‘Sue If You Must’: Lincoln Project Fires Back At Ivanka And Jared Over Billboards Threat | Talking Points Memo

They don’t want to sue over this nine days before an election. They won’t care much afterward. Checkmate.

Jarvanka, just like Don the Scion, are stupid, vindictive, and lazy, and they don’t actually have the guts, smarts, or weapons for a street fight.

Lincoln Project, OTOH, does.

I know Conway’s a real lawyer. Probably others. Also they’re not a stupid, maladjusted cat’s paw for other stupid, maladjusted people. It’s an advantage, not being that.

Are anyone dumber than Javanka? They can’t sue the Lincoln Project about an ad. If they did, The Lincoln Project can conduct discovery, which would reveal the devastating truth.

If they had stayed silent, Javanka wouldn’t have highlighted their evil.

The Trump people are really bad at this.

Jarvanka apparently have not heard of the Streisand effect. You’d think someone in their orbit would have clued them in, but sometimes you can’t fix stupid, or really don’t want to.

If the body bags had MAGA on them we would not hear a word.
Or “From Russia With Love”.

This is just a pretext to funnel a few million dollars of Republican donors’ campaign contributions to sleazy Kasowitz, who will then kick back a sizable fraction to First Lady Iwanka, Skanky Turdface and the Trump Organization. A nice little scam in broad daylight in the middle of 5th Avenue during the last days of a doomed, death-ridden and destructive campaign.

Actually they will care afterward. They are going to want to go back to their old lives as suckup socialites and shadowy grifters.

Maybe, but they were down to $62 million cash on hand at the beginning of october and you know the campaign fund will be sub-zero in 10 days.

Foot note 7 is the best.

Your clients are hereby notified that they should retain any documents, including emails and other electronic files, relating to the matters at issue.Your clients are further advised that in any lawsuits arising in these matters, The Lincoln Project would intend to seek expedited discovery and to depose Ms Trump and Mr. Kushner in videotaped proceedings and to depose each individual that attended the March 21 meeting on which Vanity Fair reported.

To be concerned about the Streisand effect requires the ability to think two moves ahead. Literally two moves ahead.

Don’t see how suing gets them closer to that goal.

Javanka are radioactive in New York and in all other cities.

Neither do I, but read the Vanity Fair article. Kushner is an arrogant idiot just like his father in law.

Well, clearly they care a fuck-ton more about what NYC thinks of them than what DC does–same goes for Don.

What’s also the same is that they are, like Don, also actually sufficiently stupid, insulated, and self-engrossed as to imagine that they even can go back to NYC.

Which they can’t. They’re going to be reviled everywhere.

If tRump is re-elected expect the libel laws to be re-written to protect him and his crime family. Expect his three SC justices to go along with it.
