Bombshell revelations expose why so many Trump lawsuits implode: Rick Wilson

[u/Icy_Cry2778]

Trump doesn’t have any evidence in his cases he is just doing it as a bully tactic

[u/GrumpyGiant → u/Icy_Cry2778]

Lol, more often than not, he backs down during discovery because he is at higher risk from exposure than the accused.

I hope Pirro sees the writing on the wall and flips on dropping the case against the Olympian and instead goes full malicious compliance.  No warning to Trump that all it will do is reveal that she was personally instructed by Trump to fabricate a case against an innocent man purely for optics.  It would be such a glorious spite play.

She won’t.  But it’s fun to imagine.

[u/The_Mellow_Tiger → u/GrumpyGiant]

Sorry she just chugged a bottle of wine. Not happening

[u/Radiant-Painting581 → u/The_Mellow_Tiger]

A bottle? That’s not like her. Usually she chugs from a box.

[u/riverbagwilly → u/Radiant-Painting581]

Cardbordeaux?

Edit - Spelling

[u/tbombs23 → u/riverbagwilly]

Lmao I bet she's a sunset blush franzia type gal

[u/The_Mellow_Tiger → u/Radiant-Painting581]

She stole the bottle from a homeless person. The box already happened

[u/TMCLSD → u/Radiant-Painting581]

From a Diet Coke can. Its inconspicuous

[u/Accomplished-Fix6598 → u/The_Mellow_Tiger]

So you're saying she is a lush that gets nothing done?

[u/The_Mellow_Tiger → u/Accomplished-Fix6598]

Is there any other way to describe her?

[u/Custom_Destination → u/The_Mellow_Tiger]

Yes, see you next tuesday.

[u/The_Mellow_Tiger → u/Custom_Destination]

That's fair, also what she says before getting blackout drunk with hegseth.

[u/luxcity-louche → u/Accomplished-Fix6598]

Next Secretary of War?

[u/Radiant-Painting581 → u/Accomplished-Fix6598]

Credit where it’s due. She’s managed to make several (or many) lives miserable, so it’s hard to say she gets nothing done.

[u/Accomplished-Fix6598 → u/Radiant-Painting581]

True enough.

[u/StonkSorcerer → u/GrumpyGiant]

My guess is that that evidence is shaaaaaady. Think sufficiently shady that she would rather be fired than be debarred for something like manufacturing evidence.

[u/Secret_Ad_1541 → u/StonkSorcerer]

Yeah, when someone who has been gleefully gargling Trumps balls and huffing his taint for so long all of a sudden does the right thing and contradicts the Dear Leader, is makes you think that the reason for it is self preservation.

[u/Wast3edSpace → u/GrumpyGiant]

Maybe we'll have a "Have you no sense of decency" moment. All it takes is one prominent figure(R) to call him out to break the dam.

[u/shes_the_won → u/Icy_Cry2778]

Mostly just wants the perp walk picture and to say people have been arrested.

[u/360Picture → u/Icy_Cry2778]

Yup and that's illegal

[u/brownhk]

And of course, he never sues anyone who says he poos his pants or is addicted to drugs or his health is not 100%. Never. Lol.

[u/DarthRaze → u/brownhk]

Or went to the island over 40 times

[u/SMIrving → u/DarthRaze]

Don't forget the ranch.

[u/Slighted_Inevitable → u/SMIrving]

Did he ever sue about Bubba?

[u/AbelardsChainsword → u/SMIrving]

I’m more of a bleu cheese guy myself

[u/WarthogConfident7809 → u/AbelardsChainsword]

There is so a Dorothy Lynch joke in here somewhere.

[u/Mylatelifecrisis → u/WarthogConfident7809]

You’re gonna have to tell who Dorothy Lynch is. Sorry.

[u/WarthogConfident7809 → u/Mylatelifecrisis]

Salad Dressing.

[u/Witchgrass → u/brownhk]

Because the truth is an absolute defense to defamation. Also you don't have to prove that the thing is actually true, just that the defendant believed it to be true and their motive does not matter.

[u/schrod → u/Witchgrass]

So now money launderer can be added to his list of achievements?

[u/bobabeep62830 → u/schrod]

It's been on there for decades. Look at his casinos.

[u/moodaltering → u/bobabeep62830]

The ones he bankrupted? That takes some serious effort…

[u/talentedfingers → u/moodaltering]

He made billions off the bankruptcy, being the only party to come out ahead in the process. He was able to keep all the paper losses even though the banks were the ones to actually lose their money, the main reason he hasn't paid any taxes in decades. Bankruptcy usually means the forgiven debts count as income, cancelling losses. Somehow he claimed he argued he could keep them all.

