HERE IS THE LAWSUIT alleging defamation, filed against the Wall Street Journal by 47.

This was in response to yesterday's story in the Wall Street Journal about Trump and Epstein.

3. How many attended Epstein's 50th birthday party?

9. After Trump's previous litigiousness, I really don't see the WSJ publishing this story

without the bona fide goods.

The Trumpies are trying to bait the WSJ into releasing their facsimile copy of the letter so they can churn it in the conspiracy boards, challenging fonts and marker widths and other minutia. They've been baiting the Journal on this all day. For some reason, the Journal is not playing their game, which is at least mildly interesting.

4. The Journal will fight this.

The word has gone out. Powers bigger than TSF want him out.

6. Negative style points from the outset...

President Donald J Trump, an individual...

Oh, please...

It's like saying Dr Ima Peacock, MD...

Dude:

DJT, an individual

is sufficient... You're not fooling anyone...

7. Trump's lawyer, Alejandro Brito...

Here's the game plan redux...

But for now, Trump has Brito at his back.

The Miami attorney negotiated a $15 million settlement with ABC News in December 2024 over George Stephanopoulos’s defamation claims.

8. Both Vance and this lawsuit are demanding that WSJ release the letter image / facsimile

Needless to say, without the facsimile, it's far harder to turn the MAGA hordes toward their silly little debunking game, where they question every period and comma, etc. This is clearly making Trump insanely angry. He knows the way to counter it is to turn the letter itself into a conspiracy a la Texas Air National Guard. So the WSJ holding the actual letter close to the vest is infuriating them. The suit even claims that the letter doesn't exist, obviously in an attempt to bait its release.

What the WSJ is doing is definitely interesting. One wonders what they're up to. It's thrown a curveball in the MAGA response, in any case, which makes the unfolding at least watchable.
