2. This will be fun to watch

[lagomorph777]

3. I think anybody who worked in the building that day has standing for a suit.

[Withywindle]

41. Absolutely

And especially the officers who were injured and the family of the one who was killed.

[jaxexpat]

44. Or at least a subpoena.

[albacore]

4. The first raindrop ...

6. Now THAT IS What I'm Talking About! Hopefully, the FIRST of MANY!

I wouldn't be surprised if Sicknick's family comes at him with a wrongful death suit.

[MagickMuffin]

7. Sicknick is the correct spelling

there is no L in his name.

[Beetwasher.]

8. typo fixed

10. K & R! I kinda wish they waited until the big inaugration day tomorrow though, LOL!

[nolabear]

11. LOL--me too.

[LaMouffette]

12. Maybe now we'll find out if Trump gave himself a secret pardon post-insurrection, prior leaving WH.

[infullview]

14. Do secret pardon apply to civil actions?

[LaMouffette]

19. Is it a civil suit? I hope so! I don't think a pardon would apply, but I'm not a lawyer.

[33taw]

20. Yes, it is a civil suit filed by a private individual. It is not an indictment.

[LaMouffette]

28. Excellent! Thank you!

Trump sues people at the drop of a hat (or the loss of an election). I can't wait to witness the avalanche of civil suits that will now rain down upon him.

[Bird Lady]

13. This is a good start

But I'm waiting for the day he is served, cuffed, and frog marched out of any place he is hiding.
Because you know, when it gets bad, he will go into hiding.

[jaxexpat]

45. Will he be in a "spider hole"?

It's happened before. And to better men, too.

[SmartVoter22]

15. Trump's process server's thoughts... words

Server: "Are you Donald J Trump?"
Trump: "Yes, I am Donald J Trump."
Server: Hands Trump a #10 Envelope. Says, "You've been served." (Immediately turns to leave. His job is done.)
Trump: Opens #10, (or has caddy/lawyer/Guilliani-styled character do it for him.)
Trump: "I've been served."
Server: (In thoughtful retrospective mode, cause this if frigging awesome.)

Server: Nobody gonna believe this

It's my memory and what a great one to have.


America is jealous of that single process server's claim to fame.

21. K & R This is awesome news!

[lindysalsagal]

30. Awesome!

[C Moon]

22. How about the poor officer who had his eyes gouged out? He should sue EVERYONE involved.

Individually.
I don't know if that's possible, but hell man: what a fucked up bunch of wimp-assed traitors the Republicans are.
Next time someone tells me their Republican, I'm shaking my head and walking away. Terrible people!!!

[Harker]

23. Trumpsky should not know a moment's peace. n/t

24. Oh let it be a glorious downfall!!!

[Mary in S. Carolina]

26. Rep. Bennie Thompson and the NAACP

After I heard of this lawsuit, I joined the NAACP and I am now a proud life long member.

[NurseJackie]

27. Do they still serve people like I've seen on TV shows a million times?

Do they still serve people like I've seen on TV shows a million times? (ie: a process server who must sneak up on them, or catch them in an unguarded moment?)

[SayItLoud]

29. He will ignore it. NT

[msfiddlestix]

31. Interesting

I have tried and tried to imagine Trump being served a subpoena while residing at Mar a Lago but for the life of me I couldn't see how in the world that could happen at his resort-fortress.

It never occurred to me there was a way to formally serve notice of a lawsuit through registered mail. I'm not sure if that has equal value as a subpoena or not. But hell, it's better than a freaking poke in the eye.

36. I want that fucker BURIED in lawsuits.

Up past his haystack-of-a-“hairdo”.

[bluestarone]

37. Yep he's gonna need all of that 10 BILLION $ that he has stolen, for

Future lawsuits.

[bdamomma]

38. That's why

he is soliciting his CPAC cult members to give to his grift. Those lawsuits are going to cost money.

[Blue Owl]

40. Giddy-up!

42. #45 he going to make Lawyers rich. Why

isn't Rudy in on it, oh yeah he's on the verge
of being kicked out of the Bar Asso.

[twodogsbarking]

47. Everyone is saying

it is a beautiful lawsuit.

[BobTheSubgenius]

48. He'll be able to wallpaper the place with legal documents before long.

I really, really hope that one of them is a Seizure notice.

[AllaN01Bear]

49. i hope this person wins by default . and if me id send marshals into

that resort and start taking physical assetts.
