TFG has withdrawn his lawsuit against Judge Engoron

[LetMyPeopleVote]

This was a very stupid lawsuit that had no effect on this judge's rulings. TFG had to abandon the Cohen lawsuit and now has to surrender on this lawsuit

3. I didn't even know he sued the judge.

I can't keep track of all the people he's sued.

He's a 20 ring circus.

5. Suing the judge who's hearing your case is always a brilliant tactical move.

Maybe a real lawyer told one of these misfit toys that they might want to reconsider? Here's a good explanation of what this aborted lawsuit was about: https://www.thedailybeast.com/inside-trumps-gambit-to-get-rid-of-judge-arthur-engoron-by-suing-him

6. What was the cause for the lawsuit? I can't read it all

7. It was what's called an Article 78 petition -

normally used to try to prevent a judge or other official from doing something unlawful or abusing their authority (it sounds something like a writ of prohibition).

According to New York state law, judges who get hit with this kind of lawsuit are typically represented by the AG’s office. But that would naturally create a conflict here, because the judge is overseeing a case involving the AG. So the court system itself is providing his lawyers, and he’s expected to take no stance at all as the case makes its way through a five-person appellate panel in the next two weeks. On paper, however, the case still creates the appearance of an us-versus-them scenario, with Trump on one side and the judge and AG on the other.

Peress said the decision to target Engoron this way is nothing more than a political gambit—and an empty one at that.

I guess TFG's lawyer-like homunculi finally decided this wasn't such a great idea after all.

8. Real reason: Trump thinks EVERYBODY is afraid of being sued

He knows when he gets sued, it is a real thing cuz he does sue-able crap all the time. Then, after the attempt to bully others by threatening to sue them, he finds out that he would be deposed, AKA exposed. That puts an end to the whole lawsuit attempt to get people to settle out of court.

Bully is a coward whose tool box, like his bank accounts, is empty.
