After moving to throw out the “entire” case, arguing that Trump couldn’t establish jurisdiction and failed to state a claim, the BBC defendants anticipated that extensive Jan. 6-related discovery would show Trump can’t “prove that he did not foment or incite the January 6 Capitol riot.”

“[H]e cannot now prevent Defendants from seeking records that would shed light on his true knowledge, intent, and state of mind in delivering his speech at the Ellipse,” the defendants argued.

    I read something years ago (probably pre-apprentice) about how Trump loved to bring lawsuits against people because the opposition would just go away due to the cost of even arguing them.

    Now it seems that he’s been picking fights with people that will see these things through and he doesn’t like it.

    It’s almost like he’s a baby of a bully. Who talks tough but then cries as soon as it doesn’t go his way…
