eyes wide open.

This was a very smart move. A good lawyer knows that it’s far better to pursue a simple case based on solid evidence that will stand up to scrutiny and is predicated on clear violations of specific laws.

When I see these threads on these legal challenges I immediately think of my last time on a jury a few years ago. It was a civil case involving a car accident. The plaintiff was some foreign dude who needed a translator when he was on the stand. There was no dispute about assigning fault in the case. The other driver was 100% at fault.

The plaintiff’s lawyers introduced mountains of evidence to support their claim that the guy had sustained a permanent back injury — all kinds of herniated discs, bulging discs, displaced discs, etc.

I could tell from the docket number of the case that it had been filed FIVE YEARS earlier, and I knew from experience that the insurance company for the at-fault driver had probably offered a boatload of money to settle out of court.

The one problem the guy had with the jury was that all the medical evidence in the world didn’t come close to proving to us that he had actually sustained any injuries in the car accident. He admitted under cross-examination that he had been a competitive weightlifter earlier in his life, and that he had been involved in at least one prior accident where he had been injured but never sought medical attention.

The jury was out for about 15 minutes before we came back and awarded him $0.
