Donald Trump is threatening a conservative critic, but the president might see the tables get turned on him.
Ex-GOP strategist Rick Wilson on Wednesday published an article on Substack called, "Trump Is Threatening to Sue Me. Again," in which the conservative declares, "They never learn."
"Donald Trump is threatening to sue me. Again. Let me summarize it for you in the technical legal language this matter deserves: F--- you, Donald. At this point, it’s less 'see you in court' and more 'see you in the theater of the absurd,' because we both know how this game goes," he wrote. "Trump and his lawyers crank out a faux-serious letter full of bluster, distortion, and (my favorite) misquotations, and I get to publish my lawyer’s response."
Wilson added, "Spoiler: our reply is smarter, meaner, funnier, and far more rooted in reality than anything that oozes out of whatever legal mooks Trump is deploying this time."
As Wilson tells it, Trump is lobbing false allegations.
"Their current spasm is over a video in which I described how MAGA reacts when their hero is cornered. According to Trump’s team, I said: 'It distracts them from the fact that Donald Trump is a corrupt and sick pedophile.' Whoopsie. Not quite," Wilson then wrote, clarifying that he had been misquoted. "Only problem? That’s not what I said. What I actually said was: 'They’ll use this to give the MAGA something to crow over because it distracts them from thinking about the fact that Donald Trump is a corrupt and sick pedophile.' See the difference? It’s not subtle. Context matters."
Wilson went on to threaten Trump and his whole admin with his legal moves.
"Imagine Donald being forced to explain, under oath, every last detail of his long and ugly history with Epstein, Miss Teen USA, Howard Stern, his weird incesty-seeming objectification of his daughter, and all the rest. Imagine him sitting for a deposition with actual lawyers, not sycophants. The Lincoln Project would sell tickets," Wilson wrote. "If he tries, we will depose Trump at excruciating length. We will depose Melania Trump, who we believe has relevant information not only concerning Donald Trump’s personal character, but also had knowledge and interactions with Jeffrey Epstein."
The strategist also said, "We will depose Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel, Dan Bongino, and the 1,000 FBI staff who were dispatched to discover Trump’s name in the Epstein Files. None of them serves as Trump’s personal counsel, and they do not have the benefit of attorney-client privilege."
