“Nothing in our article has had the slightest effect on the reputation that Mr. Trump, through his own words and actions, has already created for himself.”

That's one bill he won't be able to weasel out of (apologies to all weasels).

[TeamPooka]

42. Can lawyers drop a mic? That one did. nt

[Cha]

[Ace Rothstein]

13. No wonder why Trump was sweating bullets during that speech.

[Cha]

20. I know, right? "It would have been a disservice to our readers

and democracy to silence their voices".. paraphrasing

Thank you, Ace Rothstein

[Maeve]

15. The first letter was a standard form; this one was poetry!

"We welcome the opportunity to have a court set him straight."

[Cha]

96. Poety in Motion, Maeve!

"Mr Trump has bragged about his non-consensual touching of women."

Another excellent sentence in this perfect letter to trump's lawyers.

Thank you!

[ProudProgressiveNow]

17. K&R nt

[Madam45for2923]

32. Boojah!

[Cha]

54. Aloha, Madam45! And, a big Booya back @cha!

David McGraw!

Mahalo!

[longship]

33. Perfect! "We decline to do so."

Then they explain the essence of libel claims, like one would do to a first year law student.

Now Mr. Kasowitz (Esq.) can file this one amongst his other C.V. contents. Or he can retake first year law school classes.

[Cha]

56. Yes, it was perfect, longship!

Thank you!

[Cheviteau]

35. Shorter NYT, FU.

[Cha]

avid Brilliant McGraw

Thank you!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. In other words

[URL=http://www.sherv.net/][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Cha]

60. Yuge Metaphorical slap in the trump's big

ugly face.

David freaking Brilliant McGraw

Mahalo, Yo.. that thing is driving me crazy! lol

[Jon King]

39. Bully beat down

MTV should bring back that show for Trump.

[Cha]

62. David McGraw did superbly verbally beat down that bully.

That was a royal metaphorical smack down!

Mahalo Jon!

[njcpa1978]

41. Lawyer Talk

First, you know Kasowitz knows that what he is asking is absurd, but Donald is paying him to write words, so he is doing that. At a $1,000 an hour, he billed a couple of grand. Then he gets to respond to McCraw's letter. A few more bucks in the bank. Donald loses faces and loses dollars. So smart Mr Business Man.

Second, McGraw knows that Kasowitz knows it is a waste of time, so lets have some fun. And it was an elegant response, including the little 'law school' lesson, about have the court explain it to him.

Three, if Kasowitz was really smart he would take it to court, make a ton more money and then explain to DT, 'well we tried', as he takes his over laded wallet on vacation.

[Amonester]

52. Would make sense in our daily world, but not sure about 'loses dollars'

based on the GrOPer's life-long record of not paying or discounting when "not satisfied" ...

[Cha]

104. I love David McGraw's Lawyer Talk.. a thing of beauty!

Thank you, njcpa!

[patsimp]

46. KICK and Recommend. That's how its done

[NastyRiffraff]

47. THAT's how you deal with bullies!

Trump has a well-deserved reputation for threatening to sue, and to actually sue. David E. McCraw is a new national hero.

[Cha]

65. A grand response, Riff! I was

so happy to read this from David E McGraw!

Thank you!

[allan01]

50. sorry mr. trump. no way no how. muwhahehahahahahaha

61. Trump's lawsuit threats opened up a Pandora's Box on his sorry ass.

[Cha]

74. Yeah, did they even

think that through?

Mahalo, oasis! David McGraw!

72. Perfect response.

[Cha]

77. It's just phenomenal.. I'm running out of superlatives!

David McGraw used his words brilliantly against Donald Trump

Mahalo, William

[SunSeeker]

73. McCraw must have loved writing every word of that.

I know I loved reading every word of it.

[Cha]

79. I know right, SunSeeker! I keep thinking about

how he wove the words just perfect for all the world to see, regarding trump and his sham of a lawsuit.

David E McGraw

Mahalo

[Nay]

86. It's a thing of beauty, isn't it? I feel like printing it out and reading it every day. nt

[Cha]

87. I know exactly what you mean, Nay!

Put it in your Journal and you can look @ it every day!

Thank you!

[Adrahil]

75. POW!

That will leave a mark.

[DonViejo]

78. “Never pick a fight with a man who buys ink by the barrel and paper by the ton.” Mark Twain

[Cha]

81. Right, Don! No wonder trump went so ballistic against

the "media"! He asked for it so they superbly verbally smacked him down with one brilliant letter from NYT Lawyer, David E McGraw!

Mahalo

[SummerSnow]

80. Oh snap a doodle, total smackdown!!!

[URL=http://www.sherv.net/][IMG][/IMG][/URL]

[Ilsa]

82. Yup. Can't ruin the reputation of someone who FUBAR'ed it already.

I'm glad the reports were vetted.

Donald was stupid in not having opposition research done.

[Patiod]

83. PS: Hope you got him to pay you up front

Not there, but should be

[lovemydog]

88. Short, sharp

smackdown.

[Cha]

100. Yes! Expertly, Concisely, Delivered!

inundated with so much trump talk.. it was beautiful to see a real person give him brilliant lawyerly blowback!

[BlancheSplanchnik]

106. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, I've about had it with the el stupidos!!!

I had to drive home from work behind a fellow Prius...but it had a jeeezus fish ( ), a TP bumper sticker, and a "Hilary for prison" bumper sticker.

David McGraw Attorney @ Law!

[Feeling the Bern]

101. Sounds like a long winded version of what I posted when Trump threatened the NYT

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1014&pid=1596034

[Scurrilous]

108. The law is a wonderful thing when you have it on your side.

[Cha]

117. Yes! And, I

most certainly try to stay on that side.

My favorite are Lawyer shows.

Mahalo, Scurrilous.

[BootinUp]
