For at least the fifth time, former President Donald Trump on Monday lost an attempt to dismiss his civil fraud case through a maneuver seeking a directed verdict in his favor.

In tossing Trump’s latest challenge, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron reminded the former president that “a lie is still a lie.”

    Frivolous lawsuits are actually rare. Much like most news, we only hear about the crazy shit, because it’s crazy shit.

    Local AM radio lawyer talks about this a good deal. These lawyers are not bringing stupid shit before these judges, who they know and have to work with. Keep fucking around and they face sanctions and disbarment.

    Trump’s lawyers do not seem to get this. I’m not saying the state bar should kick their ass for representing the man. But can we get a little more action here?

      Any lawyer still with Donnie has given up on a legal career. They are going to be media personalities, either getting paid by the Left to tell anti-Trump stories or by the Right to keep on defending him by maligning the system.
