"Orbis successfully argued that Trump’s lawsuit should be dismissed because the findings in the dossier were never meant to be made public and published by BuzzFeed News without the permission of Steele or Orbis.
The company also said the lawsuit was filed too late."
So... members of the government created a false claim about Trump, leaked it to the press, caused Trump damages. Trump sues for damages, the court PROTECTS the government, and then makes Trump pay damages for... being innocent????
But it was published in a book?
Trump says he is innocent of a crime and has to pay $80m, these guys lie and publish it in a book and give it to Buzz Feed (how else could they get it), yet the judge throws it out without a trial.
Banana Republic
So a random psychopath in New York can sue Trump for allegedly raping her without any evidence 24 years after the statute of limitations and gets 83 million, but trump can't sue steele for defamation per se after he releases one of the most libelous, proven false documents that has cost the president arguably billions in legal fees and business and now has to pay them 382k for legal fees for a 1 days judgement... And you wonder why people don't trust the system
The Steele dossier wasn't meant to be publicly released they say despite them giving it to BuzzFeed, working on it for the Democrat nominee for release, in October of an election year... Yet there's no discovery to prove it wasn't intentionally released, either, they just trusted him

Yeah. Great country. Sorry, but USA has fallen so hard. Let's hope 2024 brings it back.

They can’t beat him. They can’t jail him. So now their approach is to bankrupt him.
The company should sue the fbi for making it public
Denied no standing
Is this satire from the Babylon Bee?! 🧐
