This is why you don’t sue for defamation on a whim or purely for the attention.

“Charles Harder does Stormy Daniels”

Well, anyone still working as a lawyer for trump these days is probably already building up his own defense fund.

or a sequel " stormin the oval orifice" “with a vengeance”.

Any lawyer working for Trump will probably need lawyers and those lawyers will need some as well.

Trump has a track record for screwing most of his service providers (literally and figuratively) so you’ve got to bill while the billing is good.

“A total victory!!” except for the fact that your client literally just admitted, yesterday, to paying Stormy Daniels off. Might want to check Twitter, Mr Attorney.

This seems like information got muddled. SD wouldn’t have to pay sanctions caused by an attorney’s misconduct, and even then she would pay the court, not DT’s attorneys.

I think it’s weird that defamation laws are written in a way where being a publicly visible ignorant asshole is an amazing advantage, as is spending as much money as possible on a lawyer.

For once, I’m fantastically happy that we Americans noped other countries in a fit of anti-internationalism. It makes it easier to write about David Avocado Wolfe and other such jackasses without worrying you’ll get sued out of house and home.

The sad part is that this will play well with Trump’s base because they all think that $300,000 is a lot of money.

Well, look at Mr. Moneybags here…
