Do the Trump’s really want to subject themselves to legal discovery concerning their ties with Jeffrey Epstein? From Martin Jay at strategic-culture.su:
Any legal team advising the Trumps that a defamation case is a winner is either monstrously incompetent or taking them for a ride.
The Epstein case continues to unravel at an alarming pace following the publication of Virginia Giuffre’s scandalous expose ‘Nobody’s Girl’. In the UK, the royal, formerly known as Prince Andrew has had to give up his titles as more sordid details emerge of just how close he and his wife Sarah Fergusson were to the disgraced financier. Yet it is in the U.S. where Donald Trump is having real problems with this lurid saga as social media timelines fill up, it would seem, with photos of him and young girls in their teens. And then there are the cases where hush money was alleged to have been paid out by the U.S. president to families to keep quiet about the nature of such relations.
The real problem Trump has though is the tactic chosen by his wife.
Melania Trump has reacted quite strongly and without caution about claims made these days quite broadly by a number of pundits, that she was not only close to Epstein, but it was the former disgraced financier who introduced her to Trump, who, together helped her with her failed modelling career while fixing her immigration status in the U.S. at that time.
While being billionaires is useful in legal cases as it allows you to hire the best lawyers in the country, what it doesn’t do is give you perspective or valuable prescience about any outcomes which might hit you in the face, what Americans call ‘blowback’ (the recoil of a firearm held in the hand). Amazingly, what Melania’s lawyers have not warned her of is the pain of a defamation case when it reaches court and just how far that blowback can harm the accuser, or ‘claimant’. The point about the case arriving at a court date and being heard is important as most defamation lawyers work on the basis that early threats presented to the ‘defendants’ are usually enough to get a suitable settlement.
