you know, donald trump is 74 years old and my theory is he is going to be a defendant for the rest of his life. there are civil lawsuits out there now. there will be appeals, and there is eric swalwell, and that lawsuit is available to hundreds of members of congress who could each individually file one of those lawsuits against donald trump. there could be no end. the when benny thompson filed the first civil lawsuit against trump, and eric swalwell filed a different one what i thought was going to happen, is benny thompson would go first, and other members of the congress would decide they wanted to join in. i didn t realize, if anyone had slightly different approaches to the same problem, it could be a parade that lasts until the end of his life. i spend the day studying eric swalwell s lawsuit. we are going to be juned by the harvard constitutional law. fp he tells us this is a real lawsuit and it won t be dismissed. it will get to a jury. it will get to a washingto
