A counter-claim here would be a last resort. The objective should be to extract BBC from litigation, not tie it in more messily and expensively.

A counterclaim would give Trump all the rights of a defendant as well as a plaintiff.

Would be a nightmare, given his litigation game playing.

A friend of mine job hunting this year eventually concluded that the only way to get a job in her sector now is to get friends/contacts to vouch for you specifically. Any open advertised job is basically so overwhelmed by assisted applicants it's impossible to stand out
