For John, BLUF: Former Candidate Donald Trump is suing former Candidate Hillary Clinton, over Ms Clinton slinging mud during the 2016 campaaign. Nothing to see here; just move along.
Here is the sub-headline:
Trump also named the Democratic National Committee and former FBI Director James Comey, among other prominent figures.
From The Huffington Post, by Reporter Andre Ellington, 24 March 2022, 05:03 PM EDT.
Here is the lede plus one:
Former President Donald Trump is suing his 2016 Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton and others, accusing them of a “malicious conspiracy” and again claiming they rigged the 2016 election against him.This is The Huff Post, so I expected a lot of nay-saying. And I got it.The lawsuit repeats a common Trump claim that Clinton and other Democratic politicians conspired to create a “false narrative” that he received help from Russian allies to win the 2016 election. It comes over five years after Trump defeated Clinton in that election.
Fraankly, I don't expect Former President Donld Trump to win this lawsuit. What I hope for is a "Disclosure" Phase in the trial that brings more information to the front, for us mere voters to look at. Much of this has been previously broomed by the media, such as The Huff Post.
We are talking lawyers here, so they may drag it out past the next Presidential Election, in 2024.
