Former Clown Sues Hillary Clinton and Others Over His Persecution Fantasies (Full Document)

Politics • Views: 18,027

Yes, today the Trump-thing filed a RICO lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and a whole lot of others in yet another clown car of a lawsuit.

You don’t even get to the first paragraph before you see the first misspelling.

HILLARY R. CLINTON, HFACC, INC.,
DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL COMMITTEE,
DNC SERVICES CORPORATION, PERKINS
COIE, LLC, MICHAEL SUSSMANN, MARC
ELIAS, DEBBIE WASSERMAN SCHULTZ,
CHARLES HALLIDAY DOLAN, JR., JAKE
SULLIVAN, JOHN PODESTA, ROBERT E.
MOOK, PHILLIPE REINES, FUSION GPS,
GLENN SIMPSON, PETER FRITSCH,
NELLIE OHR, BRUCE OHR, ORBIS
BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE, LTD.,
CHRISTOPHER STEELE, IGOR DANCHENKO,
NEUSTAR, INC., RODNEY JOFFE, JAMES
COMEY, PETER STRZOK, LISA PAGE,
KEVIN CLINESMITH, ANDREW MCCABE,
JOHN DOES 1 THROUGH 10 (said names
being fictious and unknown persons),

Here’s the document; it’s hilariously overblown and plain stupid, like all the lawsuits this vicious moron files. Oh, the projection!

In the run-up to the 2016 Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton and her cohorts orchestrated an unthinkable plot – one that shocks the conscience and is an affront to this nation’s democracy. Acting in concert, the Defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty. The actions taken in furtherance of their scheme—falsifying evidence, deceiving law enforcement, and exploiting access to highly-sensitive data sources - are so outrageous, subversive and incendiary that even the events of Watergate pale in comparison.

As I posted on the dead thread, Habba is on Trump’s legal team not because of her actual skill, but because of a set of skills. A matched pair.

She doesn’t have any experience in white collar crime, criminal law, or any of the claims being proffered here. It shows.

She’s a commercial real estate lawyer who has delusions of being rich and famous for being Trump’s lawyer. Trump picked her because of her look. Skills are irrelevant, and it shows.

This is a clown show of a lawsuit, and frivolous for good measure. I’m hoping that the court not only throws this crapulence out, but sanctions the lawyers here and refers them for disbarment (too much to ask for).

completely off topic to anything, but I just discovered Hoopla has some kind of Great Courses binge pass that is good for 7 days. I’m not sure if this translates into Wondrium, which is what Great Courses turned into, but if your public library has access to Hoopla, it’s at least a way to apparently (‘cause I haven’t tried it) get access to all their stuff for 7 days at a time. I know it’s a little nerdy, but I actually enjoy listening to lectures delivered by subject experts, especially now that all that stuff comes with visuals, unlike the old days when they were CD lectures.

I am also a big fan of The Teaching Company/Great Courses. Like you, I like listening to folks who are experts in their fields rather than me having to wade through all the bs to find useful information.

Sometimes the insights can be startling.

They have a course on Eastern European history. The lecturer pointed out that World War 1 (WW1) was not really about, England, France and the US. Which is why a lot of our popular literature makes WW1 seem so pointless.

WW1 was about the ability of 4 monarchies to survive into the 20th Century. (German, Austro-Hungarian, Russian, and Ottoman) And all 4 failed that test.

In some respects, over a century later, we are still dealing with the fallout from WW1.

One difference is that I prefer the audio to the video because I can listen to them while doing mindless stuff. For example raking up the lawn while listening to lectures on Machiavelli.

I also find the Dan Carlin History podcasts interesting. Although I am not impressed with his breathless delivery style .

If it gets that far. Most likely, this will die to a FRCP 12(b)(6) Motion to Dismiss. And that belies the ultimate reason for this lawsuit: Grift. This lawsuit is performative nonsense, put on for no other reason than to raise money - ostensibly for “legal purposes”, but it will be redirected to Trump’s private coffers when the lawsuit is SLAPPed aside.

Yes. There will be discovery. And all those named defendants would be able to demand evidence from Trumpworld, which would prove that they aren’t involved in some conspiracy here. They could also point to the Mueller Report, the Senate GOP report, and contemporaneous news reports.

This is such a poorly written filing that the lawyers should face sanctions at the end of this process.

