QOTD -- Frivolous

 

"Not just initiated by a shotgun pleading, this was a shotgun lawsuit. Thirty-one individuals and organizations were summoned to court, forced to hire lawyers to defend against frivolous claims. The only common thread against them was Mr. Trump’s animus.

"Plaintiff deliberately misrepresented public documents by selectively using some portions while omitting other information including findings and conclusions that contradicted his narrative. This occurred with the Danchenko Indictment, the Department of Justice Inspector General’s Report for Operation Hurricane,and the Mueller Report. It was too frequent to be accidental. 

"Every claim was frivolous, most barred by settled, well-established existing law. These were political grievances masquerading as legal claims. This cannot be attributed to incompetent lawyering. It was a deliberate use of the judicial system to pursue a political agenda..." -- U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks, in his ruling on the Malignant Loser's against Hillary Clinton, et al, in which he sanctioned the Malignant Loser and his attorneys $1 million for filing a "frivolous lawsuit."  The suit alleged that Clinton and a host of others conspired to "rig" the 2016 election by promoting the Trump/Russia collusion story. 

BONUS:  Maybe the ruling had a salutary effect on the Malignant Loser and his crack(pot) legal advisors --
