For at least the fifth time, former President Donald Trump on Monday lost an attempt to dismiss his civil fraud case through a maneuver seeking a directed verdict in his favor.
In tossing Trump’s latest challenge, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron reminded the former president that “a lie is still a lie.”
How many times does he get to try this?
I mean it’s like dealing with a toddler. They said no, that means no.
It’s not going to change when you ask them again 375,000 times in a row.
If it goes up again the judge needs to grow some balls regardless of their gender and tell the lawyers that if you attempt to bring this action again to my court that you will be sanctioned and possibly disbarred.
It works on the incompetent rubes. Had an idiot on Facebook saying some shit like “80% of indictments were thrown out”. Not a motion to dismiss, but they had already been tossed out. Some quick google-fu only showed they tried to have evidence excluded for like 80% of the indictments due to statutes of limitations. They lost. The evidence was kept in. I might be getting some details wrong, but it was in no way a “win” for trump.
The loser has been radio silent since asking for a source. Usually he’s on top of it, posting like a dozen propaganda puff piece articles that are all the exact same article rehashed on different right wing “news” sites.
Frivolous lawsuits are actually rare. Much like most news, we only hear about the crazy shit, because it’s crazy shit.
Local AM radio lawyer talks about this a good deal. These lawyers are not bringing stupid shit before these judges, who they know and have to work with. Keep fucking around and they face sanctions and disbarment.
Trump’s lawyers do not seem to get this. I’m not saying the state bar should kick their ass for representing the man. But can we get a little more action here?
Any lawyer still with Donnie has given up on a legal career. They are going to be media personalities, either getting paid by the Left to tell anti-Trump stories or by the Right to keep on defending him by maligning the system.
