> Since the Third Circuit Court of appeals (correctly, in my opinion) ruled against Rudy, the best tactic is probably to file a brand new lawsuit in Fed Court in PA, but with different litigants. If it is the same litigants, it will be summarily dismissed under “Res Judicata” (a Latin phrase that simply means “the issue has already been decided”) The new lawsuit should allege pages and pages of facts, identify the witnesses and what they saw, and not be afraid to allege outright fraud.
If rudy avoided bringing up fraud then imaginably there would need to be some internally recognized strategical justification for that tactic. The immediate tactic that comes to my (non legally trained) mind is deliberate avoidance of res judicata via a different lawsuit yet to be filed. Admit it is speculative in nature but I can think of no other logical inference at this moment (other than gross incompetence within the entire trump legal team, which seems unlikely considering he must have behind the scenes folks such as sekulow consulting). Thoughts?
I actually think the fraud allegation was dropped at a time when DJT was represented only by a solo-practicing attorney whose specialty was child custody and alimony. God bless her, I think she was in over her head, and she thought by striking those allegations, she could put together a complaint that skirted around the recent PA Supreme Court decision on ballot curing.
I’m not blaming her. She was trying her best, and she received death threats.
But given the timing, I doubt striking those allegations was a strategic decision.
