You sky screamers sure showed him! Now the USA is exposed to an additional $8.2 billion in damages.


I bet he doesn’t try to reinstate the suit.

How do you reinstate a settled suit?


Is the 1.8 billion fund being established? You know...the terms of the agreement?

No?

Then there is no agreement (i.e., no settlement)

Sure. You can donate to them to. Go right ahead.

This defection game yall play on every single topic is so tiring. Fatiguing, even. 2 things can both be shite. Even 3. You're not forced to defend stupid shite because daddy endorsed it.

They can still get that, easily enough. File a civil rights action as several of them already have, and/or join the class action suit against the Capitol Police.

Trump can have the DOJ settle those lawsuits for very large sums of money.

So you agree he'd have to exhaust appeals before he could argue a breach. Then, who would that argument be against? DOJ for believing they could setup an illegal fund?

He can't. At his request, it was dismissed with prejudice, so it's over.

Even if he could re-file it, ill bet the second time around the court would dismiss it pretty quickly, both for being time barred and lacking a case or controversy.

However, the Judge did request Trump to respond to the motion from several Judges claiming the lawsuit was a fraud on the court. This is more directed at Trump's attorneys, since the Judge accepted the motion as invoking Rule 11. Rule 11 matters can be addressed by the court without re-opening the case.

That could be part of the reason Trump is giving up on the weaponization fund, but I doubt he would do that just to help his attorneys.

I saw the DOJ statement saying they’ll abide by the injunctive order. I didn’t see one saying they won’t pursue it at all. I wonder if a reporter saw the DOJ tweet and just got it wrong.

It’s not like Trump to do such an about face on something like this.

Irrelevant at this point. Trump voluntarily dismissed his lawsuit WITH PREJUDICE, and did not make the settlement part of his dismissal motion. Didn't even mention the settlement.

His case is dead, and if he decides his administration does not have to abide by the terms of his little agreement, thats up to him.

It was reinstated by a judge to examine the legality of the settlement. Obviously the administration saw the writing on that wall and dropped the fund.

I'm sure they'll come up with a different settlement package.

Not really re-opened. Not yet. The judge is considering the Rule 11 issues raised by the third party motion, and has ordered the Plaintiffs to file a response.

One issue she wants briefed is whether the case should be re-opened due to fraud on the court
