Mueller aside, Trump now faces legal peril from a host of sources
​

Special counsel Robert Mueller’s criminal investigation into possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia may be the most high-profile probe circling President Trump in the aftermath of the 2016 election. But it is far from the only legal threat Mr. Trump is facing – and it may not even wind up being the most consequential.

Allegations about Trump campaign collusion, murky international business deals, and the president’s alleged encounters with various women, have given rise to a barrage of litigation in the civil courts as well.


Such lawsuits – filed by Russian oligarchs, the Democratic Party, and a porn star, among others – may seem like a distraction or a source of cable news entertainment. But legal experts warn that this kind of civil litigation could in fact pose grave risks to Mr. Trump and his presidency.


“This is very serious,” says Andrew Wright, a professor at Savannah Law School and a former White House lawyer during both the Clinton and Obama administrations.


“I think they’re under greater threat than the Clinton administration was at any time,” he says. “The Trump White House is in significantly greater legal peril.”

COMMENT:-
Of course the CSM is a part of the MSM and that means that it is one of those left-wing, loonie, socialist, liberal, commie, un-American, purveyors of FAKE NEWS so no one should pay any attention to anything that is in it.

Right?​

Okay then.

Of course they do.

They are designed to smear the Administration with all the standard allegations used to demonize the target of the special interests in order to achieve their ultimate goal...by any mean necessary.

It does not matter if they are true or not, have any basis in factually provable evidence or not.

Their sole purpose is to throw so much mud it both weakens the target while encouraging the faithful in their religious fervor to keep on the offensive.

Throw enough mud and the target will eventually be overwhelmed and disappear...at least that is the hope of such efforts anyway.

Is the insinuation that a legal expert who worked for Democrats is incapable of being fair to Republicans. What about a legal expert who worked for Republicans? Is he or she incapable of being fair to Democrats?

How many abortions would it take Trump have paid for to cause you to no longer support him?

What is your limit regarding emoluments and/or policy influence for personal gain regarding Donald Trump?

What it will take is some actual evidence of wrongdoing, not just hair-on-fire leftists screaming about every perceived outrage.

Oh, I see. We can't take anything a Democrat says seriously...

I have a suspicion that it still wouldn't be enough for you. Like Trump said, he could personally kill someone on the street in broad daylight and not lose supporters.

The Cohen/Zervos/Daniels discovery phases will tell us quite a bit.

Don't worry, it's all progressing.

Everything that's come out Mueller has known about months in advance. A large case like this with millions of pages of documents takes time to build.

If it was proven that he paid for all the abortions in the world he would be more blessed than Jesus for having taken on all the abortions so that nobody else could.

Of course they are. Republicans are completely non-partisan.

I believe the official position is that only a trump supporter who's signed an NDA and made a vow of loyalty to him can be trusted to speak on matters related to trump.

He could personally perform all the abortions and not lose the support of Christians.

But if he performed all the abortions then he'd put abortion clinics out of business! MAGA!!!

Which is the long way of saying that you have no evidence. Thanks.

Actually, he isn't. Trump's "I could shoot a man and not lose a supporter" moment came and went. It was so predictable by that point that barely anybody twitched. If Obama had done it it never would have left the news, but the standard for him continues to be stratosphere-high whereas if trump manages to avoid throwing his feces at a baby he's praised as the best President evar.

On the basis of what I can recall of your posting record, it would take several independently produced video recordings, from totally unimpeachable sources, in which Mr. Trump is not only seen to be committing a crime but actually self-identifying and boasting about what he was doing before you would concede that there just might possibly be some slim shred of potential evidence that he could possibly have accidentally done a deed that some people could confuse with something that might theoretically warrant the issuing of an indictment.

But maybe I judge you too harshly.

And you are just as wrong as rocket. Congrats.
