19. Whatever works. It should NEVER be voluntary with these crooks!

Block all the exits and hidey-holes. Don’t give ‘em ANY way out. Cough it up, NOW. ALL of it.

They should rightfully be running out of patience.

After all, trump’s cohorts have all learned from him, and you can bet they’ll test-drive it for themselves. He’s the king of delay. That’s been his schtick for a long time (well, some of it anyway). Always ask the judge for a delay. For whatever lame-ass excuse your lawyers can come up with. And keep seeking more delays from there. That’s what trump has done over and over and over again, and how he wiggles his way out of tight legal predicaments over and over again, too.

It’s really a rather shrewd strategy. You wear your opponent out that way. Because the meter’s always running on THEIR lawyers and they’ll run out of money long before you do. And they’ll be forced to drop it or settle on your terms to keep the damages to a minimum.

Rather devious, I’d say.
