Sounds more like a public relations stunt than an actual filing.

3. How long before he attacks the AG,

Claiming something really stupid and false like he's done to many others. HE's so arrogant he thinks he and his family are entitled to break the laws at will and without ever having consequences. He thinks they are above the rule of law already, and free to do as they please illegally . This won't end well for any of the trumps , as they get fully exposed for all their crimes ,especially for treason against our country. Justice is coming after them all , and he's freaking out and desperate because he can't stop it.

I want to see him swing from a yardarm for the crimes he has committed so far...to say nothing of the barrel of them coming as this gets closer to jailing his princess and her beau as well...

Fuck them all, seriously I want the Trump surname to be synonymous with Hitler or Himmler or Ghering ... anathema in polite company forever more.

4. That's akin to a defense I heard in traffic court for a speeding ticket

The defense was "Not guilty, someone had just passed me, so I wasn't speeding as much as others."

The judge appeared to not believe the passing statement was true, adding that "your statement is in conflict with your not guilty plea. Do you have any other defense? No? Guilty."

11. New York Attorney General: No Backing Down On Trump Lawsuit

Where did trump find an attorney stupid enough to make these claims https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/new-york-attorney-general-no-backing-down-on-trump-foundation-lawsuit

NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyers for President Donald Trump asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit brought against his charitable foundation by New York’s attorney general, arguing that it was politically motivated.

In the motion Thursday, Trump attorney Alan S. Futerfas argued that former New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman “made it his stated mission to ‘lead the resistance’ and attack Mr. Trump whenever possible” and “used his public antipathy for Mr. Trump to solicit donations for his own re-election campaign and advance his career interests and aspirations.”

Trump very publicly announced his intention to dissolve the foundation and donate all of its remaining funds to charity, but the AG “actively stonewalled dissolution,” Futerfas wrote.

“At the same time, the NYAG turned a blind eye to serious and significant allegations of misconduct involving the Clinton Foundation, including claims that it, and its subsidiaries, violated New York law by failing to disclose $225 million in donations from foreign governments,” Futerfas wrote.

The NY AG is not going to back down here

In a statement Thursday, the attorney general’s office said it won’t back down from “holding Trump and his associates accountable for their flagrant violations of New York law.”

“As our lawsuit detailed, the Trump Foundation functioned as a personal piggy bank to serve Trump’s business and political interests,” the statement said.
