He screwed up in a huge way in his filing. Not only did he accidentally waive his presidential immunity but he also opened himself up to discovery on a LOT of things he wants to keep hidden.
If you've ever watched Austin Powers you know the bit. It was funny in the movie, it's incredibly stupid and makes me want to throw up in my mouth when it escapes the boundaries of film.
Exactly. Once we have a functioning government again the DOJ needs to review each of these cases, decide on the likelihood of trump winning/losing and then bring bribery charges where applicable.
Can you imagine? "Yeah, in order to progress with this lawsuit, you're going to give NYT and their lawyers complete and unrestricted access to completely uncensored and unredacted copies of the Epstein fi… Hello? Hello? Are you still there?"
I just don't understand why they settle! Why! You'll win! A lot of those that settled are big fucking institutions with cash on hand, they could fight him for years, especially knowing THEY WOULD WIN.

If I was Ochs-Sulzberger, I'd be saying "Fuck you Orange Maggot" What's the bet they fold?

Well, Jimmy Kimmel silenced, Stephen Colbert silenced, the regime is dismantling the freedom of speech and free press slowly, but steadily
deaththeunholy
Wow Discovery would be interesting on that case

Too bad they'll probably settle.

Ha! He'll lose, of course, he always does.

Sadly, they are most likely to settle out of court.
That's how these things tend to play out.

But somehow he never has to pay up...

I like that he keeps suing people for multiple times what he's worth.

$3.50?

How do they even come up with these numbers? 15 billion, that's like the GDP of Afghanistan.

He announces these lawsuits and then never follows through because he knows he'll get destroyed in discovery.
Sometimes the companies he sues settled which is just legal bribery at this point.
DorkJedi
Its just a way to get bribes legally. File a bullshit suit, they 'settle' for the agreed upon bribe amount.

It's the Fart of the Veal.

He’s hoping for a CBS type settlement of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Because they're owned by billionaire MAGAts that want nothing more than for the entire organization they took control of to kowtow to their chud-king.
ProjectDA