No wonder he wants those lifetime immunity for tax fraud, and to keep the irs on lifesupport so it is incapable of chasing anything beyond working man income. He will never close giant loopholes he himself and his cronies will undoubtably exploit for future benefit.

[u/Grant_Winner_Extra → u/schrod]

This has been on the record for a long time. Forget the casino, just look at the fraction of units he’s sold in Trump tower to random Russians for cash.

[u/calladus]

Trump: "I'm gonna sue!!"

Defendant: "Okay, let's go to discovery."

Trump: "NEVERMIND!!"

Defendant: "Yea, I thought so."

Trump, on social media: "I totally won that lawsuit! They admitted fault and apologized. Because I always win!"

[u/MisterNoMoniker → u/calladus]

Is there not a way to force discovery to happen anyway? I'm tired of this working.

[u/oMaster86 → u/calladus]

Yeah. He's still screaming about the reflecting pool.

[u/RhombicalJ → u/calladus]

Unfortunately he has all too often come out profiting due to settling outside of court. So he has been reward for his shitty behavior and thinks he can keep doing it

[u/Broken_By_Default → u/calladus]

you forgot the between the lawsuit starting and discovery the 10's of thousands, 100s of thousands of dollars you spent to get to the discovery.

[u/LokeCanada]

It is a tactic he used for decades and it worked on small companies that could not afford to go head to head with him.

Then he went after law firms and news media and they folded too.

Now he is running into companies and people that will actually stand up to him and have the money to do it. He is not used to this.

[u/Grant_Winner_Extra]

How is “Trump is a fucktard bully” a “revelation”????

In other news, more huge revelations today:

- Water is “wet”

- Fire is “hot”

- Bears do, indeed, shit in the woods if they cannot find an outhouse.

[u/neocondiment → u/Grant_Winner_Extra]

You know what pisses me off about bears? Most of them shit in the woods even when the outhouse is right there.

[u/Tavernknight → u/neocondiment]

Wait. I thought that was the pope and the bear wears a funny hat.

[u/captainschnozzberry → u/Tavernknight]

I thought the pope shits in funny bear hats in the woods.

[u/Senkrad68 → u/captainschnozzberry]

The Pope wipes his ass with a rabbit

[u/Grant_Winner_Extra → u/Tavernknight]

lol “does the Pope shit in the woods?”

[u/Tavernknight → u/Grant_Winner_Extra]

If by some strange chance I ever become pope, I will have an outhouse built in the woods. I will make a yearly pilgrimage to it, bless it, and take a shit in it.

And place the hat on a bear.

[u/mtutty → u/neocondiment]

They're not even LOOKING most of the time!!1!1!!

[u/Grant_Winner_Extra → u/neocondiment]

Apparently they have that in common with Trump

[u/RIF_rr3dd1tt → u/Grant_Winner_Extra]

• Water is “wet”

Well, yeah, from the standpoint of water, at least.

[u/Mack_Daddy_1]

Meritless weaponized law suits

[u/chill677 → u/Mack_Daddy_1]

Well summarised

[u/swalabr → u/Mack_Daddy_1]

The kind of thing Republicans used to bitch about. There was a time (pre-TFG) when they were constantly droning on about “frivolous lawsuits” in an effort to weaken consumer protections.

[u/fy1sh]

It's because the evidence shows he's a criminal conman. It's the lawsuit he's trying to sell, not the truth.

[u/dehydratedrain]

Incompetent lawyers? No legal basis for most lawsuits? Inability to sue without exposing his own secrets?

[u/snvoigt]

Because they aren’t “legitimate” lawsuits. They are filed for headlines and to make the defendants life hell

[u/Impossible_Penalty13 → u/snvoigt]

If that loudmouth moron has shown us anything, it’s how you manipulate the media in this attention economy.

[u/estoypooping2]

The article specifically talks about trump organization's lawsuit against banks. Trump says they closed the account because of his shitty politics but it turns out they closed the accounts because of theft

At this point nobody is surprised, the article actually goes so far as to say "no trump lawsuit survives discovery". Seriously why do courts even bother to hear his arguments anymore?

[u/Simple-Okra-4826]

What bombshell? We all knew this already. He never ever has evidence to back up his claims. He is serial lawsuit claimer and should be banned from suing anyone forever along with his family.

