Donald Trump just issued a 'scathing' multimillion-dollar legal threat to a conservative group
Yahoo Finance ^ | 2015-09-22 | Colin Campbell

The release — titled "Donald J. Trump Sends Club for Growth Scathing Cease and Desist Letter Regarding Recent 'Attack Ads'" — repeatedly bashed the Club for Growth, with whom Trump has constantly feuded during his campaign.

"I am not surprised the dishonest, irrelevant and totally failing Club for Growth has resorted to attacking the definitive front-runner, especially after I refused to contribute to their pathetic group," Trump said in a statement.

In the cease-and-desist letter to Club for Growth President David McIntosh, Trump lawyer Alan Garten similarly tore into the "pitiful little group" while promising a devastating lawsuit should the group not immediately pull its attack ads against Trump.

He’s surrounded by the cabal, GOPe, Dems, & media. They are relentless using tactics one after the other to bring him down.

When did it become the Republican’s job to bring down a Republican?

When did it become the media’s job to bring down any candidate.

People had better see how screwed up this is and fight back. Trump is our only legitimate way to revolt and he needs our support.

Asking for a donation is not extortion.

This is just an empty threat, an attempt to scare them into silence.

Just got off the phone with a very nice guy from India to discuss particulars of my Amazon Card account.

These are the kind of jobs that AMERICAN college kids, stay at home moms, and the welfare cases could be doing.

Don’t get me wrong, the Indians and Filipinos I deal with when calling ATT and American Express are for the most part top notch.

What the CEO’s and MBA’s running these companies are in effect saying is that we don’t want to deal with American workers and even if we save 10 cents after all is said and done it makes the stock price go up.

This insanity must stop immediately.

Oh. I guess we now love it when somebody uses his bucks to attempt to suppress the truth or even legitimate political expression.

Way to go, guys.

Trump needs to put his big boy pants on. This is nothing compared to the clinton crime family ads that may come

"Certainly not the kind of man I want picking an attorney general."

Definitely the kind of man I want picking an attorney general.

We might actually get some indictments of the traitors running things now.

I take it you prefer mature candidates like Jeb Bush?

It’s getting in front of their ad campaign. More people will hear of the letter and his response than will see the million dollars worth of ads.
And it cost him nothing.

I wish more candidates would learn how to manipulate a hostile media into working for them.

It must be great to have billions of dollars and a stable of lawyers when you run for the nomination.

This Trump campaign is making me smile everyday! The fun has just begun! I am hoping Trump will not give up. This has been his dream for a long time...to run for president. I am reading his book "Time to get Tough". It is Fabulous!

“Trump cries and whine...”

Rattlesnakes don’t cry or whine.

They warn before killing.

Club for Growth has been warned - and by proxy, so has Rove’s group.

So was Univision.

Next, they pay for not listening.

Well done and about time a fighter showed up instead of girly-men.

Asking for donations, being denied, and then running ads against that candidate looks like extortion to me.

Being a “Mr. Nice Guy” is what got us in the mess we are in. It is way past time for someone to speak up. I do not think this group is conservative. It seems like they have one mission and that is to help the GOPe. GO TRUMP.

The Club for Growth touts capitalism and free markets while pushing crony capitalism and outsourcing America, while supporting open borders and insourcing of cheap labor and more destructive trade deals. My view has become one where they now represent more of what has gone wrong with America, than what was once right and made us great.

Of course not.

I wonder why you left off the second part?
