3. Heh heh...this isn't a family owned HVAC outfit from Parsippany

Fuck you, Trump.

[ProudProgressiveNow]

7. +1 nt

[Glimmer of Hope]

32. Yep. Bring it on!

[50 Shades Of Blue]

4. Guess Marc drew the short straw

[treestar]

35. Hope he got the money up front

maybe he buys into Don the Con's claims that merely representing him and being known to have done so is worth zillions to one's business?

[GaYellowDawg]

5. I say GO FOR IT!

Get Trump in a courtroom and go on a fishing expedition under oath!

[Grassy Knoll]

6. LOL!!!

[chillfactor]

9. LOL!

this whole t'rump campaign is becoming crazier every day....does t'rump really think his lawyers can bully the NYT.....really? and now with more allegations coming forth, this lawyer is going to look like an ass.

10. Oh, good: discovery!!! nt

[Retrograde]

19. Pleasepleaseplease

C'mon Donald, please sue the New York Times. They can then start the discovery phase and subpoena lots and lots of documents from you...

[PJMcK]

27. The letter, the Times or both? (n/t)

[geek tragedy]

33. The letter nt

[PJMcK]

34. Thanks! (n/t)

[onecaliberal]

13. Time for discovery!!!

[HipChick]

14. Yup..Trumpland going into freefall

[forgotmylogin]

15. Is it odd for a lawyer to sign his signature with a dollar sign $ above it?

[Hassin Bin Sober]

17. It's odd to find any attorney to even admit to writing such nonsense .

I can only imagine the conversation that took place.

Trump: l want you to send a threatening letter to the New York Times.

Lawyer: sir, you are a public figure in the middle of an election we don't have a leg to stand on.

Trump: SEND THE FUCKING LETTER OR I WILL FIRE YOU AND FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO WRITE IT. THEN ILL FUCKING SUE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe there is a niche market for lawyers representing rich douchebags like him and O'Rielly sending and filing frivolous threat letters.

Hopefully they get paid upfront if they have ANY brains.

[Retrograde]

18. Shows the lawyer is bought and paid for (n/t)

[treestar]

36. A lawyer's function is to advise

and also not to file frivolous suits, so it does more harm to lawyer than good. He should have told Don the Con there is no case and refused to send the letter. As it is, he should know he needs to get the fees up front. That is normal for a lawyer and by now should be standard practice for anyone dealing with Don the Con.

[PJMcK]

28. It was a subconscious act by the lawyer (n/t)

[Cha]

16. You think the NYT is

quaking in their boots?

[Maru Kitteh]

20. Yeah, that's how I got my C&D from Trump's lawyers for selling buttons

that said "You're fired!" an an image of the top of this hair on the bottom of the button.

It was 2004. Looked it up, decided he was full of shit, and ignored the email. Wish I would have kept that now, but honestly, I'm one of thousands of people - maybe more - who has received C&D's or other legal threats from that slimeball.

If I still had the button equipment I would sell that sucker again. It's SO much funnier now!

[PJMcK]

29. I love your story, Maru Kitteh

In fact, it's ironic to read it again because I recounted it to a friend last night! (I recall we shared a discussion about your experience some time over the last year.) I wish you'd kept the letter, too. It would be great fun and possibly worth some green.

As far as the buttons go, they could sell like hotcakes on November 9th!

21. Send Marc a nice fruit basket (mostly oranges) with a note:

Dear Mr. Kasowitz:

Do the letters F O mean anything to you?

Sincerely, The New York Times

[PJMcK]

30. Probably, The Times will not even respond to the letter (n/t)

[Happyhippychick]

22. I'm sure Marc detests Donald Trump

and knows this is a fruitless endeavor.

[avebury]

23. Please proceed.

[JHB]

24. Times sends letter back (on gray paper, of course)...

[OilemFirchen]

25. Dear Mr. Trump,

Please be assured that our firm has secured a steady supply of windmills. Per our understanding, they are available for rental at $1,000.00/hr.

Thank you for your business.

Regards,

Marc E. Ka$owitz

31. He'll get cash from his deplorable rabble for the "defence fund"

And they will pour money into his coffers.
