Either he will drop it, or he will settle for a bribe.

We have seen him do this again and again, and it works.

The late Charlie Peters from The Washington Monthly wrote an article years ago about the rich using harassing lawsuits to silence opposition, long before Trump got into politics. They know they can throw money at an army of lawyers to keep the harassment coming, but that to most regular folks, hiring and paying a lawyer can destroy your finances, even if you win the case.
