Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You know what's fun about formal legal proceedings?
Discovery!
Good luck with that you drunken buffoon.
That’s probably why he filed suit. Nobody cares about the lawsuit outcome but he might be able to surface some of the sources or people who talked so he can punish them.
Hes also beholden to discovery, including emails and communications to and about him and his issues.
This is just saber rattling to the MAGA crowd. He will drop the lawsuit in a few months when this falls out of the news cycle.
What's the legal process for a defamation claim that the DOJ would inevitably claim executive privilege on discovery?
In a so called sane world, the defense will be granted a motion to have the case tossed. I haven't read the article, so I don't know if the prosecution carefully filed with a crooked judge or not; so I couldn't tell you what's likely to actually happen.
I'm hoping the idiots forgot they don't own all the judges, cause they actually believe everyone loves them and that their farts don't stink. Of course, even then they'd scream and cry about impeaching the judge after not getting what they want. Cause if you can smell the stinky diaper, you're obviously lying, cause their shit don't smell...or something...

It feels like the current judicial outcome is a reasonable federal judge getting smacked down by insane appeals court rulings, which turns the whole thing in to a slow crawl to SCOTUS, who eventually rules on one iota of the case, that is probably moot at that point, and the target owes their lawyers a shit load of money while the DOJ/FBI digs in to their background to harass them ad infinitum.
Pretty much. And we all know the whole thing smells like shit, but they just keep getting away with it.
It might even be worth not filing to dismiss the suit just to get to discovery and see what juicy newsworthy nuggets float up.
