Judge dismisses Trump’s Russia collusion lawsuit against Hillary Clinton with stinging rebuke The judge slammed the "audacity of plaintiff's legal theories and the manner in which they clearly contravene binding case law."
A federal judge in Florida has dismissed former President Donald Trump’s lawsuit alleging Hillary Clinton, the FBI and others colluded to contrive Russia allegations against him during the 2016 campaign, offering a stinging rebuke to the lawsuit’s length and legal reasoning.
"Plaintiff's Amended Complaint is neither short nor plain, and it certainly does not establish that Plaintiff is entitled to any relief," wrote U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks, appointed to the court by former President Bill Clinton.
See Court Ruling Here:
"More troubling, the claims presented in the Amended Complaint are not warranted under existing law," he also said in his 65-page ruling Thursday. "In fact, they are foreclosed by existing precedent, including decisions of the Supreme Court."
Middlebrooks was the judge who ruled against George W. Bush in the Florida elections dispute in 2000, and was overruled by the US Supreme Court
The judge slammed the "audacity of Plaintiff's legal theories and the manner in which they clearly contravene binding case law" and said he was dismissing the case against the private defendants, including Hillary Clinton and dossier-offer Christopher Steele firm, with prejudice, meaning the tort cannot be refiled.
Middlebrooks also indicated he might consider a request for sanctions against Trump’s lawyers for filing a suit.
"I reserve jurisdiction to adjudicate issues pertaining to sanctions," he wrote.
The judge also agreed with the arguments made by Clinton and the other defendants that Trump's claims were past the statute of limitations and that they have "no merit as a lawsuit."
"What the Amended Complaint lacks in substance and legal support it seeks to substitute with length, hyperbole, and the settling of scores and grievances," the judge said of the 193-page complaint.
Middlebrooks concluded his decision by stating, "At its core, the problem with Plaintiff's Amended Complaint is that Plaintiff is not attempting to seek redress for any legal harm; instead, he is seeking to flaunt a two-hundred-page political manifesto outlining his grievances against those that have opposed him, and this Court is not the appropriate forum."
Judge is a Clinton appointee. Shocking.

Good. Now Trump can appeal to a higher court.
Oops! Filed the case in wrong court. Did you do your homework????
Hi.
Like I said, Middlebrooks doesn’t want to commit suicide.

I wonder if the “judge” is one of Jeffrey Epstein’s boyz. Somebody should look into that.
They’ve had about 30 years since Clinton to insert compromised corrupt judges into the judiciary.
A Clinton judge should not be permitted to rule in this case. I do not accept the judgement. (I know that doesn’t matter, but I don’t accept it.)
Same old news, same old blues again. The fix is always in. I’ll give you odds the special master monitoring the FIB’s Mar-a-Lago misdeeds somehow, miraculously turns out to be a uniparty swamp hack. It happens every time. Every IC, every IG, every review board, every US Attorney. Always.
“Case law” may apply to common law development and may even include constitutional law if rightly interpreted.
“Case precedent” and “mandatory” or “persuasive” authority should be the norm when cases are rightly decided. The same is true with cases when the Constitutional is involved and rightly interpreted and applied.
Unconstitutional Court decisions should be immediately ignored and nullified and not considered authoritative at all. Same with unconstitutional federal laws. As Blackstone said about unjust laws, they are “no law.”
Of course the Left loves to call it “case law” when it is unconstitutional because the Left hates the Constitution. But it doesn’t matter what the Lying Left calls it. The Constitution itself nullifies unconstitutional decisions and laws in Article VI, Section 2, announcing that the Constitution itself and ONLY those federal acts PURSUANT to the Constitution are the Supreme Law of the Land.
“wrote U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks, appointed to the court by former President Bill Clinton.”
Can we all say together: worthless system of justice?
I knew we could.
“Case law” as the Left uses it, has come to mean using ‘unjust decisions’ to justify more unjust decisions................
Yes, but they could do the same by calling the previous decisions "case precedent".
Instead they use the term "case law" to make it more like it's written in stone and can't be overturned.
