Judge Tells Trump Lawyers They Wasted 'Countless Pages' Defending Him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

A New York judge has chastised Donald Trump's lawyers for filling thousands of pages of court documents while arguing their case against New York Attorney General Letitia James' lawsuit.

On Wednesday, New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron questioned why the 16 defendants in James' $250 million lawsuit against The Trump Organization and the former president felt it necessary to submit such lengthy court filings, many of which run more than 300 pages, while repeating the same lines of defense.

James is investigating allegations The Trump Organization inflated or undervalued the worth of a number of assets to obtain benefits such as better bank loans and reduced tax bills.

In September 2022, James announced she is suing the former president, three of his children—Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump—and two senior executives at the real estate business over the claims.

[Ray Bruns]

4. one theory if you're guilty and you know it is....

He who lobs the most paper wins. It's an attempt to drive the adversary out of the litigation by raising the cost of the suit.

I think this may be what the judge is getting at.

In a suit against another civilian, the lobber runs up the legal expenses of the adversary.

In a suit against the state, the lobber wastes the time of the judge and the clerks. You can't really play this game with the state because they have a very well funded signer on those payroll checks.
