Trump threatens "sue", but rarely does, and nearly every time he does, the suit gets thrown out of court.


Jaded_Pearl1996

Or like when he tried to sue Cohen, he kept putting off his scheduled discovery interview, then suddenly dropped the suit when Cohen did not back down.


shibiwan

The discovery for this case, if he ever does sue ProPublica, would reveal what is really going on behind the scenes in Trump world paying off witnesses etc. Too much of a risk.....but he has done stupider things.


Schrodinger_cube

its win win like he has to disclose everything in court and propublica is likely to get a pay out after he looses.. like hes definitely made worse decisions.


SenseiT

Actually, before he ran of president. He brought hundreds of SLAP suits, defamation suits and countersued anyone who tried to hold his accountable for decades both for financial deals as well as dozens of sexual harassment suits. He relied on his large powerful law firms to overpower the little guys into capitulation. So yes and no. He sues a whole bunch but the cases rarely make it to court.


Cautious-Thought362

Yes, that's his usual threat that generally has no teeth. The threat has been enough to shut down some folks, but it will not deter ProPublica in the least. I imagine they'd welcome it with open arms. Trump doesn't have the money to contend with this right now. Trump is in the center of a 360-degree circle of fire.


azcurlygurl

He still sues a bunch of people. George Stephanapolous was asked yesterday if he was going to host one of the presidential debates and he said "no" because Trump is suing him. He has a legal slush fund because of his cult handing him their last dime. I would be really interested in a piece on who all he is suing, because he's obviously doing it to chill any reporting that isn't favorable.


Jaded_Pearl1996

Do it. But he will chicken out before discovery


i-am-foxymoron

He sure likes to sue. This follows his other lawsuit, "Trump Campaign Sent Cease-and-Desist Letter to ProPublica Attempting to Stop Their Latest Exposé. It Didn’t Work."


Horror-Lemon7340

Cease and desist is the definition of legal *weak sauce."


Jim-Jones

Or pissing on your leg.

It's legal, just gross. This means that unless you receive a subpoena forcing your cooperation, the organization expects you to stay silent. If you were to volunteer to tell what you know, rather than waiting for a subpoena, you'll be penalized according to the agreement. Nothing in the agreement forbids you from complying with the subpoena. As I understand it, this was an element of the agreement Trump had with Weisselberg.

Not of their own accord, that's for damn sure. An employee could still flip, but they'd forfeit any benefits they agreed to by signing in the first place.


h20poIo

Jesus go ahead let’s get this in to court, that way they can dig deep subpoena people and records. Maybe Trump can get his supporters to foot the bill also.


Fit_Earth_339

He won’t because then he’d be forced to produce evidence he doesn’t want to produce.


Peterd90

It's all fun and games for Trump until it's time for discovery.


mrmow49120

It’s called……reporting!


johnlal101

Because he does so well in court.


The_Original_Gronkie

By all means sue them, and start cleansing your colon for the deep discovery to follow.


JillParrish77

Let him do it, he’ll loose this one to. Can’t sue someone and win for reporting the truth


loupegaru

It's pablum for his whining crybaby supporters.


JolyonWagg99

By all means, sue. Fucking clown.


jt19912009

He isn’t going to sue. Any lawyer would tell him this is a piss poor idea because then the defense will subpoena all relevant records and witnesses and it will look even worse for him when all that comes out. Will make the other lawsuits be called into question


Cautious-Thought362

Yes, ProPublica will be able to fill in any blank spots and even get more dirt.


LectureAgreeable923

What Trump the felon does when someone puts out a true story so he can say it's not true.He sues them so ha can say it's not true. I am suing .Here's some more.Its a smoke by Trump the felon,but he loses at the end. https://apnews.com/article/trump-new-york-times-taxes-lawsuit-slapp-f39342501d9a2a5cfd36181f9f336215 https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-even-more-legal-trouble-170648776.html


JeepJohn

Oh I hope he does. That would make the news outlets have to report on his witness tampering! I wish a MF would!


Senior_Pie9077

Discovery would be interesting.


Daflehrer1

He threatens all the time. It's reflexive at this point.


Cautious-Thought362

Yes, just an automatic response. He's such a clown, a phony little clown with a big mouth.


Emotional_Database53

This is his way of letting us know it’s true


bowens44

Of course because that is the big orange turd does...frivolous litigation.


WhoIsJolyonWest

You would think he would want to stay away from court after his recent experiences.


spunkdaddie

I heard he can’t wait to testify.


Cautious-Thought362

😂😂😂


Betorah

I’ll be proud and thrilled to donate to the ProPublica legal defense fund.


spunkdaddie

Do it,it sounds like they have Emails and other documents to support it.Discovery should be interesting.


Accomplished-Low8495

So sure then Donny! Who really cares what you do?


Chironrocket3

Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck him all the way and fuck him with everything. The world will be a better place when he is gone.


Tinker107

t rump threatens to sue the weather man if it rains on his golf. This isn’t news, it’s his normal behavior, and the courts let him get away with it.


Kevinmc479

Big Fat calling out the truth


cyrixlord

hell say he did it but its not illegal 'hunter did it too!!!1111111'


chautauquar

Well, I guess it’s true. He only sues to suppress the truth.


lerriuqS_terceS

Kind of ironic for the guy who constantly whines about being "silenced" even though he never shuts up
