The judge overseeing ex-President Donald Trump’s mammoth lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and a slew of other 2016 political enemies rejected Trump’s request that the judge disqualify himself on Wednesday.
“I’m a lo-o-o-oser, I’m not what I appear to be…”
Donnie’s logic, such as it is, is laughable. He’s a self-righteous asshole, to boot.
Cheeto Mussolini has played this game for years and must be good at it because he’s escaped justice thus far. Hoping justice deals with him before he kicks off. But I’d be OK if he kicks the bucket any day now.
I can’t wait for discovery. Let HRC’s lawyers get him under oath and grill him for a few days, or weeks, or months…
Trump’s lawyers are doozies, in a bad way. Reminds me of:
Q: What does one call a law student who graduates last in their class?
A: A lawyer.
Before there are depositions, there’s discovery, which goes BOTH ways. And while there’s nothing I would enjoy more than watching TFG sweat and squirm under oath for 40 hours, this stupid suit will not survive a motion to dismiss. And I hope this judge writes a 300+ page opinion which totally guts any sort of successful appeal.
Frivolous abuse of the legal system.
Unless instead of moving to dismiss, Clinton files a counter suit.
This former guy A-Hole shoulda cited the precedent of “Hey, I’m just asking questions!” from the famous case of Glenn Beck v All Human Intelligence.
Jeez. Is there a word for this kind of, “hyper-hyperpartisanship?”
I mean, at some point, Trump and his ilk want to live in a world where no one but Trumps and Trump toadies exist. Same goes for much of the GOP these days as well. They’ve painted on so many layers of red onto their lenses that they’ve become completely blind to everything.
Before 2016, he was a puffer fish in a small pond. He played up being a big fish, but his criminality wasn’t prioritized by law enforcement because he wasn’t a major player in anything (which isn’t to excuse their laxity). But he’s never had to deal with the reality that he’s just a bitty fish in a large ocean. And these Federal barracuda aren’t impressed by his puffer routine.
Trump argued the wrong grounds for recusal — this judge needs to recuse himself for his role
In the Bowling Green Massacre and for his current relationship with Frederick Douglass.
It would have been nice if Judge Middlebrooks could have worked in a citation to Donald Trump’s cloaca mouthed public statement, back before he was President, that District Judge Curiel would be biased against him in the Trump University fraud lawsuit, because he is Mexican. But he could have worked it in, in a short citation paragraph on some really outlandish “childish fantasy” conflict of interest claims rolled out in service of litigation gamesmanship.
He’s probably saving that for when he writes his dismissal order.
My guess is that it will be a doozy.
More to my taste:
Q:What do you call 100 Trump lawyers at the bottom of the sea>
A: A good start.
Guilt by disassociation is a new one.
Trump’s lawyers aren’t literally strip mall P.I. mill trash, but metaphorically speaking, that’s exactly what they are.
Yea, but only after they pass the bar exam, which in many states has only a 50-60% pass rate. I have a friend from law school, who wasn’t last in our class, but still never passed the bar. He’s still not a lawyer.
Oh and forgive me for my picking of nits here. But hey, I’m lawyer, that’s what I do!
But will Con Man Trump pay these poor excuse for lawyers?
