Donald Trump has a number of notable obsessions—raging against toilets, hiring people and then claiming they’re incompetent, and so on and so forth— but his top three would undoubtedly have to be constantly lying about everything all the time, filing meritless lawsuits, and Hillary Rodham Clinton. On Thursday, those three converged in a fully unhinged lawsuit in which the former president accused his one-time opponent of spending the last seven years trying to “destroy his life.” Yes, the allegation most typically lobbed by hormonal teenagers against their parents while shrieking in high pitches and slamming doors.
In a 108-page filing, Trump claimed that Clinton, along with the Democratic National Committee, former FBI director James Comey, White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan, and more than a dozen other people “orchestrated an unthinkable plot” to undermine his campaign and subsequently his administration, by “weav[ing] a false narrative” that Trump “was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty,” i.e. Russia. While the allegations are both vast and likely baseless, the basic idea is that Clinton and company tried to take down Trump the candidate and then Trump the president through illegal espionage and other subterfuge. The complaint argues that the alleged conspiracy falls under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, i.e. the law that was originally passed to prosecute the Mafia.
“The Defendants, blinded by political ambition, orchestrated a malicious conspiracy to disseminate patently false and injurious information about Donald J. Trump and his campaign, all in the hopes of destroying his life, his political career and rigging the 2016 Presidential Election in favor of Hillary Clinton,” the filing reads. “When their gambit failed, and Donald J. Trump was elected, the Defendants’ efforts continued unabated, merely shifting their focus to undermining his presidential administration. Worse still, the Defendants continue to spread their vicious lies to this day as they unabashedly publicize their thoroughly debunked falsehoods in an effort to ensure that he will never be elected again.” In sad news for the “lock her up” crowd, this is a civil suit, so even if his claims had any basis in reality, they wouldn’t result in Clinton or anyone else doing jail time. Though rest assured the former president is trying to squeeze some money out of his alleged pain and suffering, and has demanded more than $72 million in damages.
It’s important to remember, as The Washington Post notes .. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/24/trump-sues-hillary-clinton-others-over-2016-election-he-won/ , that Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s two-year investigation into the Trump campaign’s alleged Russia ties did not actually “exonerate” Trump, as the former president likes to say, but rather made “no determination on ‘collusion’” and did not produce enough evidence to charge anyone in the Trump campaign with “criminal conspiracy.” In other words, it’s possible members of the campaign did collude with Russia. The Mueller report also made clear .. https://www.factcheck.org/2019/04/what-the-mueller-report-says-about-russian-contacts/ .. that “the investigation established multiple links between Trump Campaign officials and individuals tied to the Russian government,” that “those links included Russia offers of assistance to the Campaign,” and that “in some instances, the Campaign was receptive to the offer.” Spokespeople for Clinton and the DNC did not respond to the Post’s requests for comment.
It’s also important to remember that Trump has spent many years spreading lies about Hillary Clinton. Last month, Trump claimed that his special counsel John Durham, who was appointed by then Attorney General Bill Barr in 2020, had uncovered “indisputable evidence that my campaign and presidency were spied on by operatives paid by the Hillary Clinton Campaign in an effort to develop a completely fabricated connection to Russia,” which he dubbed a “scandal far greater in scope and magnitude than Watergate.” The problem with that claim, like so many Trump has made over the years, was that it was entirely detached from reality, and neither John Durham nor anyone else had actually provided evidence of any such crime, let alone even suggested it.

"...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.”
