I'm fascinated to see what the judge will even do with this. How do these idiot lawyers that Trump hired not know that you have to commence an action before you can file a motion?

Trump is doing this pro se.

The attorneys did not sign the document.

Actually he filed it pro se but then there were three attorneys who signed the document. So all four of their brains together couldn’t even do that right.

It gives DOJ a really good opportunity to respond to all of that bullsh!t with filings full of facts.

Sure they did. It is signed by Lindsey Halligan, James Trusty, and Evan Corcoran on page 21.

Perhaps. It may just get bounced by the clerk for failing to comply with the most basic procedural rules. The certificate of service also says they served the Government by email, which is not a permissible method of service for new actions.

It was filed on the civil docket as if it were a new civil case even though it complies with none of the requirements of the FRCP or local rules. Seems like the clerk’s office threw up their hands with this Frankenstein’s monster of a lolsuit filing and will let the judge Dort it out. The argument itself is tantamount to a waaaaaahmbulance with no supporting affidavits or other admissible evidentiary basis.

If you look at the civil cover sheet to the original filing (page 28 of the linked document above), it's supposedly signed by one of the attorneys who had not even filed a pro hac motion (which is procedurally improper), but is signed in black sharpie with a distinctive spiky signature. Who in this scenario has a spiky personal signature and a penchant for black sharpies?

You know anyone can type "/s/ [INSERT NAME]" in a document, right? Here:

/s/ Donald J. Trump

Do you really believe this post was signed by Donald Trump?

Since there's no summons or service, I wouldn't be surprised if the Government just ignores it and files nothing at all.

That is a completely normal way for attorneys to sign court filings. If someone fraudulently signed their names in a court filing, this is going to get even more interesting.

The summons won't issue until they pay the filing fee, which of course was not paid when the original filing was made. Trump stiffs everyone else, of course he tried to stiff the court too.

I know it's a completely normal way for attorneys to sign court filings. I signed filings that way all the time (or, more accurately, an associate or paralegal signs them with my name that way all the time). The point is that a simple typed signature in no way serves as evidence the signature is valid. It's not like it's an ink signature you can compare to prior signatures (which is why the black sharpie signature on the civil cover sheet is interesting).

Also, attorneys who have not yet been admitted pro hac are not supposed to sign filings, which a real attorney would know. They would also know that a partial pro hac motion doesn't get filed as a part of the original filing.
