is anyway barred under the statute of limitations, or whatever they call it over there.

So basically the only purpose this lawsuit serves is to remind of everyone of the pee tape, which almost no one has thought about since like 2018.

I will never get over not having that leaked to the public. Just promises dribbling out here and there.

Can't wait for Trump to try and take the Fifth. In England.

"and to prove, by evidence at trial, that the data are false"

There is no way Trump actually said or wrote this. Most Americans don't understand that "data" is the plural of "datum," let alone Donald Trump.

That might be the only useful piece of information that I retain from four years of high school Latin.

No he didn't. Or more precisely, he may have made mouth noises like that, but he did not originate it. No way he knows that the word "data" is plural.

Oh for fuck's sake.

The UK doesn't have libel laws. England and Wales do. Scotland does. Norn Iron does.

Britain doesn't have a High Court. England and Wales do.

Also; too, Hugh Tomlinson is head and shoulders above Trump's usual lawyers, and hilarious as the jokes are, he will be being paid and probably up front. He will be well aware of everything his client has said and done. He is an actual, working, KC not a political one.

Trump -used- to have good lawyers here, too.

We’ll see how long Tomlinson lasts before he cuts bait and gets out of there.

Skimmed his wiki. Top notch defamation lawyer.

Didn't know about the "naked" Melania Trump phone call, and could have done without knowing, but Jesus this sleaze seems to be heavily into making creepy remarks and attention plays on the Howard Stern show. That was where he bragged in unseemly terms about his daughter's physical attractiveness, and when Stern responded, "So, a piece of ass ... can I say that?" Trump said, "Yeah."

Any normal father would have broken Stern's jaw, or at least said coldly, "That's my daughter you are talking about; this interview is over." And walked out.

But of course, "normal father" is a category that does not include Trump.

"Normal husband" either.

Yeah, and that's exactly why a lot of people don't have a hard time believing the Moscow story. He's a creep and you can't put it past him.

He is a barrister. He has to take on clients under the cab rank rule if he's competent for the case and being adequately compensated.

Haven't you read the news? You must be going to the wrong mommy-blog/recipe websites.

Try somewhere deep, deep in reddit, or 4chan, or someplace 'like that.'
