Trump Campaign Sues New York Times Over 2019 Opinion Article

What insurance company would pay a plaintiff's legal costs in a case like this?

Read their contracts. If you have a contract saying the carrier will pay if you sue, then they pay.

In my case, I did not sue. I was sued.I won.

Complete BS..... Who would issue a policy to cover any hair brained lawsuit someone thought up...
 
Where the hell did that come from?

The Trump Campaign, not the president, sued the Times.

I listened to Judge Napolitano give his prediction and he says the Campaign has no standing in this matter and believes the court will dismiss the Campaigns suit. So it is not done by Trump.

I believe the Judge is accurate. Standing is vital in all court cases. I am surprised the Campaign sued.

Trump says more will follow. But he has to personally sue.

So you can't explain the reason that Trump secretly tried to remove Russian sanctions either? Are you saying the Trump campaign sued without Trumps knowledge and approval? Most likely it was his idea when he was told he would need to provide evidence that the accusations were false. Of course he has none.
 
You would say that, because she married a black man; your ass can't stand that fact... but what you don't know.. is "she pursued integrity and found it in the man she choose to have a child with; ... one man she never would have chosen is "YOU"...

Obama's dad was quite likely smarter than you when he was in the 4th or 5th grade... and between Obama's Mom and Obama's Dad... their son became PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES........ not only is it something YOU will never achieve... its not likely you'd get chosen as a neighborhood block watch captain... I think that, about sums up the bias and bigoted idiocy of your comment.

Are you bawling your eyes out? Hell had I known you were that easily offended, I could have removed some words to pretend he is not black.

Bigoted you say? What you said is a fine example of being a bigot.
 
I doubt I could possibly explain to you.

Why bother? If you think the worst president in history, when there is a plethora of evidence to that fact ( the primary one being when words evacuate from his mouth ) is the best president, how could I possibly explain it to you?

I fight with a multitude of Trump fans on this forum, a few of whom are trolls, just like Trump is.

I'll tell you this, the most important quality of a great president is one who does not troll the opposition. Trump does that daily, only cements the hatred opposing groups have for each other, which, in congress and the senate, creates a spirit of meanness where cooperation is in short supply.

Compare that to the days before Gingrich, when the right decided power, the acquisition of by any means possible, was more important that cooperation, fair play, and the like, a spirit of evil and meanness which has flowered into the presidency of Trump. But, I don't know if you are old enough to have witnessed the decline into the abyss by the body politic. With Obama, I thought there was hope, he bent over backwards to get the right to cooperate, to work together, but they blocked him at every turn --- it was only that 2 month period of his entire 8 years where we had a filibuster proof senate and a majority in the house did anything significant get done.

If there is any doubt about this, it ended with how McConnell stole (albeit legally by a technicality, no way in hell can you tell me "advise can consent" was meant by the framers to disallow even a hearing for a judicial appointment ) a Senate seat by not giving an honorable, very qualified, Judicial appointment ( Merrick Garland ) a hearing ( surely, he, given his life time of service, earned that much ). After Garland, any democrat that doesn't understand that the right are evil, that Trump is the flowering of that evil, is blind.

And don't confuse constructive criticism with trolling, they not the same.

One thing is certain, things will not get better in America until we get take power out of the hands of republicans who, though once upon a time, an honorable organization, have become a runaway criminal enterprise, and, as such, are a threat to national security on a number of levels.

The sad truth is, they have engaged in voter suppression via an assortment of methods, plus stacking the courts so that they an get way with it, such that Democrats have to garner at least a 10% margin of victory (or thereabouts, apparently 3 million votes is not enough ) to win the presidency.

And that's just evil, right there, because it thwarts the will of the people.

Some of your posts are a little long, which doesn't bother me, but they're really good. Just wanted to say I appreciate your contributions, without regard to whether or not I agree with them.

I am virtually positive that had the person doing this, not been Trump, but Obama or Hillary, you would fight to the death to defend either.

In my case, I am very different. Who put you in charge of asking me about a myth? Who told you that if there were removals, said would be secret? Anyway, I believe as to foreign policy all presidents have the ability to sanction nations or eliminate them. You claim tried. Seems you can't say this was done.
 
That is simply not true.

I have screen shots of the Mueller report and if you look at page 5, I believe you will note it stays no cooperation or collusion between Trump, his team or the Russians.

Sorry but just becasue Mueller did not find proof "beyond a reasonable doubt "does not mean there is not any evidence of cooperation between Trump and Russia. There is plenty of evidence including 100's of contacts with Russian operatives and the sharing of internal campaign poll data with a Russian agent. Muller was looking for a signed agreement and that did not exist. How can you prove there wast a "wink and a nod" agreement? Actually the best evidence is Trump's efforts to remove Russian sanctions as soon as he took office. It sure looks like Trump was fulfilling some kind of agreement with Putin don't you think? What is your explanation?

My explanation is I post for a different reason than you post. I felt my comments were clear, you claim to have the Mueller document and I gave you directions where he reported no collusion.

Thus that ends our chat on this. What else is on your mind? I would go at Schiff were I you. You seem to have this idea Mueller found guilt on Trump. Schiff was not interested so he chose other things to try to unseat our president. Fortunately justice worked well in the Senate.

Presidents have the authority to sanction and remove them.

So you believe Congress acted unanimously to pass a bill stripping Trump of the ability to remove Russian sanctions because of a "myth"? Hardly. Trump's secret efforts to were well known in D.C. and it was done with no reciprocal change in the Russian policies that caused the sanctions to be applied. It sure seemed like a reward for the Russian help and that is why he tried to do it secretly.

