Lawfare: how is this defined

---

Lawfare is very easily defined as Malicious Prosecution (also known as malicious use of process). And since you are either ignorant to the concept or slept at a Holiday Inn last night, heres some helpful nuggets for you

* is done to intimidate, harass, defame, or otherwise injure the other party
* abuse of process claims can be brought even in response to claims that have an underlying legitimate reason
* inappropriate lien on a defendant's property to force them to relent
* prosecutor filing false charges against a political rival
* abuse of process usually happens after a legitimate lawsuit has already been filed
* brought by someone against whom a criminal or civil action has proceeded with malicious intent

Plus this:

quote:

---

Criminal prosecuting attorneys and judges are protected from tort liability for malicious prosecution by doctrines of prosecutorial immunity and judicial immunity.

They get to claim immunity, even if proven. They have nothing to risk by repeatedly targeting Trump

Thats Lawfare. Youre welcome
