Despite facing an avalanche of indictments in four different jurisdictions, Donald Trump and his lawyer Alina Habba have decided to devote time to attempting to refile a lawsuit that was already dismissed and led to the two of them being sanctioned $937,989 for wasting the court’s time.
As the Beast report notes, the original case was tossed out in January by U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks who wrote a scathing order that included the fine.
At that time, he wrote, “This case should never have been brought. Its inadequacy as a legal claim was evident from the start. No reasonable lawyer would have filed it.”
As Pagliery explained, “Middlebrooks was describing the way that Trump sued everyone he has publicly blamed for fueling pernicious conspiracies that he’s a Kremlin agent: Clinton, her 2016 campaign chair, Democratic lawyers, and FBI officials who launched the infamous Crossfire Hurricane investigation looking into Trump-Russia connections.”
“While Habba claims that ‘the Durham Report provides new context’ to the lawsuit, she’s also running that risk that Middlebrooks will use this as an opportunity to closely scrutinize the Durham Report—and drill down on just how not new it actually is.”
“And this judge, an appointee of Hillary Clinton’s husband and former president, Bill, has already shown zero patience for Trump’s deliberate misreading of official government findings,” the Beast’s Pagliery added.