In fact, they’ve essentially opened the door for the defense lawyers for all of those named to pick through Trumpworld for evidence showing the connections exist, or that there is no conspiracy among those who identified Trump as a Putin potted plant/coconspirator/fellow traveler/useful idiot.

36
lawhawk  Mar 24, 2022 • 12:25:53pm

re: #35 lawhawk

And I should say that the lawyers for any/all of the above will file to dismiss for failure to state a cause of action (12)(b)(6). They’d also likely make motions to sanction those involved for good measure. Repeating facts doesn’t make it a conspiracy to claim that Trump was a Russian potted plant.

Yes, we are still living with the fallout from WWI; for instance, Lenin ended up in Russia in 1917 because the Germans sent him there, with the longshot hope that if he didn’t end up dead in a couple of weeks, then maybe he’d stir up enough shit to break Russia’s war resolve and get them out of the conflict.

And indeed Lenin succeeded, beyond even the wildest dreams of the Germans who sent him there. And from Lenin, we proceed through to the fall of the USSR, then the brief interregnum of Yeltsin, and then on to Putin - who seeks to bring Russia back to the heyday of its imperial glory.

How Republicans Spent Decades Cozying Up to Putin’s Kremlin
March 18, 2022

*snip*
But if you think this is hard-line Cold War tough talk from the Reagan-era GOP of yore, think again. It’s not just Donald Trump who’s in Vladimir Putin’s pocket. For more than 25 years, a large swath of the GOP has enjoyed mutually rewarding relationships with Russian operatives funding and working with K Street lobbyists, political consultants, super PACs, campaign fundraising operations, disinformation and propaganda campaigns, social media operations, cyber-warfare efforts, money laundering schemes, think tanks harboring Russian intelligence operatives, and much, much more.

*snip*

But Buckham’s and DeLay’s Russian intrigues paled next to those of Paul Manafort, the Roy Cohn-trained fixer and political consultant who represented the interests of corrupt despots the world over—the Philippines’ Ferdinand Marcos, Iraq’s Saddam Hussein, Romania’s Nicolai Ceausescu, Zaire’s Mobutu Sese Seko—and Vladimir Putin. Manafort’s ties with Russia go back to 2004, when he began his journey into the shadowy world of flight capital, offshore companies, and Russian intelligence. In all, over $75 million in Russian funds flowed through Manafort’s operations into his offshore accounts. According to a Senate Intelligence Committee Report, Manafort appointed his constant companion, a Russian intelligence officer named Konstantin Kilimnik, as head of his Ukraine operations with full “power of attorney” to interact with pro-Putin oligarchs who were funding Manafort.

*snip*

Of course, Manafort was not alone among Republican lobbyists in carrying water for Putin. According to Open Secrets, quite apart from Manafort, Russian interests have spent about $182 million on lobbying, influence operations, and propaganda in the last six years.

*snip*

But that doesn’t mean it’s all over between Russia and the GOP. When Lindsey Graham calls for the head of Vladimir Putin, me thinks he doth protest too much. The relationship will continue. “Russia has been in the influence business a very long time, and it’s a core part of its military doctrine, especially during what others think of as peacetime,” says Winer. “Russian security state influence networks are pervasive and persistent, and they are not going to suddenly disappear just because Putin has now made himself the world’s most hated person. Instead, they are likely to just go deeper underground.

Precisely. Which is why every attorney on every Trump lawsuit like this needs to be immediately disbarred. For life.

As for Trump, a $1 million penalty for filing frivolous lawsuits should be assessed, made retroactive to his entire adult life, and with a provision for doubling the fine with each successive frivolous lawsuit.

The fact that obviously sensible steps like this aren’t taken against a serially vexatious litigant like Trump is one of the many things that makes a mockery of the US justice system.

I said, “you know, like on TV, when medications are being advertised and they have a bazillion side effects, up to and including death?” “No, no of course not.” And the documentation has side effects (constipation, dry mouth, upset stomach, gas and nausea) but “many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.” I’d say my most serious side effect is that the pill is not coated and feels like I’m trying to swallow a wad of paper. Before the endo, a nurse told me I could dissolve it in a small amount of water and drink that. It tastes lousy so I’m trying to get better at taking it whole.

