Last week, former President Donald Trump stunned D.C. when he filed a $24 million lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and the entire Democratic National Committee [1]. According to the lawsuit, “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. 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 sovereignty.”
Confused as to why Trump would want to focus on the 2016 election, which he won, Kash Patel admitted that the lawsuit was much more than making a statement but a masterful technique to corner the entire Democratic leadership.
Discussing the move on the Charlie Kirk Show, the former chief of staff to the Acting United States Secretary of Defense under the Trump administration said the former President was taking advantage of the RICO filing. “The whole point is to get to discovery… I think what the President wanted to focus on was finally say, ‘I’m not going after onesies & twosies here, I’m bringing everybody in, one federal lawsuit, everybody’s gotta go to the table as a defendant.'”
Reading deeper into the 108-page filing, it noted how Clinton, with the help from the Democrats, swayed the “public’s trust” around him. “They worked together with a single, self-serving purpose: to vilify Donald J. Trump. Indeed, their far-reaching conspiracy was designed to cripple Trump’s bid for the presidency by fabricating a scandal that would be used to trigger an unfounded federal investigation and ignite a media frenzy.”
Users online made their own assumptions around the lawsuit, with one writing, “The unfortunate thing is, regardless of the outcome of this or other lawsuits, the damage has been done. Not only to Trump, personally and professionally, but to our entire system. Everything points to various government agencies becoming involved in partisan politics. Plus, while these claims didn’t prevent Trump’s election in 16, they certainly haunted his presidency, and no doubt was a factor in his loss in 20. We can speculate forever as to how a Trump victory in 20 would have impacted what’s going on in our country today and the present situation with Russia and Ukraine. However, one point that even the strident anti-Trumpers can’t deny, Putin did NOT invade Ukraine while Trump was president.”
Another person claimed, “Trump said at his rally last night they got a judge in the case that had been appointed by Clinton. That judge should recuse himself. Once again, justice could be biased. I sure hope this goes well. America really needs our justice system to work as it was intended.”
