The letter comes after excerpts from a forthcoming book by journalist Michael Wolff were made public Wednesday, causing a stir.
Trump attorney Charles J. Harder of the firm Harder Mirell & Abrams LLP, said in a statement, "This law firm represents President Donald J. Trump and Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. On behalf of our clients, legal notice was issued today to Stephen K. Bannon, that his actions of communicating with author Michael Wolff regarding an upcoming book give rise to numerous legal claims including defamation by libel and slander, and breach of his written confidentiality and non-disparagement agreement with our clients. Legal action is imminent."
In the letter to Bannon, Harder, writes, "You [Bannon] have breached the Agreement by, among other things, communicating with author Michael Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members, and the Company, disclosing Confidential Information to Mr. Wolff, and making disparaging statements and in some cases outright defamatory statements to Mr. Wolff about Mr. Trump, his family members, and the Company, knowing that they would be included in Mr. Wolff’s book and publicity surrounding the marketing and sale of his book."
You know a confidentiality agreement may work for keeping things quiet during a campaign, but when Bannon worked in the White House he was then employed by the American people, not Donald J. Trump. So he was no longer bound by an NDA he may have signed in years past.
And if he sent a letter like this to Bannon, did he also send one to his daughter?
Courtesy of the New York Post:
Daughter Ivanka Trump often makes fun of her dad’s comb-over to friends and delights in explaining how the crazy coiffure comes together, according to “Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House.”
“She often described the mechanics behind it to friends: an absolutely clean pate — a contained island after scalp-reduction surgery — surrounded by a furry circle of hair around the sides and front, from which all ends are drawn up to meet in the center and then swept back and secured by a stiffening spray,” journalist Michael Wolff writes in the book, out Jan. 9.
“The color, she would point out to comical effect, was from a product called Just for Men — the longer it was left on, the darker it got. Impatience resulted in Trump’s orange-blond hair color.”
Oh that's going to leave a mark.
Apparently at least one of Trump's attorneys realized that you cannot stop a book by attacking its sources.
Okay let's all hold our breath waiting for this to happen.NEW this am: Trump attorneys send cease-and-desist letter this morning to Wolff and book publisher @HenryHolt demanding they stop publication and issue an apology to @realDonaldTrump for defamatory statements made thus far.— Carol Leonnig (@CarolLeonnig) January 4, 2018
And if Trump's attorneys want to pursue this line of attack they may want to keep this in mind:
Michael Wolff has tapes to back up quotes in his incendiary book — dozens of hours of them.
Among the sources he taped, I'm told, are Bannon and former White House deputy chief of staff Katie Walsh.
I imagine that Wolff and his publishers are desperate for Trump to try and sue them, as that will ensure that this book is a bestseller.
No the time to stop this book was while Michael Wolff was wandering the White House gathering the information, not after huge chunks have already been leaked to the media.
I can hardly wait to buy my copy.

"“Ivanka, according to the later recollection of her team, would shortly leave the meeting, take a PILL, and go to sleep,” Wolff reported. “Jared (Kushner), in the telling of his team, might have been there, but he was ‘not taking a pencil to anything.'”
“Nearby, in a small conference room watching the movie ‘Fargo,'” Wolff reported, “were Dina Powell, Gary Cohn, Stephen Miller, and H. R. McMaster, all of whom would later insist that they were, however physically close to the unfolding crisis, removed from it.”
"Mark Corallo, the former spokesman for Trump’s legal team">“that he believed the meeting on Air Force One represented a likely obstruction of justice.”"“The three senior guys in the campaign … thought it was a good idea to meet with a foreign government inside Trump Tower in the conference room on the twenty-fifth floor — with no lawyers,” Bannon told Wolff. “They didn’t have any lawyers. Even if you thought that this was not treasonous, or unpatriotic, or bad sh*t, and I happen to think it’s all of that, you should have called the FBI immediately.”"

"“You guys should just get married,” the president reportedly said. That’s when Kushner, an Orthodox Jew, cut in with a suggestion that he could marry the couple.
“I’m an internet Unitarian minister,” Kushner said. Trump reportedly took umbrage at the suggestion, asking why the couple would have Kushner officiate their wedding when they could be married by the president of the United States at Mar-a-Lago."It’s possible Kushner is ordained through the Universal Life Church, which offers quick online ordinations to anyone who wants one, including this reporter. But he almost certainly isn’t a Unitarian minister."Only an individual congregation can ordain a minister — something called “congregational polity” — and congregations are free to ordain whomever they like.""Kushner may be an internet minister, but he isn’t a Unitarian one."

In their view, the country is divided into whites, particularly white men, and everyone else. White men can serve on a grand jury, but if anyone else serves on a grand jury then the proceedings lack legitimacy.
ReplyDeleteThe obvious point here is to undermine the credibility of the investigation into the Trump campaign’s dealings with the Russians. Not only is the FBI biased, but the grand jury pool is biased, too. They might as well be peace-shirt wearing hippies and black militants from Berkeley and Oakland. They’re not going to give the president a fair shake.
Of course, Steve Bannon just dropped a nuclear bomb on this strategy by accusing the president, his son, his son-in-law, and his former campaign chief of committing treason.

DeleteThe Republican just won that “draw” in Virginia’s house race.
ReplyDeleteWell, of course they did.
First, they made an invalid ballot valid again so the Republican could TIE the Democrat who won, forcing the draw.
Then the courts deemed it legal and forced the draw.
Then the Democrat asked the Republican to agree to waive recount no matter who won the draw, which he REFUSED.
No one can tell me this wasn’t rigged by the Republicans, for the Republicans, just so they could win that seat and keep their 51/49 majority.
I say the Democrat should piss on them all and demand another recount. She has the right under the law and she should take it.
Fuck the Republicans. Time to FIGHT BACK. No more of this high road, adult in the room, be the better person CRAP.

