"It was not that the Complaint and Amended Complaint were inadequate in any respect, they were inadequate in nearly every respect" Had me absolutely dying, imagine having to write that as a seasoned judge

[timothy]

The fact these lawyers aren't disbarred is unbelievable

[cardboardtier]

If the punishment for a crime is only a fine, then it's only illegal for the poor. This fine means literally nothing to these people.

[GhostOfRazgiz]

Seriously, isn't there a federal ethics board regarding lawers and judges? Someone who has the authority to step in and stop this nonsense?

[ernstzumach]

suggesting bad lawyers to learn cooking so they do something useful is the most professional insult I`ve heard in a long time 😂

[gleitsonSalles]

Wait, in the U.S A LAWYER CAN GO LIVE ON TELEVISION TO PROMOTE HIS CASE? If you do this here in Brazil you will lose your license.

[QuesoCookies]

What does it actually take to get disbarred? I feel like there should be a strike system for filing frivolous suits. Make grifters and the SLAPP happy radioactive to lawyers. Might do a lot to curb these behaviors.

[flashgordon]

So basically if you have money in the US, you are free to harass anyone endlessly with lawsuits, independently if you win or lose?! That's beyond nuts.

[graphospasm]

Honestly what's most crazy to me about all this is that there was no penalty for trying to incite stochastic terrorism by mentioning their home addresses many times. The only reason they would do it is in the hopes someone gets attacked.

[Dramatic_Gaming]

Telling a billionaire that the penalty for repeated blatant abuses of the justice system is *a fine* is basically saying there is no penalty at all.

EDIT: Wow, a lot of you are *really* getting hung up on the wrong part of this post.

[chriskelly]

“The former president looked at me and said drop it we can’t win” These people are the worst liars. All that statement is missing is him calling her “ma’am”.

[jackw]

The fact that they continually put the defendants home addresses on public documents just shows how reckless they are and they are deliberately trying to get these people hurt. That should be illegal.

[reid]

Imagine being the lawyer in the New York case when they saw how the conspiracy case went, imagine the sheer terror on realizing you were facing the same judge

[danielhale]

How is it possible these lawyers aren't disbarred? And only a million dollars? That's pocket change for the corrupt fundraisers.

[codacreator]

I understand that the UK has a law that can result in disbarment for attorneys who file superfluous suits… we should do that, too.

[MadMrMatter]

It's insane ppl can abuse the courts like this. The fact Rich ppl can do this, to just about anyone they choose, is a big mark on our claim of being the 'most free country on earth'.

[ohiasdxfcghbljokasdjhnfvawehr]

anyone that remotely abuses the legal system should be permanently disbarred, and all their previous actions should be scrutinized. and don't forget jail time.

[AdamBladeTaylor]

How all these lawyers have been immediately disbarred for the blatantly false lawsuits is beyond me. There are apparently no standards in the legal profession.
I dated a lawyer. She was always terrified of making any sort of mistake in filing because it could mean losing her law license. But then, we're in Canada, where lawyers are expected to follow the law.

[jerrylong]

This is why in every state, and federally, we need anti SLAPP laws.

[kathleenmccrory]

Just because you put all the words you know on paper doesn't mean that you just authored the next 'Anna Karenina'. His lawyers are an affront to the legal profession.
