Hunter Biden is on counter attack suing Rudy and his mouthpiece, Costello, over the release of “supposed” personal information on a hard drive. I hope it’s a full court press including congress critters. Multiple cites, NYT, CBS, FOX… Make them rue the day they challenged Biden’s plea deal. ---

> [@EddyTeddyFreddy](#): > > Or they could figure, why bother, why run up lawyer bills, when there are so many cases, civil and criminal, ahead of them in the legal queue. Turns out there is someone who has sued Trump for a copyright violation. Of course, it was filed in2020 before all the present legal battles started. Trump lost the fight to have it dismissed, he has been deposed and now his lawyers (I wonder how many lawyers he has?) are arguing about unsealing his testimony. A trial date has not been set. It might be difficult to fit this in with everything else. [Trump, ‘Electric Avenue’ singer spar over ex-president’s testimony | Reuters](https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/trump-electric-avenue-singer-spar-over-ex-presidents-testimony-2023-09-25/) > [@](#): > > Sept 25 (Reuters) - A copyright lawsuit over Eddy Grant’s 1983 hit “Electric Avenue” has become an unlikely venue for a legal clash over alleged Donald Trump campaign secrets, as lawyers for Trump and Grant argue over sealing parts of the former president’s deposition testimony in the case. Trump’s attorney Jason Kasner told a Manhattan federal judge on Wednesday that the deposition excerpts should remain sealed in order to “preserve the confidentiality of highly sensitive information regarding U.S. presidential campaign strategy.” ---

See what crapola sticks to the wall, and delay, delay delay. Judges are getting sick and tired of their crapola. Next they will want to impeach Biden because someone saw Hunter jay-walking 20 years ago. ---

I do wonder what secret “campaign strategy” is in the deposition that Trump is so scared about? I’m thinking maybe a blatantly racist tirade directed at Eddie Grant. ---

A lot of people are annoyed about how long the trials take. I think it’s actually a feature since it stretches out the misery of the orange one and lets us enjoy the sight of him twisting in the wind for a lot longer. It’s like a monthly schadenfreude subscription. On a separate issue, will he be able to tweet from prison? Exactly how much will we have to hear from him once he gets put away? ---

That part _is_ nice, no doubt about it. Until you consider that he’s got a very high likelihood of being President again unless there are some real convictions with real sentences here very, very soon. ---

> [@Railer13](#): > > My Pillow guy says he’s been crippled by American Express. I realize Lindell has made his own bed, or fluffed his own pillow if you will, and he’s got to lie in it. But I can’t help but shake my head. This is an addict who managed to turn his life around and build a successful company. No, it’s not like he was really changing the world with his pillows or anything like that, but people had jobs and he was providing customers with something they need. Whenever I see him pop up in the news I don’t get angry nor am I happy to see what he’s become. I’m just sad. It makes me sad to see someone deliberately run off a cliff. ---

I sort of feel like Lindell just traded one addiction for others. He quit crack and took up Christianity and Trumpism. He pursued them with the same zeal, but doesn’t know when to quit. ---
