It looks like coup racketeer and one- man crime spree Malignant Loser is going to have to provide testimony in two civil lawsuits, one brought by former FBI official Pete Strzok against the Department of Justice and the other a defamation suit by the Malignant Loser against his former lawyer Michael Cohen.
An appellate court won’t block former president Donald Trump from being questioned under oath in a lawsuit brought by two former FBI employees who say his administration persecuted them for political reasons.
The Justice Department sought to block Trump from being compelled to answer questions about the handling of text messages between FBI attorney Lisa Page and FBI agent Peter Strzok that exposed their opposition to his candidacy and their personal relationship. The two are suing the Justice Department, not Trump, but say the former president was inappropriately involved in how they were treated.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson allowed for the two-hour deposition earlier this year, saying that Trump’s repeated public statements about the pair justifies further probing of whether he pressured the Justice Department to retaliate against them after the investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit on Friday denied an emergency petition from the Justice Department to block Berman Jackson’s ruling. Absent another appeal, Trump’s deposition will now go forward. The former president has not intervened to prevent the deposition...
The DOJ has already obstructed enough; no CYA legalese should override the rights of the plaintiffs to a full disclosure of the politicization of the Department under the Malignant Loser. Good for Judge Berman Jackson and the appellate court.
Trump has filed a $500 Million federal lawsuit against Cohen in the Southern District of Florida to exact revenge against Cohen, Trump's one time lawyer and fixer, now a prominent witness against Trump, to send a message against other witnesses against Trump.
Cohen responded to the lawsuit by requesting a deposition of Trump, which was agreed to by a federal judge and then scheduled for September 6th.
Trump, predictably, complained to the judge about being deposed in the lawsuit that he brought. This despite that fact that Trump's lawsuit against Cohen is so broad that any attorney worth their salt would request that Trump be deposed to provide details.
The deposition will now go forward and, given his track record in filing frivolous defamation lawsuits (e.g., against E. Jean Carroll, CNN, etc.), the Malignant Loser will (spoiler alert) lose. In providing testimony, the Malignant Loser continues to be his own worst enemy, an egocentric moron incapable of telling the truth and as likely as not to further incriminate himself.
We don't need to belabor why he continues to lose these defamation lawsuits. After all, there's almost nothing bad or sordid that you can say about the Malignant Loser that isn't true.
