Trump Sues CNN For $475M

He's saying the network had defamed him in an effort to short-circuit any future political campaign.

The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, focuses primarily on the term “The Big Lie” about Trump’s false claims of widespread fraud that he says cost him the 2020 presidential election to Joe Biden.

That means trump will be subject to discovery and deposition. That would be fun but trump is a horrible client. Any attorney foolish enough to accept him as a client has learned to be paid upfront. What makes him a bad client? He won't shut up. By the time trump's check clears he is fired as a client. His diarrhea mouth is never helpful except for extracting money from his goons.

@Crazywaterspring This one, though has almost no chance of getting past the motion to dismiss stage and into discovery, even if he pulls another sympathetic district court judge.

There's practically no allegations of false factual statements even made in the Complaint. It reads like it was designed as a hail Mary or even a Big Ben to Thomas to gut the First Amendment, without even a receiver running a sideline pattern to stop the clock.

Maybe Trump thinks it's half time?
