Cobb, DeKalb want attorney's fees for 'meritless' Trump lawsuit

Two metro Atlanta counties are seeking attorneys fees from former President Donald Trump and Georgia Republican Party Chairman David Shafer in a lawsuit that sought to overturn the presidential election in Georgia.

Trump and Shafer filed the lawsuit in December in Fulton County Superior Court. It was part of a wave of election litigation that has continued long after Joe Biden was sworn in as president.

Among other things, the lawsuit said tens of thousands of illegal voters cast ballots in the November election — claims that election experts said were “highly inaccurate” and “worthless.” Trump later withdrew the lawsuit on the eve of a court hearing.

Now Cobb and DeKalb counties say the former president and Shafer should pay their legal bills. In a brief filed Monday, Cobb says it spent $10,875 on the “meritless and legally deficient petition.” DeKalb says it spent $6,105.

3. You're welcome.

The nickel and dime strategy should be used in every jurisdiction where the Trump campaign and its allies should be forced to pay legal and administrative expenses.

4. Good Luck with that, Cobb and DeKalb counties..

I think you know by now that the Traitor doesn't pay his bills.

Lets his cult do the dirty work while he sits back and gorges on junk food & whatever else he pops in his ASSFACE.

8. it's got a good chance

Since both the state GOP and Trump are being sued, and the grounds for the suit are solid. . If they win, and they don't pay, then there is asset seizure, or liens to fall back on.

7. Good idea, but totally impractical.

They will spend good money going after bad. drumpf never pays for anything after the fact and GA will never see one dime.