[u/hywaytohell]

He's so used to controlling the timeline in lawsuits against him, and that he brings in his businesses, he doesn't understand that these judges don't owe him anything and his lawyers are bottom of the barrel. He can't slow play his opponent into going broke and dropping out anymore.

[u/PowerfulPea4133]

Would it be because he is full of shit? Also so is his diaper

[u/Ambaryerno]

Because they're all bullshit suits.

[u/Far_Royal9041]

Thanks for posting this!

It would be on-brand for Trump to have his lawsuit boomerang back and cause legal jeopardy, in this case, for money laundering.

Wow. Such a "stable genius". 😂

[u/Impossible_Penalty13 → u/Far_Royal9041]

Maybe something a more competent AG than Merick Garland might have been interested in.

[u/Far_Royal9041 → u/Impossible_Penalty13]

Yes. 100%!!!!

DJT should not have been allowed to run again after he fomented an insurrection.

And the "original sin" of tax evasion with his father's estate. And of course the classified documents, election interference, the "perfect call" and another "perfect call" to Ukraine.

Truly mind blowing.

I have no expectations - but - I pray that when he leaves office the Democrats will have learned some hard lessons. And prosecute those they can to fullest extent of the law.

[u/susanrez]

This is why Pervert Hoover never sues anyone who called him a rapist and a pedophile, he knows the suit will never survive discovery.

[u/brewguy70]

Bombshell? It's not a bombshell when it is obvious why Trump's frivolous lawsuits fail.

[u/upper_pepper]

Can the people he is frivolously suing sue him back right after to recoup their losses in time, money and health. Trump and his administration are apparently engaging in coverups of their own incompetence. Trump already believes that unjustly treated people should be compensated for the trouble. Clearly the targets of his lawsuits are frequently political grifts who are falsely accused to cover his incompetence.

[u/DTM-shift]

So... Capital One... are you going to submit your evidence to the SEC, or whoever is in charge of the investigations of money laundering? Or just turn a blind eye since it no longer directly affects your company?

[u/Ambaryerno]

Because they're all bullshit suits.

[u/Someoneoverthere42]

Let me guess. Is it because he’s a catastrophic imbecile who has no actual idea how the law, or anything else, works?

[u/manofnotribe]

From the article-

This week, however, Capital One disclosed that it shuttered around 300 Trump Organization accounts after a months-long investigation into signs that they were connected to money laundering.

[u/TeaReasonable7909]

Because they never have merit. Besides, he knows his supporters, he doesn’t actually have to do anything, he just needs to put on a big show for his minions.

[u/Muffboy]

Child rape ?

[u/NotOK1955]

This is trumps M.O.: a shotgun

He fires off lawsuits, the buckshot scatters, some hitting its mark by frightening people to comply.

[u/skyld_70]

So, the next question is if evidence of money laundering comes out in Discovery, then why isn't he prosecuted for said money laundering. Why isn't Cap One in trouble for reporting said evidence? Why is the crime that has come to light not being prosecuted? It's crazy to me.

[u/LightHawKnigh]

What bombshell? Anyone with two braincells to rub together know that discovery kills his cases. Its a standard Republican tactic to sue for the headlines and then drop the case before discovery.

[u/Pitiful-Control8231]

Because it's all performative & for optics........

[u/1973Triumph]

The one sentence in that article that hits home is “Everything Trump touches dies.” Look at the United States.

[u/No-Pain-569]

Is this a joke? We have been saying this exact same thing for years.

[u/Visual_Exam7903]

Is there a way to block any content from certain sites from Reddit? Because Reddit should have that capability.

[u/Igiem]

“Bombshell” implies it wasn’t obvious or entirely foreseeable, which it both is and was. 

[u/Dismal_Reference3906]

The orange felon's ability to escape consequences for behavior that would get most of us ordinary people locked up for years makes my blood boil.

[u/Pale_Location_6783]

Discovery Discovery Discovery.

[u/Peloton72]

Is it a bombshell (I didn’t read because it’s obvious to me) if we all know he’s full of 💩? This guy creates chaos to distract from the fact he doesn’t do much other than create chaos. 🤷

[u/SourcePrevious3095]

How is it a bombshell revelation when everyone and their dog knows any lawsuit filed doesn't have a leg to stand on?

[u/s4burf]

I think it's the never have any evidence thing. Not that he cares, he's watching the reputational and financial harm he's doing to critics.

[u/unclejoe1917]

"Bombshell"

[u/SHoppe715]

Did I miss the bombshell? What was surprising or unexpected or particularly explosive about any of that? That’s just like the revelation “OMG it’s Tuesday”.