Presidents do not have the"authority" to remove sanctions as a reward for help in an election and Congress had to pass a bill and make Trump sign it so that would be clear to him. You can ignore all the evidence you want but the truth is that Trump's actions are the proof of his guilt. Trump knows this and is trying to rewrite history to absolve himself. Next he will be claiming he invented the school desk so that children may learn. :lol:

You totally changed what all that actually did happen. If you do that to books you buy, the endings will sure be much different. I do accept this much. Russians were charged. Putin was not.

If you pull a bonehead move to mess with Russia's elections, nobody should blame Trump for what you did. Same rules for Russia. But until a court says guilt, all we got from Mueller was several charges.

No finding of fact to date has established that any efforts by Russia mattered at all. They blew hot air the way I saw this. Nothing but hot air.

Will you please TOTALLY read all articles you post here FIRST?

God, that article never said Trump removed a damned thing. They chat all the time of doing this vs that.

The Mueller Report confirms and demonstrates collusion, and a lot of it, between the twump campaign and Russia. You clearly haven't read it, so why lie about it?

Yes, why lie about it?

The investigation did not, however, yield evidence sufficient to sustain any charge that any individual affiliated with the Trump Campaign acted as an agent of a foreign principal within the meaning of FARA or, in terms of Section 951, subject to the direction or control of the government of Russia, or any official thereof. In particular, the Office did not find evidence likely to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Campaign officials such as Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, and Carter Page acted as agents of the Russian government—or at its direction, control, or request—during the relevant time period.

The Office identified multiple contacts—“links,” in the words of the Appointment Order—between Trump Campaign officials and individuals with ties to the Russian government. The Office investigated whether those contacts constituted a third avenue of attempted Russian interference with or influence on the 2016 presidential election. In particular, the investigation examined whether these contacts involved or resulted in coordination or a conspiracy with the Trump Campaign and Russia, including with respect to Russia providing assistance to the Campaign in exchange for any sort of favorable treatment in the future. Based on the available information, the investigation did not establish such coordination.

Congress stopped him and you think that is an excuse? Why did he try.? We know why he failed.

Again you mistake the lack of evidence to "prove beyond a reasonable doubt" with no evidence at all. Winks and nods are extremely difficult to prove as any organized crime task force well knows. Often the only evidence is circumstantial and often it is only a "snitch" that makes the case. Trumps people went to jail instead of snitching and Trump refused to testify at all to Mueller. Still the efforts Trump made to remove Russian sanctions as soon as was in office was quite a bit of "circumstantial" evidence of a deal with Putin don't you think?

What we keep finding out is that the agent's notes used to convict them keep turning up falsified. Gates is currently suing the FBI because they knowingly ignored of falsified his status with the CIA.

Regarding Papadopoulos: Devin Nunes: Mueller prosecutors should face criminal charges over Russia 'dirt' tipster

During an FBI interview at George’s Ice Cream & Sweets Coffee Shop in Chicago on Feb. 1, 2017, Papadopoulos said he’d Googled Mifsud following the Jan. 27, 2017, FBI interview and “identified many open source internet articles that related Mifsud to both Russia and the Kremlin.” Additionally, he told the FBI he “knew Mifsud to be an associate of a Russian discussion club.” Papadopoulos said “that Mifsud was … coordinating all things related to Russia at the London Centre of International Law Practice.” He told the investigators that “Mifsud recently reached out to Papadopoulos and indicated that he may be traveling to Washington, D.C., in February 2017.” Papadopoulos also offered to “potentially meet with Mifsud” when traveling to London three weeks later.

In a Feb. 10, 2017, interview at Breen and Pugh Attorneys at Law in Chicago, Papadopoulos said, “Mifsud told Papadopoulos that Clinton had a lot of problems and then made a specific reference to her having problems with her emails.” When Papadopoulos asked how Mifsud knew, Mifsud “strangely chuckled” and said, “They told me they have them.”

Devin is a Trump toady that has no credibility whatsoever and the circumstantial evidence against Trump is overwhelming. Answer my question. Why did Trump secretly try to remove Russian sanctions right after he took office if it wasn't part of an agreement with Putin? We know Flynn discussed removing sanctions with the Russian ambassador and lied about it. Why all the secrecy and lying?
 
Are you bawling your eyes out? Hell had I known you were that easily offended, I could have removed some words to pretend he is not black.

Bigoted you say? What you said is a fine example of being a bigot.

I'm not offended, I just called you on your B.S.!!! You don't matter enough for me to be offended by you.... You verified what I said.... (and you don't even know it) "Thank you"

The IG, Nunes and Schiff - WSJ

Schiff lied, Nunes didn't. So much for your credibility argument.
 
Yes, why lie about it?

Because Trump supporters don't have much choice. They're supporting a guy who literally scams money from children with cancer, who literally steals from charity, who literally brags about the women he's sexually assaulted, who literally brags about getting his sexual jollies peeping on naked women, some naked children.

Where I come from that's pedophilia, and when you support and defend that kind behavior, daily, as Evangelical Christians overwhelmingly do, lying is par for the course. It used to be referred to as "Lyin' for Jesus", now it's usually "Lyin' for Trump".

Donald Trump boasted about meeting semi-naked teenagers in beauty pageants
Four women who competed in the 1997 Miss Teen USA beauty pageant also said the Republican used to walk in. Some of the girls were as young as 15.
