  So funny my internal dialogue uses that all the time as well.
context: It's plainly obvious he's trying to hide something. The question is whether that "something" is already at least partially known about, or if it's totally new information. >
  
  They are being sued for what Cohen says will probably be around a billion dollars. So any very slim chance of delay or reducing the scope of the trial is worth them spending a comparatively small amount of money on.
  It did not work. There was no dismissal and there was no change to the trial date. The trial date is still the beginning of October. They offered NO defence in pretrial, this is virtually an admission of guilt, there is too much evidence in black and white. The lawsuit will be successful, just as many have been against Trump companies in the past. 
  The bank fraud aspect should lead to criminal charges but Alvin Bragg who would handle the case seems to be very wary of prosecuting Trump. >
  
  Trump has always tried to delay, obfuscate and deny until the very last moment, at which he settles for full asking. That’s exactly what he did with Trump university and the DC hotel lawsuits. 
  The issues is here; he doesn’t have a $1bn. If he loses, he’s bankrupt. And not, investors are bag holders like NJ tax payers. He’s actually personally bankrupt.
  Shit will get wild as he loses this one. He’ll get desperate and probably try to start a civil war. Seriously watch what happens. This is an existential threat to Trump and if he loses he’ll go doomsday. >
  
  He's literally playing for time, hoping to keep the ball in the air until he dies. 
  Imagine all the people around him, betting on him. They must be panicking. >

  So Trump will file an appeal on the motion and delay another 8 weeks. >
  
  This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 80%. (I'm a bot)
  
  
  A New York state judge on Friday rejected a motion from former President Trump to dismiss a lawsuit filed against him by New York Attorney General Letitia James, allowing the case to proceed.
  James sued Trump and three of his adult children - Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump and Ivanka Trump - in September following a three-year investigation into whether the former president inflated the value of his properties to his investors to get loans and deflated the value on tax forms.
  Engoron separately rejected a motion from Ivanka Trump to dismiss the complaint against her.

  Well, yes, it certainly would have been much easier if Trump had held up a bodega instead of committing 50 crimes--including federal, state, and civil--and including things we don't even know about yet, which has led to the largest and most serious investigation in the history of the US. >
  
  I think the problem is that like most criminals when they know they’re being investigated, he just goes into crime overdrive committing crimes as fast as he can so the investigation can never be over and since he’s rich unless the investigation has been fully finished he can’t be charged with anything. >
  
  I was literally going to type this. It's the same as when he was president. You can't have a scandal if every single news cycle brings another 5 scandals. He throws so much shit at the wall there's no place to start. >
  
  I don't know why, but when I read a headline like this my brain automatically subjects me to a Nelson's "Haha"...
  Not that I mind... If anything Trump has gotten away with too much shit for way too long... even if the same could be said of pretty much every Billionaire... 
  Trump is an especially odious piece of shit, but money being a get out of jail free card is way more pervasive than just that asshole...
