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.”
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.
