Trump sues Hillary Clinton, DNC over 'unthinkable' Russia 'plot' in 2016 election
[NYPOST] Former President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
on Thursday filed a $24 million federal lawsuit alleging that Crooked Hillary Clinton
...former first lady, former secretary of state, former presidential candidate, Conqueror of Benghazi, Heroine of Tuzla, formerly described by her supporters as the smartest woman in the world, usually described by the rest of us as The Thing That Wouldn't Go Away. Politix is not one of her talents, but it's something she keeps trying to do...
and the Democratic National Committee launched a wide-ranging "unthinkable plot" in 2016 to smear him and his campaign as colluding with Russian officials.In the suit, filed in the Southern District of Florida, Trump claims the goal was to fabricate a scandal in an effort to "cripple" his bid for the presidency.

"In the run up to the 2016 Presidential Election, Hillary Clinton and her cohorts orchestrated an unthinkable plot — one that shocks the conscience and is an affront to this nation’s democracy," he says in the 108-page complaint.

"Acting in concert, the Defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign illusory sovereignty."

The 45th president alleges that the scheme concocted by Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, and others falsified evidence, deceived law enforcement and exploited "access to highly-sensitive data sources" — and was "so outrageous, subversive and incendiary that even the events of Watergate pale in comparison."

#1 as wide ranging as this is and the variety of allegations, this law suit may drag on for a decade

perhaps the Trump people are counting on discovery to kick start settlements but in this case discovery itself will be a multiyear process

#2 The judge that doesn't throw this out will commit suicide with two shots to the temple.

#4 $24 mil seems way too low but maybe the goal is discovery, vindication, and satisfaction not money. Nick Sandmann was awarded $275 mil. My thoughts wander to public canings, floggings and hangings but alas that is fantasy and wishful thinking.

#5 this law suit may drag on for a decade

I think the point is not a settlement, but to keep this issue in the news for a long time. No way can the media ignore anything the least bit Trumpy.

#6 He filed it as a RICO event. He is setting up for the next election. Hid, Democrats are corrupt" will be full blown in the courts. If he can win against the dems as RICO, they will all go away. The Dems will have a hard choice, admit it and pay, or have discovery leak out on a weekly basis. ither way he has them in a checkmate event. That is if the Jusge does not throw it out.

#8 With the likes of Comey, his daughter, Chrissy Wray, Clapper, Liddy Graham, Toothless Trey, Cocaine Mitch, Brennen and so on not interned at Gitmo. Nothing will happen.
