TRUMP FILES BATSHIT LAWSUIT ACCUSING HILLARY CLINTON OF TRYING TO “DESTROY HIS LIFE”
He claims she and others engaged in a criminal conspiracy to take him down.

The opening paragraph is worth the price of admission.

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.

Trump does deserve to be locked up. No one with integrity would deny that. All legal arguments aside if you refuse to pay money owed you deserve to be locked up. If you lie to others to cheat others for financial gain you deserve to be locked up. If you live a life of dishonesty and deceit to the extent Donald Trump has you deserve to be locked up. If you continue to deceive the American public as Donald Trump continues to do you deserve to be locked up. If you continue to waste millions of minutes of honest peoples' time and millions of dollars of honest taxpayers' dollars in doing that, you deserve to be locked up. REPEAT: as it's a short one which everyone should keep in mind because it is based upon a total denial of reality and because it is a good indication of just how far Trump, and his incredible dishonest enablers, will go...

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. .. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=168373084

For all he has done. For all he is. For all he continues to be and for all he continues to do. Donald Trump deserves to be locked up. Deserves to be.