Every year I take on a personal challenge to learn something new. I've visited every US state, run 365 miles, built an AI for my home, read 25 books, and learned Mandarin.
I started doing these challenges in 2009. That first year the economy was in a deep recession and Facebook was not yet profitable. We needed to get serious about making sure Facebook had a sustainable business model. It was a serious year, and I wore a tie every day as a reminder.
Today feels a lot like that first year. The world feels anxious and divided, and Facebook has a lot of work to do -- whether it's protecting our community from abuse and hate, defending against interference by nation states, or making sure that time spent on Facebook is time well spent.
My personal challenge for 2018 is to focus on fixing these important issues. We won't prevent all mistakes or abuse, but we currently make too many errors enforcing our policies and preventing misuse of our tools. If we're successful this year then we'll end 2018 on a much better trajectory.
This may not seem like a personal challenge on its face, but I think I'll learn more by focusing intensely on these issues than I would by doing something completely separate. These issues touch on questions of history, civics, political philosophy, media, government, and of course technology. I'm looking forward to bringing groups of experts together to discuss and help work through these topics.
For example, one of the most interesting questions in technology right now is about centralization vs decentralization. A lot of us got into technology because we believe it can be a decentralizing force that puts more power in people's hands. (The first four words of Facebook's mission have always been "give people the power".) Back in the 1990s and 2000s, most people believed technology would be a decentralizing force.
But today, many people have lost faith in that promise. With the rise of a small number of big tech companies — and governments using technology to watch their citizens — many people now believe technology only centralizes power rather than decentralizes it.
There are important counter-trends to this --like encryption and cryptocurrency -- that take power from centralized systems and put it back into people's hands. But they come with the risk of being harder to control. I'm interested to go deeper and study the positive and negative aspects of these technologies, and how best to use them in our services.
This will be a serious year of self-improvement and I'm looking forward to learning from working to fix our issues together."
read 25 books. i read 25 a month. been overseas. took courses. went out of Wisconsin a number of times and learned i wouldn't live any where else. hate technology. it runs faster than we do. our lives are being eaten up by it. now you don't even have to touch a light switch.

“What has he gotten himself into with the Russians?” pressed Ailes.
“Mostly,” said Bannon, “he went to Russia and he thought he was going to meet Putin. But Putin couldn’t give a shit about him. So he’s kept trying.” …I’ll call him,” said Ailes. “But Trump would jump through hoops for Rupert. Like for Putin. Sucks up and shits down.

DeleteDonald Trump threatens Steve Bannon, and it quickly backfires
ReplyDelete...Even if no one sues anyone and these two men are just huffing and puffing at each other, Bannon just won their feud. Trump tried to use his wealth, his fancy lawyers, and his power as (supposed) President of the United States to scare Bannon into backing down. Bannon responded by signaling that he just doesn’t give a damn anymore.
Maybe that’s because Steve Bannon is sitting on enough evidence to send Donald Trump to prison, and he therefore knows Trump can’t really hurt him. Maybe Bannon is just so recklessly bent on revenge that he doesn’t care if he takes himself down by going after Trump. Either way, Bannon thinks he has nothing left to lose. He knows most or all of Trump’s secrets.

"Michael Wolff tweeted Thursday that his book, Fire and Fury, will be released on Friday, Jan. 5, in response to legal actions by Trump’s lawyer. It was originally scheduled for release on Jan. 9."
"Trump’s lawyers issued cease-and-desist letters to Wolff and publisher Henry Holt & Co., seeking to stop the book’s distribution. In response, the publisher is releasing the book early, calling the work “an extraordinary contribution to our national discourse.”"
(I'm sure there was a thank you for the free publicity, Dullard, in there somewhere.)
Oh, here it is, in a tweet the President is sure to read.
"Michael Wolff, the author of the book, said on Twitter that the publication date will now be on Friday. “Here we go. You can buy it (and read it) tomorrow. Thank you, Mr. President,” he wrote."

"Any lawsuits by President Donald Trump against former chief strategist Steve Bannon or the author and publisher of a book depicting a chaotic White House and Trump as out of his depth would almost certainly fail and could lead to more damaging disclosures, legal experts said."
"Alan Dershowitz, an emeritus law professor at Harvard Law School, said a libel lawsuit by Trump would be a “terrible mistake” and “a nonstarter” that “no reasonable lawyer would recommend.”"
No, no reasonable lawyer would recommend. But Trump is not a reasonable lawyer. He's not a lawyer at all. And has Wolff has pointed out in the book. Trump thinks he's an expert on everything and is certainly ignoring the advice of counsel and is acting on his own because he thinks he's a fucking expert on everything.

"He trusted his own expertise — no matter how paltry or irrelevant — more than anyone else’s. He was often confident, but he was just as often paralyzed, less a savant than a figure of sputtering and dangerous insecurities, whose instinctive response was to lash out and behave as if his gut, however confused, was in fact in some clear and forceful way telling him what to do. It was, said [deputy chief of staff Katie] Walsh, ‘like trying to figure out what a child wants.’”"
Man. I hope this book drives him over the edge into the looney bin or a coroner's table.
he's there already. he's over. soon we will be free or dead from nukes. i've made my peace.
