Update: Judge Skewers in Hillary Clinton racketeering suit requests Trump to withdraw
"...Trump's Lawsuit Against Clinton, DNC Slammed by Legal Experts: 'Garbage'"

Like other presidents before and after him, Bill Clinton appointed several judges to the federal courts during his White House tenure. One of them was Donald Middlebrook, who has been on the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida for more than two decades.
The judge said Wednesday that the fact is not enough reason for Middlebrook to recuse himself from hearing Trump’s trial against his 2016 presidential nemesis, Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Middlebrook denied a motion filed by Trump on Monday in which he claimed that his role as a judge in the case “amounts to prejudice so blatant or widespread as to constitute prejudice against a party.”
The judge also noted Trump’s apparent attempt to file a civil suit in a court whose judge was one of his appointments: “I note that the plaintiff filed this suit in the Fort Pierce Division of this district, where Only one federal judge sits: Judge Eileen Cannon, whom the plaintiff appointed in 2020. Despite the odds, this case struck me. And when the plaintiff is a plaintiff before a judge she appointed herself, she does not escalate concerns of any kind of bias.”

Trump filed suit against Hillary Clinton last month, alleging she was involved in a plan to rig the 2016 presidential election, which Trump won. Clinton was guilty of “racketeering,” the suit claimed, as part of a conspiracy that made Watergate “pale in comparison.”
“The defendants, blinded by political ambition, hatched a malicious conspiracy to disseminate apparently false and harmful information about Donald J. Trump and his campaign, all to destroy his life, his political career, and the 2016 presidential election.” Hoping to rig the favor of Hillary Clinton,” Trump said in the lawsuit.
Middlebrook said the presence of impartiality was important to the judiciary, but cited “well-established” legislation in the five-page brief as all the reasons he did not fit the bill of disqualification. Federal law stipulates that judges must disqualify themselves “in any proceeding in which their impartiality may reasonably be questioned.”
“I have never met or spoken to Bill or Hillary Clinton,” Middlebrook wrote in her response. “Except for my appointment by Bill Clinton, I no longer have and have ever had any relationship with Clinton.”

Furthermore, the previous cases Trump mentioned to support his motion “do not appear to support his arguments,” the judge said.
[Insert: LOL No surprise.]
“When I became a federal judge, I took an oath to ‘honestly and fairly discharge and perform all duties . . . under the Constitution and laws of the United States of America.’ I have done this for the last twenty five years, and this case will be no different,” he wrote.
Although the judiciary is focused on the idea of ??fairness, Trump preferred to suggest that the president who nominated a judge had a special influence on that judge’s decisions. He rebuked Chief Justice John Roberts in 2018 for complaining about an “Obama judge” who ruled against his administration.
“We don’t have an Obama judge or a Trump judge, a Bush judge or a Clinton judge,” Roberts said at the time. “We have an extraordinary group of dedicated judges who are doing their level best to ensure equal rights to those appearing before them.”
