Judge Threatens Trump Lawyers With Possible Sanctions Over Clinton Lawsuit

In dismissing former President Donald Trump's lawsuit against his 2016 presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, a Florida judge said on Friday that Trump's lawyers could face consequences for the claims and legal contentions they made in the suit.

On Friday, Florida District Court Judge Donald Middlebrooks dismissed Trump's lawsuit against Clinton, which was filed in March alleging that Clinton accused him of colluding with Russia prior to the 2016 presidential election.

The ruling dismissing the suit said that Trump's complaint "is neither short nor plain, and it certainly does not establish that [Trump] is entitled to any relief."

"The amended complaint alleges that the defendants 'engaged in a calculated scheme to defraud the news media, law enforcement, and counterintelligence officials for the purpose of proliferating a false narrative of collusion between Trump and Russia,'" Middlebrooks said in the ruling.

I would hope that if the complaint and the amendment to the complaint are as bad as the judge says they are (to the point that lawyers could be sanctioned) that the Orange Criminal has to cough up some money for this crap.
