Donald Trump has undoubtedly made the class action lawsuit against Trump University a campaign issue. For the last several days, he has been on a tear against federal Judge Gonzolo Curiel who is overseeing one of the class action lawsuits against Trump University. In the lawsuit, former students claim that the University and Trump violated federal law by luring them to sign up with false promises and then defrauded them once they handed over their checks.
LawNewz.com discovered that when it comes to politics, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd, the law firm behind the class action lawsuit, is not exactly neutral either. Our analysis, using data first compiled by The Washington Post, found that Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd paid the Clintons a total of $675,000 in fees for speeches since 2009. Hillary Clinton gave a $225,000 speech at the law firm as recently as September 4, 2014. Bill Clinton also gave a speech for the same fee back in 2013, and another one in 2009 before the firm had been renamed (they used to be called Coughlin Stoia Geller Rudman & Robbins LLP). In fact, of the five law firms that paid for the Clintons to speak over the last few years, Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd paid out the most money.
Court records indicate 9 attorneys from Robbins Geller are listed as representing Art Cohen and the other former Trump University students in the class action lawsuit (there are three attorneys from another law firm as well). A review of the case’s docket reveals that the Robbins Geller attorneys have aggressively pursued the lawsuit, pushed for Trump to testify and for the trial to begin before the November 2016 election. ......................

This is all sleazy corrupt politics. Trump looks great on this.
Damn it feels good to have a President who is 10 steps ahead of the evil cabal.
Everything is political.
225,000 dollar speech. That must be one hell of a speech.
“This is all sleazy corrupt politics. Trump looks great on this.”
I agree. If anyone does not think politics is not involved in this is a damn fool.
It is a civil case. Like a business being sued because a customer burned themselves with coffee. It is clear this was brought on by the Clinton apparatchiks to disable Trump.
Vast left wing conspiracy! Lololololol............

I could not care less. This is manufactured bull crap. The judge is a democrat whore. No body with a brain gives a damn.
All the suits were filed years ago, long before Trump was running for POTUS.
They knew Trump was running. He hinted at it. It was an open secret.
