There are numerous legal cliffs over which Donald Trump is presently hanging by the sheerest of threads. Criminal prosecutors are investigating him for election interference in Georgia, financial corruption in New York, and insurrection in Washington, D.C. And there are also a couple civil suits in progress over his alleged sexual harassment and assault.
Among the pending cases is one in which Trump has been accused of fomenting racial violence against Latinos and immigrants at his MAGA cult rallies. Those are the rallies wherein he called Mexicans “criminals and rapists,” and he advocated for “roughing up” protestors at his hate mongering events. Now a judge has ordered Trump to give a deposition scheduled for next week:
“Former President Donald Trump must sit for a videotaped deposition next week as part of a lawsuit involving his anti-immigrant rhetoric, a judge in the Bronx ordered.
“A group of Mexican protesters said they were assaulted during a rally outside Trump Tower in September 2015 over the then-candidate’s comments that Mexican immigrants were criminals and rapists.”
This sort of deposition would be concerning to anyone accused of inciting violence. But in Trump’s case it is much more problematic. That’s because Trump is a pathological liar who is incapable of telling the truth for more than a few sentences at a time. Consequently, it is a near certainty that Trump will perjure himself repeatedly.
It will be interesting to see how Trump tries to dodge this deposition. He knows that he can’t refrain from lying because, even if he didn’t have a psychological compulsion to do so, it would mean having to confess his guilt. At the very least, expect Trump to post some furious tweets (via his proxy) attacking the plaintiffs, the judge, and the press, in a futile attempt to deflect from the facts and his fears.

What? No refusing to show up & be deposed for this? Not gonna’ defy their right to question him? Maybe sue over it, drag it out in courts clear up to SCOTUS?
“What gives?!?”
He instantly, flat-out refuses to cooperate when Congress wants to him present at their hearings! In fact, he tells everyone else to illegally defy the subpoenas too. But, is told to go in for a deposition, by a Bronx judge & there’s none of the usual bullshit!!?
He’ll piss & moan in tweets (that Twitter allows to be posted by his taxpayer funded proxy), but apparently not fighting deposition order. Why is that? Congress should be every bit as respected as State Courts, maybe more. So…”what gives?!?”
Bronx judges tougher?
Does Trump know he can pull that shit with Congress, cuz’ he has always gotten away with it…but Bronx judge won’t put up with that crap from him??!!
So, we have impotent Congress? Ah yes, that’s what happens when politics get in the way of laws & getting justice! Maybe Congress should do what they should’ve from the start, with him & all his subpoena defying, lying little minions!
Demand respect & anyone who defys orders needs to be thrown in a cell until they xhange their mind!
“Inherent contempt of Congress” ~ it’s immediate & lets all the rest know they’re serious!
They are serious, aren’t they?
