    They have the letter in their possession. This suit will go nowhere. Also ‘assault’? Some lawyer wants to get chewed out by a judge.

      The suit isn’t intended to go anywhere, like most of A trumps personal lawsuits. It’s about giving the illusion someone else did something wrong. And once people forget about it because other shit is in the media, they’ll quietly drop it. In the meantime it forces the WSJ to waste money and lawyer’s time defending a frivolous lawsuit.

        i dunno, i think there’s a pretty good chance the wsj just bends over and issues a retraction and apology without ever going to court, so trump gets to claim another legal “”“win”“”

      Actually, wouldn’t it be good if a judge were to confirm that the article was accurate along with the described letter? As good as it gets if you can all but publish a copy of it, no?
