Welp, on the one hand it’s obviously a crime.
But on the other more bigly important and not at all tiny hand, it’s just a dumb box of papers and nobody gives a shit aside from the 12 of us morons left that care about criming.

His consultants might be able to convince him that DeSantis and Trump will split the deplorable vote, while he’ll have the Romney lane to himself. They may also convince him the Romney lane is wide enough to win, since their ability to collect a couple month’s paychecks will depend on it.

His defense is that he was POTUS at the time he made the defamatory comments he’s being sued over. Twitter law points out that defense doesn’t apply if he doubles down on the defamation as FPOTUS.

I’ve mentioned this several times before on the forum, it’s a common trick that bad actors use to capitalize on people’s instincts. People are hardwired to distrust people that hide things and trust people that are open and transparent. This is a good instinct and it works 99%+ of the time, but professional bullshitter types like Trump go their whole lives saying “yeah I did the thing so what that just makes me smart” and the vast majority of people will have an instinctive reaction to think “well, it can’t have actually been that bad if he’s not trying to hide it”. It absolutely shouldn’t work on important illegal stuff, but it absolutely does work on the rubes. Fox will get way more traction with completely made up WHAT ARE THE CLINTONS HIDING stories than Dems will ever get with LOOK TRUMP FREELY ADMITS HE DID THE BAD THING narratives.
