Trump MISSES DEADLINE as $10 BILLION BLUFF CALLED!!!

The tables are being turned on Donald. Trump and he is losing all control of. this lawsuit that he filed against the. BBC in federal court in Florida. Donald. Trump alleged the BBC manipulated. footage in a documentary that really. nobody even saw, but he was so angry at. the BBC regarding the January 6th. insurrection and he said you did an edit. where it made it look like I was. encouraging the insurrectionist to walk. with me to the Capitol building on. January 6th as though I was the leader. of the insurrection and your edit.

spliced out space between and now I feel. that you've so utterly defamed me. As. I've said, I gave you my opinion when. that lawsuit was filed. I said not only. is this frivolous, but I don't think the. BBC is just going to take this lightly. unlike, you know, like the Wall Street. Journal when they get sued, you know, it's very much like we'll just file a. motion to dismiss and not do aggressive. discovery. We'll stay discovery because. of Trump and Murdoch's relationship. I. said the BBC is going to go after this. guy and they're going to say, "Okay, you. want to talk about defamation regarding.

the January 6th insurrection? Oh, yeah, and by the way, you're claiming $10. billion of damages? Okay, let's see your. damages. We're going to subpoena the. Trump irrevocable trust and we're going. to see how you claim that you were. damaged $10 billion by us. Oh, by the. way, didn't you sue the Treasury. Department for $10 billion. and claim that that cost you $10 million. because of a data breach? Didn't you sue. the New York Times for $10 million and. didn't you sue CBS and So, you sue. everybody for $10 billion? Uh we want to.

know where you get those financial. damages from. But you know what? Let's. get into the merits, too. Not just the. damages. You say that you're defamed. because the way this was edited. You. said implied that you were encouraging. the January 6th insurrection. Okay, well, turn over all of your text. messages and communications and emails. and diaries and calendar entries. regarding the January 6th insurrection. We would like to know you haven't turned. over those documents to the January 6th.

committee. No one's been able to get. that, but you Donald have now opened the. door by suing us and we're entitled to. that. Why? Because you claim. reputational harm as though you had. nothing to do with January 6th. It's the. core of your case. So turn it over and. then Donald Trump's like, well, you. better turn over your documents BBC. Here we go. 500 document requests we're. sending to you. BBC goes, okay, here are. our responses. 40,000 documents, privilege log. We'll respond to the. discovery cuz that's what you do in. litigation. You have lawyers, they go.

through things. It's expensive and. costly and tedious, but you respond. So. the BBC's responded to their discovery. obligations. Surprise, surprise. Trump's. like turned over no documents, no. emails, no communications. He says, you. can't ask the Trump trust or the. irrevocable Trump family trust. They're. third parties. They have nothing to do. with it. Well, that's where you keep all. of your money in the trust. So of course. they're going to want a subpoena the. trust. Oh, you can't ask us for.

communications regarding January 6th. Why? Why says the BBC? The case is about. that. You claim your reputation was. defamed. It's the heart, it's the. central cause of action that you've. brought. Of course we're going to make. it about that. We can't wait for trial. Donald to put you on the witness stand. and ask you questions about the January. 6th insurrection because you're private. citizen Trump when you sue us for $10. million you're not President Donald. Trump. And we the BBC are not backing. down or just dismiss your lawsuit. Notably, on June 5th there was a.

deadline for Donald Trump to respond to. the BBC's motion to dismiss. Get this. Donald Trump and his lawyers just blew. the deadline. Did not respond. So the. judge Roy Altman, federal judge in Florida said, uh you. know, this is a court. So why didn't you. respond to the deadline in a motion to. dismiss in a lawsuit that you filed? Should I bring sanctions against you? To. which Donald Trump's lawyers rushed in. and said, "Judge, we're so sorry. We're. so sorry. It was inadvertent. It was an. accident. He's just so busy. We've got.

the war with Iran. We've got all of. these things going on. So, please just. give us more time. Please just give us. more time." So, you have that going on. right now when the judge still needs to. rule, "What am I going to do with this. motion to dismiss?" And the fact that. Donald Trump did not respond to the. BBC's motion to dismiss in the first. place. Before that, you had Trump's. lawyers tried to disqualify the judge. "Oh, you're so unfair. You're not going. to treat us fairly." That got denied. Now, they're not turning over financial. documents. They're not turning over.

documents regarding January 6th. And now. they're saying they're too busy. And we have all these filings and this. paperwork where the Trump where Trump. refuses to participate in the. litigation. You I I I I may sound like a. broken record right now um because I say. this in all of the legal analysis hits. that I do, but this is what you have to. do when you litigate against Trump. More. broadly, anybody who stands up to this. guy wins. Because but you but it's not. easy because he's relentless with the.

