What is FRAUD?
Fraud consists of some deceitful practice or willful device, resorted to with intent to deprive another of his right, or in some manner to do him an injury. As distinguishedfrom negligence, it is always positive, intentional. Maher v. Hibernia Ins. Co.,67 N. Y. 292; Alexander v. Church, 53 Conn. 501, 4 Atl. 103; Studer v. Bleistein. 115 N.Y. 31G, 22 X.

Bottom line, it is not a winnable CRIMINAL case.

A case that could be brought? Quite possibly. Won? No. Because, at a minimum, a judge might well toss it asa matter of law or one Moore hater would hang the jury.

Then the acquittal or hung jury allows the Def, Senator Menendez for example, can proclaim, “See, I wasn’t guilty. It was all false accusations, etc.”
