trump has a long history of starting frivolous lawsuits against those who cannot afford to fight him in court. Nobody knows this better than Michael Cohen.
But things are different now. As public officials, trump's family of crooks and liars cannot simply sue anyone who hurts their feelings.
The latest episode involves a Lincoln Project billboard in the city that told trump to take a hike, and sent him fleeing to Florida. Said board depicts Jaronka making light of the trump virus.
Neither are impressed with the billboard, and daddy has sent his lawyer to demand that it be taken down.
Unfortunately, trump's lawyers tend to share his incompetence. The Lincoln Project lawyers laughed, and thumbed their collective noses at Marc Kasowitz. As happens often.
The response to the threatened lawsuit is epic:
LOL...'empty bluster'. That's trump's 'go to' move.An attorney for The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump GOP group, sent a scathing legal response Saturday to a lawsuit threat over a pair of attack ads against Ivanka Trump and husband Jared Kushner on billboards in Times Square.
The billboards skewer Donald Trump’s daughter and son-in-law for their callous indifference to the COVID-19 death toll in America, which now stands at nearly 225,000.
The Lincoln Project received a letter Friday from lawyer Marc Kasowitz, representing the White House senior advisers, demanding that the “false, malicious and defamatory” ads be removed or “we will sue you for what will doubtless be enormous compensatory and punitive damages.”
The responding missive from Lincoln Project attorney Matthew Sanderson fired back: “Please peddle your scare tactics elsewhere. The Lincoln Project will not be intimidated by such empty bluster.”
OUCH!!!Sanderson added: “Your clients are no longer Upper East Side socialites, able to sue at the slightest offense to their personal sensitivities.” They are “public officials” due to a “gross act of nepotism” when Donald Trump made them both White House advisers.
Americans “have the right to discuss and criticize their public officials freely,” Sanderson schools Kasowitz, citing a Supreme Court ruling defending even “vehement, caustic and ... unpleasantly sharp attacks” of government officials.
In addition, the attack ads are “entirely accurate,” Sanderson noted. Kasowitz had claimed that Kushner never said, as the billboard notes, that it’s “their problem” that New Yorkers are suffering from COVID-19.
Translation: Bring it on!!!Ivanka Trump’s “bruised self-image does not change the fact that this billboard accurately depicts her support of a federal response that has utterly failed to prevent an unmitigated tragedy for the United States,” Sanderson snapped.
The Lincoln Project is looking forward to deposing all relevant witnesses and a courtroom confrontation, so “sue if you must,” Sanderson challenged.