Make it crystal clear what miserable people they vote for in a SCOTUS judge

on the merits, there is literally no way you can say the last two were 100% qualified and somehow jackson isnt

there is no way you can have actual reservations about jackson and not the last two.
(yes i know that they’ll always vote R, that’s why. and that’s not the point)

the senate’s job is to advise and consent and weed out if the president chose someone unqualified.
not to deny ones who simply arent to your liking (skin color) or your politics (wont vote how you want)

That pill has always been a pain. It was prescribed for my MIL in her very old age, and it had to be dissolved and put into a Thickit (sp) bunch of glop to get it down her, and it was a fight every time. I was glad when the doctors gave up on that one.

From the article:

Pharmacists are usually much better at understanding/knowing the side effects of medications. Doctors usually don’t know much more than what illness the drug may treat.

Quick comment on the concept of having a single named general in charge of the entire invasion of Ukraine.

Russia has historically run its wars from a centralized committee called ‘Stavka’. This was the case in both World War 1 and 2.

Aslund has some interesting and knowledgeable tweets. However, he also has a very strong view on things in a time when I think flexibility might be a better approach.

One question he has been raising is on whether the heads of the Russian army are disappeared or not.

Btw, my favorite side comment of his is “it is difficult to follow Russian media now because hackers have taken down so many central Russian government & news websites.”

Couldn’t the same thing have been said about the Kavanaugh vote and yet…

But she was up for re-election so she needed the support of GOP voters. She doesn’t face voters again for four years.

I still think it comes down to whether or not McConnell asks for her vote. If he doesn’t, she will likely vote in favor to polish her “bipartisanship” halo for the professionally credulous dolts that still believe in that crap.

But if the GOP decides to send a message, she will be all in on that.

We’ve pondered before if Putin will go NBC.

Seems to me that would be a big step for some of his underlings to take.

I wonder how split the Russian military may become.

She did vote against Amy Coney Barrett. I think she may do the right thing here.

re: #137 Charles Johnson

WaPo link bypasses the paywall:

Virginia Thomas urged White House chief to pursue unrelenting efforts to overturn the 2020 election, texts show

Batshit insane.

When Meadows wrote to Thomas on Nov. 24, the White House chief of staff invoked God to describe the effort to overturn the election. “This is a fight of good versus evil,” Meadows wrote. “Evil always looks like the victor until the King of Kings triumphs.

ah, well, in light of turtleman’s court packing comment, imma gonna guess Portman will be a no:

Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson, U.S. Sen. Rob Portman says he hasn’t yet decided whether he’ll vote to approve her ascent to the nation’s highest court. If Jackson is confirmed, she’d be the court’s first African American female justice.

Portman, who last year voted against confirming her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit., says he’s continuing to look into her record and is following her confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

In an interview with Ohio reporters, the Ohio Republican said he’ll listen to Jackson’s answers to questions at this week’s committee hearings before he decides on a vote. He says he prefers judges who aren’t judicial activists and says he wants to learn her views on court packing and whether the number of justices on the Supreme Court should expand from the current nine.

re: #77 mmmirele

The gastroenterologist gave a quizzical look when I asked him if Carafate/sucralfate (prescribed for treating stomach/intestinal lesions/ulcers) for had any nasty side effects. I said, “you know, like on TV, when medications are being advertised and they have a bazillion side effects, up to and including death?” “No, no of course not.” And the documentation has side effects (constipation, dry mouth, upset stomach, gas and nausea) but “many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.” I’d say my most serious side effect is that the pill is not coated and feels like I’m trying to swallow a wad of paper. Before the endo, a nurse told me I could dissolve it in a small amount of water and drink that. It tastes lousy so I’m trying to get better at taking it whole.

Pro tip: if you can take it with food, take a bite of something, chew it up real good and right before your swallow, pop the pill in your mouth. I’ve taken monster sized pills that way.

National Review and some other outlets are pushing this story.
But this is a statement Breyer made on Wednesday. Breyer spoke to Thomas on Sunday.
So it’s all smoke and mirrors still.

I don’t go to them now, and maybe once in the last 25 years.

Their food is awful. I ate at one (take out) on one of my trips and threw it out. The only time during my extensive travel over a dozen years that I threw out my dinner.

And now even if they had a new menu that people raved about, I wouldn’t step foot in one. You don’t treat people like that. I hope they go under.

I don’t pay anything. I have a friend who follows Quora (which I don’t). But I “joined” with my gmail address, so I can see what she sends. Usually pretty fascinating stuff. Just no time to sort through things. I follow different sites and send her links. It works out.

If you’ve got Safari, pen a new Private Window and copy the entire URL into that window from the paywall page and BANG, you are in.
