These people will be lobbing lawsuits back and forth like rotten tomatoes until the next century.
The level of stupidity on everyone from Trump’s side is mind boggling.
All Trump had to do was say yes I made a mistake and was concerned for Melania’s feelings (not that any one would believe that either) but it would have diffused it and made it go away.
Just keep it in the headlines burning up those mulligans .

This may be one of the very rare defamation cases in which going over that pesky hurdle of proving malicious intent may not prove difficult.

Well, this should be diverting, and not a little illuminating.

We sure dodged a bullet when Hillary was defeated. Otherwise, the nation would have been paralysed by continuous, wall-to-wall bad optics, clouds and shadows.

So much for the Cease and Desist Letter…Really Cohen has made a huge mess of this. Trump ought to fire him and not reimburse the 130K.

Avenatti is good. Very, very good.
And not just because his strategy is to throw back all of Trump’s tactics right in his face.

Tired Trump still hasn’t gotten around to filing a single one of his defamation lawsuits from the 2016 campaign. No confidence in his lawyers. Bad case!

The White House press secretary just made virtually the same statement as the one that Daniel’s is alleging was defamatory. Who will be on the hook for that one? Trump? The press secretary? The American people?

THIS is how you handle a bully.

I wonder what this National Enquirer level sideshow is providing obfuscation for?

tRump once again masterfully plays the media to provide cover for unpopular of borderline criminal activities. With Congress out of town it’s difficult to ascertain exactly what is in play here.

But his infidelities are a true nothingburger, we already know he is the morals of a feral rat.

Question:

How many here would buy a National Enquirer with this on the front page?

There are few things more satisfying than to watch a bully get bullied. Keep punching Stormy. Don’t let up for a minute.

I have a cousin who did what that guy in the photo is doing. He suffered serious burns, as in time in the burn unit. He was 12. Wht’s this guy’s excuse?

As my Civil Procedure professor in first year of law school used to say, with a big smile on his face, “Oh? A little legal ju-jitsu, eh?”

Cohen walked straight into the trap by calling her a liar. As a lawyer he should know better: you don’t show leg when you haven’t got a single one to stand on!
