Ok, Kash. Go ahead and file your defamation lawsuit. Then respond to discovery (no stonewalling allowed) or get your case dismissed. Surely they taught you how that works when you were at Pace law school, right?

Like "father" like "son." I guess they figure if they use the same lingo that Trump uses, that they can pretend like their not guilty like he does. They clearly haven't paid attention over the years, if it starts to make him look even worse,... Trump will dump you in a heartbeat.
