1. This suit was filed on 04/12/2023 -- according to the Court file stamp.

So who the heck is PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP? Have I missed a few years of my life? I thought for sure Joe Biden was POTUS.

Geeeeeeez, how lame do you have to be as an atty to use that particular title for tifg?

9. Those are articles...not legal pleadings.

As a lawyer, I would NEVER use a title for a litigant that was not actual and current at the time of the filing of the pleading. That is very different, IMO, than the use of a title in an article.

In essence, IMO again, the pleading is stating that a current and present litigant IS the President of the United States.

11. It's a title one keeps

Like Senator and a couple of others.

13. No it is not...

It is an HONORIFIC that people give someone who has served as President. It is not a legal TITLE. Nor is "FORMER PRESIDENT".

15. I boldly predict

That nobody in this lawsuit, including the court, is going to give a shit.

17. Guess you have never appeared in front of a federal judge.

Read about Manuel Real, Central District of Los Angeles.

Try telling him that...! I made one appearance on behalf of my law partner before Real and I survived!

18. Several times

I have appeared in federal cases in the SDNY, EDVA, DAZ, CAND and CACD.

One thing that is helpful in any argument is not to engage in personal commentary. If you would like to start a thread to discuss me, instead of the subject at hand, feel free. Otherwise, please try to stick to the subject.

Please bookmark this thread.

The case has a lot of problems, but this is not going to even come up as a thing.

7. I have never heard of this latest law firm

It is a three lawyer firm that has a paralegal on the staffing page.

10. From what I read...

Oh, well, that does fit rightfully with McDonald's hamberders!

His lawyers must be on more drugs than Junior. Some poor judge is gonna have to read all this. Hope she/he gets a laugh out of it.

12. The filing fee was paid? I'm a bit surprised

Unless the lawyer fronted the filing fee for the former guy. Another move they'll regret later though it's only $402.

21. Trump's Michael Cohen lawsuit reveals just how bad things really are

TFG's lawsuit against Michael Cohen is a joke. It is poorly drafted by a three lawyer firm that specializes in franchise law. TFG clearly dictated some of the allegations in this piece of crap lawsuit. TFG has filed a number of bogus lawsuit including suing CNN, the Pulitzer Committee and Hillary Clinton in a Rico claim where TFG was assessed $1 million in penalties.

The key is that the filing is that it shows that TFG is worried.

Filing a case against Cohen is a classic Trumpian move. Trump uses lawsuits like stump speeches. Despite his claims that others weaponize the legal system against him for political purposes, that is precisely what Trump has done, and appears to be doing here. Filing a lawsuit, even one that may later be tossed out as frivolous, allows Trump to claim that what Cohen allegedly did to him is so egregious that he had to resort to using the legal system. ....

In the suit Trump filed against Cohen, he accuses Cohen of “multiple breaches of fiduciary duty, unjust enrichment, conversion, and breaches of contract by virtue.” Trump is basically claiming that Cohen lied about him in public, in books, in podcasts and in other media appearances, and that this breached legal obligations Cohen owed to Trump. But Trump has also alleged that Cohen revealed information covered by the attorney-client privilege.

Hence Trump appears to allege that Cohen divulged truthful information about him that is covered by the attorney-client privilege, but also that Cohen spread numerous falsehoods about him. These two arguments may prove to be at odds. ....

Trump’s suit against Cohen may show us no more than how nervous Trump is about the criminal case pending against him.
