Trump's lawyers are slamming are crying foul about "excessive and impermissibly broad" attempts to put the "events" of Jan. 6 on trial in his defamation lawsuit.

After moving to throw out the “entire” case, arguing that Trump couldn’t establish jurisdiction and failed to state a claim, the BBC defendants anticipated that extensive Jan. 6-related discovery would show Trump can’t “prove that he did not foment or incite the January 6 Capitol riot.”

“[H]e cannot now prevent Defendants from seeking records that would shed light on his true knowledge, intent, and state of mind in delivering his speech at the Ellipse,” the defendants argued.

    This is exactly why the pedophile doesn’t sue anyone for defamation for calling him a FUCKING PEDOPHILE!

    Because he’s a fucking pedophile and discovery will attest to it, no doubt!

      I wish somebody with a little more teeth would say it into the camera though. Like, imagine if a senator just fucking said that, “Donald Trump is a pedophile”, on Meet the Press? But they might have to quit suckling the year teat of corporate donors if they did something like that. I’m quite looking forward to Platner hopefully being a frequent disturbance in the stupid show of decorum they all pretend to have.