disinfo and the threats and he keeps. coming back. But you stand up to him. Yes, he'll whine. He'll manipulate. He's. a fraud. He'll do all of that. But you. will win. You're seeing the BBC do that. right now. But I could talk more broadly. in other contexts about Iran. I could. talk more broadly in other cases like. Abrego Garcia. I could talk about. Letitia James. I could talk about E. Jean Carroll. But let's talk about BBC. right here because they're showing yet. again that now they've got Donald Trump. cornered. He brought the lawsuit. He. wanted the headlines. Now, he's missing.

deadlines, attacking happens every case. Missing deadlines, attacking the judge, not producing the records, missing this, sloppy this. I want to bring in Harry. Litman from the Talking Fed's YouTube. channel, Substack, and podcast. Harry, it's so easy to predict and sad because. this vexatious litigant, and by the way, vexatious, that's the terminology that. another federal judge in the Southern. District of Florida used before Trump.

won the latest term in a footnote when. Trump and Alina Habba were sanctioned. over a million dollars in a frivolous. RICO case that was brought for billions. of dollars as well saying this behavior. is the uh peak vexatious conduct that we. warn about. And so, the fact that the. president of the United States, while. holding this office, the presidency, that I used to look at, you know, as a. child, the presidency, the White House, DC, he goes around like he's some I.

don't mean to I'm not I'm not trying to. be offensive here, but I'm giving a. real-life example, like a 5150 from a. prison who starts filing all of these. documents that courts are like, all. right, you have we have to ban you from. filing. That's the president of the. United States filing these things, but. he's got unlimited resources. He's got a. line of lawyers who don't care about. what happened to the previous ones. before, and they're just willing to. sacrifice their legal career. They don't. give a It's crazy that he keeps that. there are more lawyers like, "Yeah, I. know what happened to the other group. I.

want to do that, too." Uh. and and here you have the predictable. result, Harry. Mit, what do you make of. it all? >> You know, first is the points you just. made, Ben, I hadn't thought about. before. It's a really good one. It's. been 10 years of this crushing. corruption. I'm just thinking of kids. who, you know, maybe they're 15 now and. they came of consciousness with with. Trump as the president. What do they. think about government, about the. presidency, about public service? All.

that stuff has been so soiled. But to. your point, look, you're not the broken. record. Trump is the broken record. Every single time, if you get involved. in litigation, that means you have to be. ready to answer questions. It just goes. with the territory. I still do a fair. bit of litigation on the plaintiff side, and you got to be ready for the. defendants to, you know, take their.

licks and try to score points. And Trump. is the classic guy who can dish it out, but he can't take it. So, I think we. really do have Taco Trump here. Now, what they are saying, what Trump's. lawyers are saying is, "Oh my lord, judge, they're trying to make this into. a trial about January 6th." Um yeah, I. guess so, because the cause of action.

here, what Trump is saying was an unfair. practice and deceptive on the BBC's. part, is they took two parts of the. speech that all of us saw. They were, in. fact, separated by 50 minutes. They. stitched them together and apologized. for that stitching, but it seems like. you have Trump first saying, "We're. going to go down to the mall," and then. we got to fight like hell. And they. supposedly gave that impression of like, "Oh, he wants you to fight like hell at.

the Capitol." Is that you know, if it. goes to trial, it's completely germane. The whole the whole heart of his lawsuit. is that somehow that was deceptive. Okay, well, I want I got a lot of stuff. I want to know about what he did and. said January 6th and before, and I want. him as a deponent in the deposition. chair, where, by the way, he's proven.

himself again and again to be the. world's very worst client who just fumes. and avoids and bobs and weaves and then. essentially takes his ball and goes. home. My best guess is he will take his ball. here and go home. They they but they. propounded as you say a ton of stuff. against BBC. That's show biz if you will. and BBC responded. And now he wants to. say, but I don't have to play. What that.

means is I get to score. points in the PR arena and get the. headline hit and say I'm suing as if. that means I know I'm right and there. I've got them on the run and then. there's always when it comes to court. there's a payday, right? Okay, here you. are. You made these allegations. Sit. down, let's hear about them and by the. way, you better raise your right hand, too, and answer the questions of the.

person you're trying to get all this. money out of. And at that point. more or less always, right? We've we. we've seen a few disastrous, deceptive, and. misleading depositions on his part, but. he always tries to get out of facing the. music. He really, you know, can dish it. out, but he can't. take it. So I think this is one other. crappy. lawsuit by Trump. He's brought it under.

