Former White House Counsel During Watergate Has an Interesting Idea for Facebook’s Litigation Strategy against Donald Trump

Although allowing Trump’s case to proceed through discovery would certainly be a costly proposition for the media company defendants, the allure of a Donald Trump deposition relating to the events of January 6th could certainly be tempting. Deposing a plaintiff would be standard practice in such a case, and even though the events related to the Jan. 6th siege on the U.S. Capitol Complex are directly relevant to Trump’s suspension from various social media sites, the questions put to Mr. Trump would be wide-reaching, as there is no requirement that attorneys limit their inquiries in the same manner that would be required at trial. Furthermore, now that Trump is no longer a sitting president, he will be unable to invoke the Clinton v. Jones rule that the court need be deferential to his schedule.

Filing this suit might be the dumbest thing 45 has ever done.

1. Except that the social media companies have no desire to

be good citizens. Zuck certainly doesn't want to confront Trump.

2. Zuckerberg would NEVER face Trump. The deposition is done through the attorneys.
