Hillary Clinton urges judge to THROW OUT Trump's lawsuit claiming she 'colluded' to 'cripple' his 2016 Presidential campaign because it is has 'no merit' and is 'being used as a fundraising tool'

Hillary Clinton on Wednesday is asking that a legal challenge filed against her by Donald Trump be dismissed on the grounds that it has 'no merit.'

The former first lady's court filing compared Trump's lawsuit to a 'fundraising tool, a press release or a list of political grievances' but said it has no place 'as a lawsuit, and should be dismissed with prejudice.'

The ex-president sued his 2016 Democratic opponent and dozens of others in March for an 'unthinkable plot' to 'weave a false narrative' that he was colluding with a hostile foreign power during that election cycle to 'cripple Trump's bid for presidency.'

Clinton 'vigorously denies' Trump's accusations, but even if they were true, argued that he 'fails to plead any cognizable legal causes of action,' the filing obtained by Axios states.

Her attorneys also claimed that some of the Republican's accusations -- including conspiring with the FBI and Christopher Steele on the British ex-spy's infamous dossier -- would run out of the statute of limitations even if Trump had a case.

They cite proof his allegations were made 'no later than October 29, 2017, when [Trump] publicly asserted that Clinton was responsible for the Steele Dossier, “the Comey fix,” and “phony” stories on his collusion with Russia, and claimed the facts of the alleged conspiracy were “pouring out”.'

'But notwithstanding his rousing, all-caps call to action, Plaintiff waited four years, four months, and twenty-four days before filing suit. His delay renders each of his claims untimely,' they state.

Clinton's lawyers compared Trump's March lawsuit to 'a press release or a list of political grievances'.

Both Hillary and Biden had rigged elections, yet Hillary lost. What was the difference? Germ Warfare.

Her problem now is...if a conviction comes up that the campaign created fake evidence on Trump (meaning they paid for it)...then Trump has a seat at the court later for a lawsuit...into the hundred-million-plus range, for damages.

I doubt that Bill will be around to see this unfold, but he’d probably tell Hillary that her stupid behavior for forty years...is what caused her to lose what little wealth they generated.

No merit? OK fine, prove it in court.

That’s what any sane, fair judge would say.

I’d love to say you’re incorrect. But I’m not certain that you are.

After the daily fear push of COVID-19, I didn’t think anything could top that media-hyped mass hysteria.

Sure makes me wonder what September / October will bring.

I understand that every time a NEW piece of information emerges, it re=sets the date by extending the expiration.

If I am wrong, I apologize.

You never heard of the Clinton Foundation — took in hundreds of millions of dollars.

And this coming from a woman of whom it was said in 2008 by Jerry Zeifman, a life-long Democrat and chief counsel of the House Judiciary Committee during the Watergate inquiry (and confirmed by WaPo in 2016): “She was a liar. She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

Hey,you're in NJ and I'm in Taxachusetts.Assuming she's buried in Chappaqua it wouldn't be that long a drive for either of us. But then given that she once tried to join the Marines some Rat Party hack might allow her to be buried at Arlington...just like the Senior Senator from Chappaquiddick.