Florida state law, which I think he. thinks will somehow help him, but he's. been a complete He's a serial abuser of. the litigation system mainly cuz he. doesn't have good causes of action and. he's just looking to bring headlines and. BBC. one other little point here. English law and defamation is a lot. harder for defendants than it is in the. state. So the BBC is really used to the.

hurly-burly. fighting cases where the other the. plaintiffs can win just by showing. something's false. So, uh yeah, they're. not going to be. shying away. They've got time-tested. um. litigation tactics to say, "We want to. hear from you, Mr. Trump." And I just. can't see it, right? I think it's going. to be Taco Trump showing up when the BBC. comes to call.

>> Right. And I think the reason why he. brought it under some state law consumer. statute is because Florida has a pretty. powerful anti-SLAPP. the strategic lawsuits against public. participation or public policy the these. lawsuits so that. if you lose the lawsuit, it creates an. earlier burden or or easier burden for. someone to challenge your lawsuit early. on and then you're subject to all of. these attorneys' fees if you brought it. as a defamation case and then lose right.

away. But it really doesn't matter. I. mean, it's looking what it was looking for was. a frivolous hook to try to tie down the. BBC in attorneys' fees and costs, get. your headline $10 million, fundraise off. of it, and then try to basically push. this out for, you know, basically your. your your ceasefire cycle, right? 60. days, 60 days, 60 days, 60 days, you. know, then they'll be skirmishes, then.

hopefully it just drifts into the past. in the background. The issue is is that. nothing drifts into the past in the. background. This stuff causes. irreparable reputational damage. I mean, this is why before The Apprentice, which. was, you know, a fraudulent portrayal of. Donald Trump in my view, his reputation. was not of a con artist, a fraudster, a. bankruptor, you know, and just an an. overall just awful human being. And when. these types of tactics we see in this. case.

are used as the philosophy for how. America conducts business in the world, it becomes more than this is a vexatious. and frivolous litigant who loses in the. case. It's. we are. non-consensually, who didn't vote for him, put on this. team, on this boat, on a in America that. is now drifting with these fraudulent. schemes, and I can make the direct.

parallel to fig vexatious litigations. like this, and rushing into wars and. other international debacles. Okay, Donald, you threaten that you're going. to go after China, and that you're going. to tariff them, and they go, "Okay, got. it. We're doing a trade war. We're. shutting down. giving away our rare earths." What. happens? You remember last April, markets tank tank tank tank tank. Donald. Trump goes, "Okay, we're doing a deal. with We'll figure it out. We'll We'll do. this deal with China." In May, they.

announced something. Then he went back. again last month and had the meeting. with And then it gets pulled in this. ambiguous and vague cycle. But ultimately, the damage is done to. us, to him. There's. >> [clears throat]. >> He doesn't win in this. No one wins in. this. It just It is It is mad. It is. actually mutually assured destruction. Anything you want to say, Harry? >> Yeah, just a final point here. You know, we've begun already to sort of hold our. breath and think 2028 and his being out. But for Donald Trump,

this is the ghost of Christmas future. He is going, whenever he leaves office, to be greeted by a fusillade. of civil lawsuits, and who knows about. criminal stuff that we'll put to the. side. But this is him for the rest of. his life, obstreperously claiming things. and suing, but also getting sued, people. trying to depose him, having no argument. about oh the Iraq Iran Morris keeping.

him so busy, your honor. It's a It's a. sure thing, it seems to me, that um you. know, the uh the. chickens will come home to roost. Or we. did another thing about Katie uh Fahey's. great um suit against Todd Blanche. It'll be, I think, Katie bar the door. These suits are going to be coming, and. that's that's going to be his main his. main uh vocation after he leaves the.

presidency, I think. >> Just such a freaking predator, man. Like. don't don't file these lawsuits if if. you're not going to do what's needed in. the lawsuit. This isn't me speaking as a. Democrat or a political. If you think you've been wronged, filing. a lawsuit's a very serious thing. You're. bringing people into court. You're. taking away resources of taxpayers and. judges and time. If you think it's a. real lawsuit, if you thought you were. harmed by the BBC, meet your freaking. deadlines, submit your discovery, go in.

front of a jury, argue your case, and. just shut the hell up with the stupid. whining. I'm just so sick and tired of. the freaking whining and the missing of. the deadlines and the unprofessional. behavior. It's just. >> So are 1,000 judges, Ben. >> It's just grow the hell up. Anyway, make. sure you all subscribe to Harry Litman. You know, but but yes, but you still. have people on the Supreme Court who. normalize this, and you still have. people who are too smart to that are.

Just. Anyway, subscribe to Harry Litman. >> I got. >> other point cuz you just raised. That's. one thing about the Supreme Court. We. talk how the district courts are all are. being so much stronger. They're seeing. it. They're feeling it. They're getting. lied to their face. They're having their. discovery orders completely abused. It.

all comes up on a cold abstract record. to the Supreme Court. But district. courts of all stripes, including Trump. appointees, are seeing this vexatious is. the right word behavior.
