   Hartung and AlleyPussyBitch kept insisting that all those frivolous Trump   
   lawsuits that kept getting tossed, one after the other, weren't really "Trump   
   lawsuits" because Trump wasn't the plaintiff.  Trump *was* the actual   
   plaintiff.   
     The named plaintiffs were all shams.  The shams might not have been duped as   
   Smith's "clients" were, and in fact I think all of them probably were quite   
   willing to attach their names to the suits, but it is a fact that all the suits   
   — you know, all those suits that kept getting flushed down the judicial   
   shitter   
   — were filed on Trump's behalf.
