And whine like the toddler he is.

There’s no way he’s going to give up all the solid evidence of his criminality. So, he pulls his signature TACO maneuver and poof! Lawsuit withdrawn. 😂

That's how you confront a shakedown.

he should have known better. Now he's just drunk on power and out of control.

for his shrinking base of yahoos

Hell, it was suggested to me tonight that the Short-Fingered Vulgarian will just text he won, and the rubes will believe it.

He has done that so many times, that now he believes he can tell them anything and they'll believe it. I think his luck is starting to wear off. He pushed it too far and less of his supporters are falling for his old crap.

All he has to do is mention "discovery" and the lawyers for Chump all scurry away.

Distress and anguish etc, financial damage, reputational damage ( )

The records are relevant to that I believe.

To the extent that Trump claims he suffered psychologically and financially, the Board is demanding that he prove it.

That's not to say that they haven't also maximised their request for discovery for tactical reasons.

The scope of discovery is broad.

For instance, in a deposition, your attorney can preserve objections, but can't, with narrow exceptions, instruct or allow you not to answer.

For interrogatories, you can seek admissible information or information that might reasonably lead to admissible information.

IOW: Once you sue somebody, prepare to have your entire life examined.

Things may not be admissible in court, but they most likely can be found out in discovery.

Relevance is still the initial threshold.

Florida Rule of Civil Procedure 1.280(c)(1):

Did he really think everyone would just succumb to his insanity without any pushback?

Discovery process. Will trump comply or drop the suit now?

he just expects people to CAVE

The County where the case was brought is deep deep red -- over 76 percent voted for Trump. The elected judges in the county will suppress the discovery request as soon as Trump asks them to do so.

Wonder what will happen?!?

they're not bending the knee or outright caving to that fascist fuck - THROW HIS OWN TACTICS RIGHT BACK AT HIM

The state court judges in Okeechobee are elected in what are described as "non partisan" contests. But it would be naive to think that the judges in the county are anything other than Trumpers and that they won't rule in Trump's favor when he moves to quash these discovery requests as overbroad. Not saying it would be the correct decision -- it wouldn't -- but just suggesting that there is no way Trump drops his complaint because of this discovery request.
