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.

With murder, that's generally true but for fraud? In what jurisdiction is that true? Please, be specific.
She was the biggest money raiser. They were assured the women's vote...which was how Bubba won....and she was assured the Black vote...which is how Bubba won.
But she forgot that women were cats and might just not like her and totally forgot about the white man...and that's how she lost.
And I believe she filed amended returns for 5 years...I think this was her personal filing....forgot.
Satans prom date.
In a sane world she’d have been legally executed.
Put her in a straight jacket and lock her up. Really, she ran a coup against a president and should be hanged.
She did indeed...And both of Trump’s impeachments should be reversed. They were based on false information.
Yep. Not sure what it is but will be something.
In a just world, Hellary would have been tried, convicted, and sentenced. And today her carcass would be slowly rotting off of the noose.
Belly up to the bar, like a Man, Hillary.
What you say is partially true....the Clinton Foundation took in hundreds of millions. They also spent hundreds of millions.
Remember the trouble at the beginning of the Obama period, when Sec of State Clinton wanted to hire Blumenthal as her ‘helper’ and the Obama team said ‘no’ to a gov’t job, and then later ‘no’ to a contractor gov’t job. So what few realized....she desperately needed his skills, so they hired Blumenthal through the Foundation. By the time you figured salary, health insurance, social security taxes, etc...he was probably in the $350k a year range.
There were all kinds of expenditures like that. If you asked them where they stood at the end of 2016? I bet they had less than $10-million left in the fund.
I don’t want to ask what crazy thing will happen next.
For sure.
The world keeps choosing and embracing bizarre things.
Good thing I’m not on some sort of nut-job conspiracy ping list!
😜😜😜 🐑🐑🐑🐑🐑
Keep an eye on the man and the dog. I think they’re definitely working together!

Desperation of a cornered rat. Durham has uncovered, and verified enough evidence to nail her. She’s feeling cornered and desperate.
Soon, the attorney/client privilege case will be lost, and things will get interesting. Pleading the 5th will fail.
“Nice robe you have there Judge. Be a shame if something happened to it.”
Well then trump should have investigated her but he didn’t.
>> ‘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,’
Yep, the old “What difference, at this point, does it really make?” defense.
Give her a fair trial and when she is found guilty, Lock Her Up.
You are not wrong, in general.
There can be, however, sly arguments that assert the new findings could/should have been known before they were actually known. Generally, such can be dismissed unless proven they were premeditated somehow.
