trump over 3,500 lawsuits

[dherd]

An exclusive USA TODAY analysis of legal filings across the United States finds that the presumptive Republican presidential nominee and his businesses have been involved in at least 3,500 legal actions in federal and state courts during the past three decades. They range from skirmishes with casino patrons to million-dollar real estate suits to personal defamation lawsuits.

Just since he announced his candidacy a year ago, at least 70 new cases have been filed, about evenly divided between lawsuits filed by him and his companies and those filed against them. And the records review found at least 50 civil lawsuits remain open even as he moves toward claiming the nomination at the Republican National Convention in Cleveland in seven weeks. On Tuesday, court documents were released in one of the most dramatic current cases, filed in California by former students accusing Trump University of fraudulent and misleading behavior.

the New York State Department of Finance has obtained liens on Trump properties for unpaid tax bills at least three dozen times.

No candidate of a major party has had anything approaching the number of Trump’s courtroom entanglements.

5,000 suits are filed against WalMart every year (http://www.workplacefairness.org/reports/good-bad-wal-mart/wal-mart.php)

what's your point?

Alan Garten, general counsel for the Trump Organization, said in an interview that the number and tenor of the court cases is the “cost of doing business” and on par with other companies of a similar size. "I think we have far less litigation of companies of our size," he said.

However, even by those measures, the number of cases in which Trump is involved is extraordinary. For comparison, USA TODAY analyzed the legal involvement for five top real-estate business executives: Edward DeBartolo, shopping-center developer and former San Francisco 49ers owner; Donald Bren, Irvine Company chairman and owner; Stephen Ross, Time Warner Center developer; Sam Zell, Chicago real-estate magnate; and Larry Silverstein, a New York developer famous for his involvement in the World Trade Center properties.

To maintain an apples-to-apples comparison, only actions that used the developers' names were included. The analysis found Trump has been involved in more legal skirmishes than all five of the others — combined

And I'm sure those names were just drawn at random

So, you're saying that Bill couldn't hide a blowjob from the nation, but he can have 90 people killed and still walk around free. Sounds reasonable.

"during Bill Clinton’s terms in office, IRS audits were conducted against individuals and groups who caused problems for the administration.

Individuals singled out for audits during the administration included Clinton paramours Flowers and Gracen and sexual assault accusers Jones and Broaddrick."

Do you not understand the word "credible"?

"In 1995, the White House and the Democratic National Committee produced a 331-page report entitled "Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce" that attacked magazines, think tanks and other entities and individuals who had criticized President Clinton. In the subsequent years, many organizations mentioned in the White House report were hit by IRS audits. More than 20 conservative organizations—including the Heritage Foundation and the American Spectator magazine—and almost a dozen individual high-profile Clinton accusers, such as Paula Jones and Gennifer Flowers, were audited."

[andy4theherd]

An official with the Internal Revenue Service has admitted that legal opponents of former President Bill Clinton were singled out for tax audits, according to court documents made public this week.

"What do you expect when you sue the president?" senior IRS official Paul Breslan told Judicial Watch, the Washington-based legal watchdog group that had filed 50-plus legal actions against the Clinton administration and subsequently found itself in the IRS's cross hairs.

"In the subsequent years, many organizations mentioned in the White House report...." How many subsequent years? How many liberal organizations were audited during the same years? I was audited in a subsequent year. Was it due to me criticizing clinton?

THE OPINION PIECE YOU QUOTE WAS FROM 2013. THE QUOTE FROM BELOW IS FROM THE OPINION PIECE.
THE INVESTIGATIONS THE OPINION WRITER FORSAW PRODUCING PROOF INSTEAD CLEARED THE IRS AND THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION FROM ANY WRONG DOING. BUT HERE IS THIS IDIOT 3 YEARS AFTER REPUBLICAN INVESTIGATIONS FOUND NO WRONG DOING STILL QUOTING IT. REPUBLICANS REALLY DO LIVE IN THE DARK AGES. ALL THE OTHER CRAP YOU PUT OUT HAS NO BASIS IN ANY FINDING BY ANY INVESTIGATION
IF SO PEOPLE WOULD BE IN JAIL. NO ONE IS. SO STFU CLOWN.

FUNNY THING IS THAT YOU CLOWNS ARE ALWAYS OUTRAGED AT YOUR CONSPIRACY THEORIES THAT ALWAYS
COME UP DRY. WHILE AT THE SAME TIME DEFENDING CROOKS FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR ACTUAL
SCANDALS THAT ARE SO PLENTIFUL THAT THEY JUST BUBBLE UP LIKE JED CLAMPETTS OIL WITHOUT ANYONE
EVEN LOOKING FOR THEM. THEN WHEN THEY ARE CONVICTED YOU JUST PRETEND IT NEVER HAPPENED.

With the current IRS scandal, we may have seen only the tip of the iceberg. Thorough congressional investigations would no doubt help reveal the extent of the operation, and the criminal investigation announced by the Justice Department on Tuesday may prove fruitful as well.

Greed, you just make yourself look like an idiot, constantly. You can't possibly believe that the targeting didn't take place. It's just like Obama holding up the non-profit IRS filings of conservative organizations. You still denying that happened also?

I'm not sure one way or the other regarding the audits under clinton.

I'm not aware of a single investigation into the obama non profit IRS conservative organizations ever turning up evidence that the White House played a role in the targeting of tea party groups.

Discussing politics with conservatives makes you want to bash your head into the wall, but knowing conservatives got a head start bashing their heads at an early age.

You have to understand 2 things when discussing anything with eg: (1) he's a f*cking moron; and (2) he questions the credibility of any link or source that he disagrees with.

Fact checking never has been tolerated well by conservatives. This forum has proven that consistently.

Thats hilarious. You reference breitbart, trump's attorneys, wnd, and assorted conspiracy theory sites while condemning reputable fact checking sites.

and you think by saying these sites are conspiracy sites etc means you are right. Ever consider besides Dherd you are the only 2 on here that agree with anything either of you say?

You idiot. Nearly every conservative in the nation has said "mean things" about Obama. Has nearly every conservative been audited recently?

Was there a proven case of wrong doing? If not, it's not a scandal, it's simply an unfounded accusation as usual by a poor little picked on con.

See, this is exactly what makes you such a laughingstock on this board, and probably everywhere you express your opinion. Your inability, or unwillingness, to put together facts that are know to take the next logical step. So your contention is that the IRS, with no prodding and no direction, one day decided that they would sit on all the conservative applications for non-profit status. The fact that this was done in the years leading up to Obama's re-election run was nothing but pure coincidence and if Obama would have found out about it, he would have put an abrupt halt to the practice and encouraged those IRS employees to get those apps processed as quickly as possible?

See, that's what they call being intellectually dishonest, arguing against something that you believe is very likely true just to protect your now decimated position or belief. People who are intellectual dishonest destroy the value of open discussion because if you can't even be honest with yourself you are better served to avoid interaction with anyone else.

Nope. You and other cons see 1 + 1 and decide the answer must be 3 and will add anything to the equation in an attempt to make it so. The fact that the answer is not 3 cannot be conceived by such as you and you totally ignore the fact that the Federal Bureau of Investigation announced that it had found no evidence warranting the filing of federal criminal charges.
