This is quite a bit different than the way Obama used it, where he’d sue, say, Texaco for a billion dollars or so because one of their oil workers gave a mean expression to Snail Darter.
But the Obama would ‘settle’ with Texaco for $50 million, providing that Texaco sent that money directly to the Sierra Club.
It was about as ILLEGAL as you could get and people should go to jail for it...and perhaps they will.
This is quite a bit different. First it’s not clear whether Trump even wants the suit, and second, no money will change hands. But the country will certainly win if the AGs prevail, and so will Trump, in a way. Trump will have cover to get rid of the Dreamers and shut that program down, and the country will continue on its very long path to law and order.
When the local rich guy said....SUE ME!... SUE ME!..Ive got 14 Lawyers on retainer and they ain't doing a F’n thing for me....Settled for 70% instantly!!
