BTW: Since she is suing over what the blogger said about her being so depressed over the plagiarized speech she gave and basically disappearing at that time, am hoping we get to the bottom of mystery woman : Meredith MCIver!

1. The Trumps do love their law suits

[louis-t]

2. It's only the beginning. Look for multiple lawsuits for

telling the truth. It's about intimidation.

[MFM008]

3. people can counter sue

I wouldn't take that from the first escort or the maggot laying down.

4. Note to Rachel

I am not watching you tonight as you are to have your GOP mouthpiece on, Kellyanne.

6. Rachel will probably have to take some serious drugs to interview that hideous woman...

Rachel is too nice to have to be put thru this...

9. "The First Escort"

I like it - thanks!

8. I agree! It is about intimidation.

[randome]

5. The 'concept' of Meredith McIver, indeed, has the potential to do serious damage.

By all means, let's hear more about her.

7. Right! Meredith McIver must be germane to this suit!

[hatrack]

10. Ah, but you're missing the point - it's actually Meredith McGyver!

And you know she'll find a way out of this!

[Madam45for2923]

14. Sneaky lady she!

[LaydeeBug]

11. Oh, I have been on "Where is Melania's speech writer" from JUMP. Discovery. Discovery. Discovery. nt

[Madam45for2923]

12. The news I posted in the OP is about something else, but it made me think of Meredith McIver.

Just weird! -this ghost of a ghostwriter/plagiarizer/troublemaker.

[Initech]

13. They would seriously overturn freedom of the press if they got the chance.

15. When the 8th most visited news website in the world says you were a prostitute

I can see why you'd sue them, and carry on doing so.

Rachel may call it a "not very well regarded tabloid", but Fox News is a not very well regarded TV channel. That doesn't stop it being immensely popular. When they try to slut shame you, and it's an accusation of illegal activity too, they deserve to be sued for millions. The main shareholder in the Mail, the 4th Viscount Rothermere, is a tax-dodging billionaire, and it will be fucking hilarious if his paper has to hand over millions - even if it is to Trump's wife. The world will be a better place if the Mail has less money, and if it thinks twice before doing another slime job on anybody. If she has the class to give any money awarded to a proper charity, that would be extra good, but I won't hold my breath for that.
