The Trump Organization’s chief legal officer, Alan Garten, explained to Forbes a month ago that 40 Wall Street has 63 floors of commercial space, but “when you add the space from 63 to the cupola, the building totals 72 floors.”
I’d be interested in seeing what that space actually is. Are they going to start arguing over the definition of a floor? Is this going to turn into Bill Clinton’s famous “define is” situation?
Well, Clinton’s situation was actually pretty smart lawyering on his part. So I’m guessing if Trump’s team is successful it would be more like a Johnny Cochran prepping OJ situation.
Right, Bill and Hillary are both lawyers in their own right. That particular incident may have sounded bad to the public, but Bill knew he was in court. Something of the opposite of Trump, who keeps playing to his public base even when he’s in court.
