Don the shlong lol they've been trying to convict this guy for anything and everything for the past 8 years howcome they can't convict him yet... what's he up to!!
Don The Schlong?
He's more like Don The Button Mushroom if you believe what his former porn mistress said.
Regarding the severe delay, all I can say is that money = power in the U.S. (including the court "systems"). For the average worker, consumer, or tenant, the courts are basically a sick fascist joke. For a corporatist fatcat, it's an entirely different story. Trump figured out a long time ago that he can use the massive expense of litigating not only to force banks to lend him money, but to defend his criminal conduct tooth and nail. Basically his strategy is to overwhelm and frustrate his legal opponents with objections, motions, and interlocutory appeals (appeals filed to an appellate court
during the trial court proceeding). If this plan works, he wins and is enriched. if it fails, he's liable for having filed a frivolous claim (without merit) but all he has to pay is his opponent's legal fees. Whoop-dee_doo.
The average American could, in theory, play Trump's game--but in reality, we can't afford to do so. Our own legal fees (and potential penalties) would bankrupt us. Furthermore should you choose to represent yourself
pro se (basically, without a lawyer), just think what you're doing--you're refusing to financially subscribe to the lawyers' club's business model (the Barristers Association). All of the lawyers and judges are dues paying members of the club. How do you think club members are going to respond to your refusal to follow
their club's business model while appearing in
their club's system? And
God help you if you're a non-white American involved in the courts in any way. This is part of the reason that I refuse to practice law.
