Trump wants to put Hillary in jail and conservatives love it!
Donald Trump is escalating his legal battle against Hillary Clinton by bringing a racketeering case to a federal appeals court. This significant move follows a ruling by a federal judge that grants Trump until September 27 to submit a detailed brief of up to 10,000 words outlining why the court should hear the case.
The lawsuit, originally filed in March 2022, accuses Clinton and several co-defendants—including the Democratic National Committee and former FBI Director James Comey—of attempting to undermine Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign. Trump alleges that these individuals engaged in a coordinated effort to rig the election against him, claiming damages exceeding $70 million. He contends that he incurred over $24 million in legal fees defending himself from unfounded accusations related to Russian collusion during the campaign.
Recently, Florida circuit appeal court judge Kevin Newsom approved an extension of the typical 6,500-word limit for Trump’s filing, acknowledging the complexities of the case and granting the additional time. Trump’s legal team had previously requested this extension due to “pressing hearings” in other matters, demonstrating the strategic nature of his legal maneuvers.
In a previous ruling, Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks had dismissed Trump’s claims, characterizing his lawsuit as a lengthy political manifesto rather than a legitimate legal argument. He criticized Trump’s approach as frivolous, stating that such claims waste valuable judicial resources. Despite this setback, Trump remains determined to pursue his case, believing that a conspiracy was orchestrated to thwart his presidency.
As Trump moves forward, the implications of this case resonate deeply with many Republican supporters who view it as part of a larger narrative of political persecution. This ongoing legal saga is not just about compensation; it represents a fight against what Trump and his followers perceive as systemic injustice and corruption within the political establishment.
