Gotta love the quote from the story: Quote There was no immediate comment from Trump’s attorneys on why they dropped his Florida lawsuit, but the federal judge overseeing the case recently ripped his claims as “both vexatious and frivolous.” The withdrawal Friday also came the morning after the same Florida judge ordered nearly $1 million in sanctions against Trump and his attorney Alina Habba in a lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and federal officials. The same judge that made Trump pay nearly a million dollars for a 'frivolous' lawsuit, is calling another suit by Trump 'frivolous'. To be honest, I'm a bit surprised he recognized the developing pattern. Or maybe he didn't, but his lawyers did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With both suits he was judge shopping for Cannon, but unfortunately for him both got assigned to this judge. After dismissing the first lawsuit, defence asked for sanctions. Sanctions were granted and in it the judge highlighted this second lawsuit as an example of vexatious litigation. Same layers representing Trump. At least they were smart enough to withdraw the lawsuit, knowing they would have lost and if defence asked for sanctions, they would have lost again. The real question is what other judges will due with future lawsuits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, a bunch of the lawsuits about 'election fraud' that were tossed, ended up with the plaintiffs (Trumpettes) being ordered to pay legal costs to the defendants because the suits were totally stupid. Michigan was one. Wisconsin sued for $105k, but was denied.https://www.reuters.com/world/us/judge-sanctions-sidney-powell-other-pro-trump-lawyers-who-claimed-voter-fraud-2021-08-25/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

headoverheels 291 #943 February 17, 2023 The lawyer for the Proud Boys in their insurrection trial is trying to serve a subpoena on Trump to be a witness at their trial, since the DOJ continues to show Trump was a co-conspirator and inspired the proud boys in their actions coming to Washington and participating in the insurrection. Unlike such requests in other trials where the judge quashed the subpoena request, this one has been signed by the judge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,341 #949 March 6, 2023 Among all the other interesting information to come out of Dominion's defamation lawsuit against Fox was the revelation that Murdoch & Fox provided Kushner & the Trump campaign confidential information about the Biden campaign's ads & ad strategy. A couple groups have filed complaints with the FEC that those constituted illegal campaign contributions to Trump.https://thehill.com/homenews/media/3885148-fec-complaints-filed-over-allegations-murdoch-gave-kushner-unaired-biden-political-ads-in-2020/ I wonder if the Biden campaign, or the agency that put the ads together is going to sue Fox for breach of contract. I'd guess there's standard confidentiality language in the contracts for the ads that sharing the info, especially with the opponent, is not allowed.

billvon 2,400 #950 March 8, 2023 I found this fascinating. FOX News is now editing down videos of Trump to take out the worst parts of what he says. On Hannity's show Trump said that he could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, and "that’s without even negotiating a deal. I could have negotiated. At worst, I could’ve made a deal to take over something, there are certain areas that are Russian-speaking areas, frankly, but you could’ve worked a deal.” When Hannity replayed that interview later, he edited out the part about giving Ukraine territories to Russia, making a seamless edit so that Trump seemed to say "that’s without even negotiating a deal. I could have negotiated. China no longer respects the United States.” FOX is now so desperate to make Trump look good that they are editing out the worst parts of what he says. They are in an existential battle here; they cannot survive without Trump supporters, so they do everything they can to prop him up. Of course, anyone with half a brain can get the original recording, but it's probably a safe bet that FOX viewers will not do that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
