In all honesty, and taking nothing away from the veracity of Trump’s case, I wonder if they’ve realised (or more likely, their attorneys are realising) that they’d be in way over their heads dealing with a man who is potentially going to be President of the US. I know he’s only supposed to be the “First Citizen” and not immune to the law (saying nothing about this case, about which I know little to nothing), but that hasn’t been the case for generations, or at least since Nixon, and in that case, people much more powerful than these people were dealing with Nixon, including the all-powerful and at that time nearly monolithic leftist media.
I contend that they have now realized their first mistake was to believe a slip and fall lawyer promising them lots of money. All we have to do is to get them to settle because everyone knows they just want it to go away.
Someone forgot to inform them that Trump doesn’t settle. He is a fighter and this episode that Cruz and the GOPe are trying to smear him with is just another that will now backfire.
