Trump is not attempting to reason with him. I believe what Patrick Byrne was saying the other day when he teased us with have evidence to bury a certain governor and SoS. Trump called this guy to make him sweat and gave him an opportunity to come clean. He obviously didn't so the hammer must drop

It was a litigation settlement conference, confidential by law.

Probably perceived as a trap as Ratburger had his lawyer there with him.

Wasn't it a mandatory arbitration call between the two sides of the lawsuit???

Or was it a warning. Any thing you say can be used against you I a court of (martial) law. remember it was recorded. Give them enough rope they'll hang themself.

We are now into 4 dimensional chess.
