To the editor: The lawsuit Trump filed against the Des Moines Register and pollster J. Ann Selzer is legally unsound.
The paper revealed a ballot outcome with out malice; that they had each proper to take action. The pollster reported her outcomes, once more, with out malice; she additionally had the fitting to report her findings.
I counsel that, after the case is thrown out, because it virtually absolutely shall be, the aggrieved defendants institute their very own swimsuit towards Trump for abuse of course of and malicious prosecution, each of which may be filed in civil court docket. Since every of those acts occurred outdoors of any presidential energy or authority, the litigation may very well be pursued whereas Trump is in workplace.
Trump may then be pressured to study that vindictiveness can boomerang and create extra issues than it sought to treatment.
