Trump's Lawyers Say He Was ‘Too Busy’ To Sue Hillary Clinton Before Statute Of Limitations Expired - YouTube

So Trump's lawsuit against Hillary Clinton
and the DNC, and so many other individuals for
[6]
spreading those false rumors that his campaign
was somehow compromised by Russia in the 2016
[12]
election, uh, that lawsuits hit another snag. And
that snag is that Hillary Clinton, of course, has
[17]
filed a motion saying this entire case needs to
be dismissed because the statute of limitations,
[22]
which was only four years, by the way, actually
expired last October. So on October 29th, 2017
[36]
was when these alleged, you know, statements were
made. As such, you would have until October 29th,
[46]
2021 to file a defamation lawsuit. But Trump
didn't file his lawsuit until April of this year.
[55]
So Hillary Clinton says, hey, guess what? We ran
out the clock. There's nothing you can do. So
[61]
Trump's lawyers last week went to court and they
said, all right, sure, it's true. We, uh, missed
[66]
the statute of limitations, but that is only
because Donald Trump, you know, I don't know if
[71]
you know this, but for four years, the dude was so
busy being the president of the United States that
[78]
he just didn't have time to file the lawsuit.
You can't, you, you can't fault him for that.
[83]
So, you know, you gotta, you gotta brush
aside the statute of limitations here,
[88]
is what Donald Trump's legal team is asking this
judge, judge Donald Middlebrooks in Florida.
[94]
Now here's the thing. Sure, Donald Trump was
president for four years and that probably made
[100]
it a little more difficult for him to file
a lawsuit, or at least it would make it more
[105]
difficult for him to file the lawsuit if he
were the lawyer having to draft the filing.
[112]
But he's not. You see all Donald Trump would've
had to have done is pick up the phone and call
[119]
his lawyer and say, I want to sue Hillary Clinton
for defamation for saying, blah, blah, blah. Get
[125]
on it. Goodbye. I'm president, click. That's how
that phone call would've gone. Then the lawyer
[132]
would've gone through and done all the lawyer
things. They would've put together the filing.
[136]
They would've done all that. They would've taken
it to Donald Trump, met with him for like an hour,
[140]
gone through it. He'd sign it. They'd be done. So
really Donald Trump only needed an hour and maybe
[147]
two minutes of his time to make this
happen, or at least get the balls rolling.
[153]
You know, he didn't have to spend
every day, all day doing this, right?
[159]
It was a phone call, maybe a couple meetings
just to at least get the filing going. You know,
[164]
I mean, they don't have to put together mountains
of evidence yet. They just needed to get the thing
[170]
filed and they could have done that. And let's not
pretend for a second that Donald Trump was super
[175]
busy the whole time he was president. He played
golf an average of every three and a half days.
[182]
Not to mention spending the majority
of every single day in his so-called
[186]
executive time where he would just sit there
watching Fox news and eating fast food.
[193]
You, you mean to tell me that he couldn't
pause Tucker Carlson that he had on the
[196]
TIVO there and talk to his lawyer for a
few minutes about suing Hillary Clinton?
[202]
Well, that's what his lawyers would have us
believe. But let's okay. You know what? Let's
[206]
give him the benefit of the doubt. Let's say that
Donald Trump was so busy during his presidency
[213]
that he couldn't file this lawsuit, right?
That golf kept him busy. The executive time,
[217]
super busy. COVID of course then happened. Okay.
Let's, let's assume all of that's not a lie.
[224]
He left office in January of 2021, January
20th, 2021 at noon Eastern. Okay. The
[233]
statute of limitations was October 29th, 2021.
So he had to February, to March, to April, to May,
[243]
to June, to July, to August, to
September, to October, he had nine
[250]
months and nine days to file the lawsuit
before the statute of limitations hit.
[259]
So even if we buy your argument that he was too
busy being president to file a lawsuit, there was
[267]
literally nothing stopping him for nine months and
nine days from getting it filed before the statute
[273]
of limitations hit. This judge should throw out
the lawsuit immediately. And for the record,
[279]
this is a lawsuit that I've said, I kind of
wanted Trump to win. Not because I hate Hillary,
[284]
but because this would absolutely reshape what
people say in political campaigns, knowing they
[289]
could be held liable for defamation if they lie
about their opponent. I think that's a good thing.
[295]
Political campaigns in this country are
disgusting. They're filled with lies and we
[299]
can't do anything about it. This would've changed
that. But still, with this new information, y'all
[305]
screwed the pooch there. And there's no amount
of filing saying, we were just gosh darn busy,
[311]
that's gonna change the fact that you had more
than enough time to put this thing together.
[317]
Hopefully the judge agrees with this
and puts this whole thing to rest.
