On Thursday Trump’s authorized staff revealed that they’ve filed a lawsuit in opposition to Hillary Clinton, and almost fifty different individuals who the swimsuit describes as “her cohorts,” in a conspiracy geared toward “destroying his life.” The listing of defendants is itself a comedic train in extremist overreaching and consists of Clinton, together with quite a few Democratic operatives and FBI officers. It is 108 pages of pure paranoid bullpucky that any respected lawyer – or fiction writer – could be embarrassed to be related to.

The submitting contained the compulsory inanities and misspellings which might be generally littered all through any Trump authorized doc. However most outstanding on this chronicle of conspiracy crackpottery are the innumerable lies and disinformation. It started with a flourish of fallacious fabrications soaked in completely implausible melodrama:
Within the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, Hillary Clinton and her cohorts orchestrated an unthinkable plot – one which shocks the conscience and is an affront to this nation’s democracy. Performing in live performance, the Defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J Trump, was colluding with a hostile international sovereignty. The actions taken in furtherance of their scheme—falsifying proof, deceiving regulation enforcement, and exploiting entry to highly-sensitive knowledge sources – are so outrageous, subversive and incendiary that even the occasions of Watergate pale compared. […]
“Defendants, blinded by political ambition, orchestrated a malicious conspiracy to disseminate patently false and injurious details about Donald J. Trump and his marketing campaign, all within the hopes of destroying his life, his political profession and rigging the 2016 Presidential Election in favor of Hillary Clinton.”
From there the submitting went on to throw in each deceitful and baseless allegation Trump has peddled for greater than six years. For example…
“Particular Counsel Mueller went on to exonerate Donald J. Trump and his marketing campaign together with his discovering that there was no proof of collusion with Russia.”
On the contrary, Robert Mueller explicitly acknowledged that Trump was not exonerated and he enumerated not less than ten cases of obstruction of justice.
And…
“The total extent of the Defendants’ wrongdoing has been steadily and steadily uncovered by Particular Counsel John Durham.”
Really, Durham by no means alleged the wrongdoing that Trump implies. To this point he has solely addressed some monitoring of publicly obtainable Web exercise. What’s extra, Durham’s reporting clearly states that the time period that such Web exercise was being monitored was throughout President Obama’s time period, not Trump’s.
Within the 108 pages of this submitting Trump referenced “Russia” 159 instances. His obsession with absolving himself of any alleged “collusion” is clear. However it is usually ludicrous. A bipartisan report from the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee discovered that…
“The Trump marketing campaign’s interactions with Russian intelligence companies throughout the 2016 presidential election posed a “grave” counterintelligence menace […] it detailed how associates of Donald Trump had common contact with Russians and anticipated to profit from the Kremlin’s assist.”
Trump’s lawsuit additionally makes false claims that the defendants had been “hacking servers at Trump Tower, Trump’s non-public condo, and, most alarmingly, the White Home.” Nevertheless, there isn’t a proof of that within the submitting or actuality. Though we do know that Trump requested Russia to hack Clinton’s emails, as a result of he made that request on nationwide tv. Trump additionally talked about Wikileaks within the lawsuit. Which is curious contemplating that the information Wikileaks made obtainable to the Trump marketing campaign was confirmed to have been supplied by Russian hackers.
Any credible individual analyzing this lawsuit can not assist however come away with the impression that it’s nothing greater than a deliberate distraction based mostly on demonstrable lies. If it had been made right into a cleaning soap opera, it might be laughably unwatchable. The writers could be suing to have their names faraway from the credit.
This lawsuit reeks of the form of ineptitude that’s the hallmark of Trump’s authorized staff. But when it proceeds, which is uncertain, it is going to supply among the greatest leisure deriving from the invention course of and Trump’s depositions. So this is hoping that Trump is silly sufficient to go ahead with it.
