How 75 pending lawsuits could distract a Donald Trump presidency

[Crabtownboy]

Just two weeks before Election Day, at least 75 of the 4,000-plus lawsuits involving Trump and his businesses remain open, according to an ongoing, nationwide analysis of state and federal court records by USA TODAY. Trump is running well behind Democrat Hillary Clinton in most polls — about 5 points behind in the popular vote in RealClearPolitics' rolling average of national polls. But if Trump were to win, the number of unresolved cases is unprecedented for a presidential candidate, according to political scientists and historians.

Trump faces significant open litigation tied to his businesses: angry members at his Jupiter, Fla. golf course say they were cheated out of refunds on their dues and a former employee at the same club claims she was fired after reporting sexual harassment. There's a fraud case brought by Trump University students who say the mogul's company ripped them off for tens of thousands in tuition for a sham real estate course.

Trump is also defending lawsuits tied to his campaign. A disgruntled GOP political consultant sued for $4 million saying Trump defamed her. Another suit, a class action, says the campaign violated consumer protection laws by sending unsolicited text messages.

If elected, the open lawsuits will tag along with Trump. He would not be entitled to immunity, and could be required to give depositions or even testify in open court. That could chew up time and expose a litany of uncomfortable private and business dealings to the public.

One Trump case, over non-payment of tips to caterers at Trump SoHo Hotel in New York City, is scheduled to go to trial a week before Election Day.

Well, we certainly won't have to worry about any legal distractions in a Hillary Clinton presidency, do we?

You certainly won't have to worry about 4000 lawsuits.

Who said " the government governs best which governs least?" Maybe this would help.

Hmm, how about the 33,000 emails our prospective comander-in-chief lost.

Oh right - some one found them and is releasing them on a daily basis almost.

Good. Get them on the job to recover the 2,000,000 plus emails the Bush administration "lost".[emoji57]

Neither is Bill. But that ain't stopped the GOP.

But I get it. It's okay for the GOP to be hypocrites.

So again, if y'all ain't asking about the 2,000,000 plus missing emails from the Bush administration and DIDN'T ask. Be quiet and stop looking ridiculously foolish about 33000.

No, you don't get it Zaac. You just think you have some kind of "clever" defense for your girl, Hillary.

I haven’t heard about this so-called development of 2m emails disappearing from Bush. But, even if I was ignorant enough to attempt to discount Hillary’s culpability by arguing some kind of desperately fabricated “2 wrongs make a right” fallacy and were immature and disrespectful to follow that fallacy with (- to one of the mildest mannered members on this board, no less) the closing argument of: “so shut your mouth you look stupid” I would still know, without even looking it up that any missing emails from Bush would not have been under subpoena!

On that point your silly fallacy doesn't even compare as to the degree of the circumstances of which the emails were deleted.

You want to know how I know this simple truth? Because if they had been under subpoena the Democrats would have turned it into Watergatex10 and your liberal media friends would have made sure not one person on this planet could not have known about it! Which only goes to show who the real hypocrites on the issue are…


…But we know Zaac doesn’t argue in reasonable and rationally logic terms and is proud of “getting away with trolling under the radar” while he attacks Christians on this board. In fact, if called out on his fallacious reasoning he simply replies with more immature and disrespectful ignorance of referring to having his arguments broken down and examined for logical truth as “psycho-babble”.


Therefore, please do not feed the troll…

Like I said, if you've got no defense of the missing 2,000,000 plus, go sit down a nd close your trap. No one with good sense cares for the hypocrisy.

And frankly, somebody needs to let me know why I could even see your stupid posts because I KNOW I put you on IGNORE a long time ago.

Never no mind cause I can fix it again.

Abracadabra!Poof! Be gone![emoji83]

I understand Zaac, the truth hurts. If you can't handle the heat, then yes, it is probably best you hide from it.

OK I'll ask I'll even SHOUT IT - WHERE ARE THE 2,000,000 plus EMAILS PRESIDENT BUSH?!!

AOBTW, I'm not a Republican (for the 4th or 5th time).

Again, they're not acting like they're ahead at all - what's the point of bringing up all those "potential" lawsuits, it's not as if Hillary isn't free of any legal trouble - including her lost emails.

As for GWB, his were lost and recovered years ago:

with the help of the WH.

Trump faces significant open litigation tied to his businesses: angry members at his Jupiter, Fla. golf course say they were cheated out of refunds on their dues and a former employee at the same club claims she was fired after reporting sexual harassment. There's a fraud case brought by Trump University students who say the mogul's company ripped them off for tens of thousands in tuition for a sham real estate course.

Trump is also defending lawsuits tied to his campaign. A disgruntled GOP political consultant sued for $4 million saying Trump defamed her. Another suit, a class action, says the campaign violated consumer protection laws by sending unsolicited text messages.

If elected, the open lawsuits will tag along with Trump. He would not be entitled to immunity, and could be required to give depositions or even testify in open court. That could chew up time and expose a litany of uncomfortable private and business dealings to the public.

One Trump case, over non-payment of tips to caterers at Trump SoHo Hotel in New York City, is scheduled to go to trial a week before Election Day.

Actually it is 76 law suits. I heard a rumor he is suing ctb for all his lies .... LOL

 

[righteousdude2]

The truth is, while Trumps law suits may be troubling, you conveniently forgot that Hellary will be haunted with ongoing investigations surrounding all her illegal actions. The truth is, the worst for Trump is he writes a settlement check. While Clinton could face impeachment or jail for her many illegal actions prior to and following this election.

Which is worse ctb? I'd say ending up with a President Kane!? LOL
