[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would Cohen drop his defamation lawsuits regarding the Steele dossier? Too busy with other issues? Knows he wouldn't win? Trying not to be questioned?[/quote]

Because Cohen WAS in Prague and the truth is an unbeatable defense in a defamation suit. And now that the Feds have all his papers Cohen wouldn't be able to hide things during discovery.[/quote]

But why would he have sued in the first place?  It's a bizarre action if he was never in Prague, it's beyond bizarre if he was in Prague but thought he was sneaky enough that nobody would ever figure it out.  [/quote]

He’s a bully.  And a dumb one to boot.[/quote]

It’s actually an increasingly popular tactic for the right wing to bring meritless defamation suits to silence their critics.  They don’t care if they can never win—they just want the critics to spend millions defending themselves  so it scares off more critics.  They can ask the Court to keep everything under seal up until trial, at which point they settle or drop the case so none of it becomes public.  It’s awful and there’s a lot of respected lawyers skirting Rule 11 with these cases.  [/quote]
