Trump ordered to pay legal bill of U.K. firm he sued over Russia dossier

President Trump filed a claim in 2022 against Orbis Business Intelligence, a consulting firm founded by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele.

Los Angeles Times

In addition to thinking Trump is a power-loving evil genius, and that he's OK assasinating leaders of other nations and with using #NuclearWeapons, my guesses:

He thinks he's gonna live practically for ever.
The #PeeTapes, along with the most the rest of that stuff, were planted in the #SteeleDossier by Russia in a successful disinformation campaign. But "pee" was included as a mindfuck aimed at Trump. I suspect #1 or #2 tapes exist.

#Assasination

Yesterday a #Federal judge barred parts of an insane illegal heavy handed and chilling childlike #DJT #ExecutiveOrder targeting exclusively employees and clients of a large influential #DC #beltway #lawfirm he doesn't like.

Known as #PerkinsCoie , the 100+ yr old firm started in #Seattle and has long represented biz & top tech clients including #Amazon & #Microsoft etc, as well as many other #Fortune500 names .

The #RWNJ #HoiPolloi anger at the firm has to do with the fact #PerkinsCoie attorneys helped commission the embarrassing and disputed #SteeleDossier that included allegations against a failed NJ casino operator turned political candidate.who eventually became President TWICE!

The far reaching petty #policestate and draconian #Drumpf overreach would've made it virtually impossible for #employees or any of the 1000+ #attorneys at the firm to do biz in #DC . The order barred firm partners from even speaking to #federalemployees, or to physically enter any govt #property including #courtrooms etc.

The temporary restraining order doesn't address a limit placed on law firm employees' security clearances.

The Hidden History of Trump’s First Trip to Moscow

In 1987, a young real estate developer traveled to the Soviet Union. The KGB almost certainly made the trip happen.

Admittedly i have #trumpderangementsyndrome but i still buy into the #steeledossier. Here's #gift article from #wapo about Steele's new book. As with other #intelligence he himself figures he's 70% accurate. It aligns so well with what is well known about #trump, i suspect he underestimates his own credibility.

The Steele dossier author promises more Trump dirt. Will anyone buy it?

In a new book, “Unredacted,” Christopher Steele unveils the fruits of fresh sleuthing and warns that Trump is a threat to democracy.
