DISCOVERY.

Lawyers are trained to say little and keep their cards close to the vest. I am not a lawyer, but I would respectfully encourage the NYT lawyers to do the opposite.

Rather than lying low and hoping that this blows over when Trump has another diaper fit about something else tomorrow night, I suggest they hold a news conference and say:

The New York TImes is in the business of what the founders called "the Fourth Estate", meaning that they view the free press as having an important role in our society to inform the people about things that those in government would prefer to keep secret. With this in mind, we welcome this threatened lawsuit because the first step of that process involves DISCOVERY. We intend to hold extensive depositions UNDER AOTH with Mr. Trump and many of his cabinet officials and we will require them to answer many questions such as:
* List a half dozen juicy questions
* etc
* etc

Then stand back and watch Trump break the sound barrier while backpedaling. This is how we take away Trump's favorite weapon.
