More proof that Trump’s lawyers are idiots (and incompetent.)
Trump is a Public Figure and it is almost impossible to sue for libel if you are a public figure.
Also, doesn’t this open them up to DISCOVERY if they actually file a suit against the publisher/author?
Idiots.
With this kind of “legal” advice, no wonder he went bankrupt 7 times.
Plus, more free publicity! The publisher is loving this. The ads write themselves: “Read the book Trump doesn’t want you to read.”
“We are investigating numerous false and/or baseless statements that you have made about Mr. Trump,” attorney Charles Harder wrote
“Oh, go fuck yourself, you hypocritical piece of shit!”

Agreed. And doesn’t the first amendment count for anything anymore?!?!
My copy is supposed to be delivered on Tuesday. I’d bet my last penny I’ll have a knock on the door from Amazon by 6:00.
Yup, right on schedule: the next round of feces slinging, hoping something will stick.
I think the technical term for this is “flailing”…
(What definitely will stick are the images to which we are being treated… )
You know, for this I would almost fork out good money just because the sales numbers will send the ape in the Oval Office shrieking around his pen.
Hope they have a big supply of Depends on hand!
I did the same thing, Prime is amazing! Delivery on release date.
I have ZERO interest in reading this book. But I am sorely tempted to buy it now (and read it carefully), because Trump doesn’t want me to.
Another reason for Trump to hate Bezos. Hahahahaha.
Laughing through my tears as it appears the republicans refuse to do anything about fearless leader though. Grassley invited Fusion GPS to testify publicly, but won’t release the testimony already given. Yeah, sure. Come into my web, said the spider to the fly.
"Harder sent a similar letter to former White House adviser Steve Bannon last night, threatening to sue Bannon for defamation and violating a confidentiality agreement."
So, which is it….fake news, or information they are afraid to get out there? This threatening letter just gives credence to the whole book. Bad move on the part of the attorney.
Authors who write books with the first accounts of history, covering a sitting President (a public servant mind you, though you’d hardly ever know it) are rolling in their graves. What’s that? Some of them are still alive? Maybe they should get a few of those writers on the horn for a comment or two. Everyone knows, in the World according to Trump, that only nice things are allowed to be written about our Presidents. Get with the program people…
Knowing Trump, he probably made those Russian hookers sign a non-disclosure agreement, too.
I can’t wait for Harder’s cease-and-desist letter to them.
Once the video leaks…
I might just buy this book now.
To PuPPet’s PuPPets: “From my cold dead hands” beginning Tuesday.
@pbj_diddy Read the excerpt at NY Magazine. You’ll be hooked. I hate trumPP and I’m dying to read the whole thing.
It’s hard to retract the urine once it leaks.
That didn’t even occur to me!
There were the armies of reference clerks whose job was simply to draw up lists of books and periodicals which were due for recall. There were the vast repositories where the corrected documents were stored, and the hidden furnaces where the original copies were destroyed. And somewhere or other, quite anonymous, there were the directing brains who co-ordinated the whole effort and laid down the lines of policy which made it necessary that this fragment of the past should be preserved, that one falsified, and the other rubbed out of existence.
Wolff lawyer reportedly responded with a Kiss and My Ass letter.
