I hear what you are saying, and appreciate that you are a great example of someone on this forum who can disagree while engaging in a meaningful discussion, rather than reacting harshly to any difference of opinion.

However, if we take just the first part of your position -- that part about unlikely-to-win civil cases .... I'd suggest that frivolous suits are attempted for a variety of reasons, all too frequently. In fact, that is a tactic that Trump has used for decades, as a result of his relationship with old Roy. I think we agree that Trump will use any tactic to try to cover his tracks. Lately, he's filed nonsense to try to avoid having his financial records released. You know why, if my memory serves me correctly.
