Let's face it, tRump is coming apart, physically, mentally, legally and politically, [View all]

everywhere, all at once. It's enough to put a smile on ones face.

In a more serious note, I believe that the WSJ has many very good attorneys. They are not going to let the paper publish anything that is libelous. They would not publish the "Trump letter" story without multiple sources. For those that haven't heard, the letter was solicited by Ghislaine Maxwell in 2003 to be included in an album meant as a 50th birthday present to Epstein. The album was printed by a commercial bookbinder. There were multiple copies. It is a good guess that WSJ has a copy. Trump's threat to sue is part of his general bullshit denial rant. He won't sue. He knows that to sue there would be discovery that would require him to give a deposition under oath. During discovery attorneys can ask questions on any subject. Trump doesn't want to go there. He could pull out his 5th amendment right to silence, but that is tantamount to admitting guilt. His law suit falls apart with no gain for him. I'm fairly confident that we will see a copy of Trump's letter.
