ONOZ - not to make them spend money = the HORROR
That is exactly what we NEED to make them do - spend their money on something other than stealing elections and smearing opponents.

So it's about political retribution? Guy beats them back , humiliates Mueller and largely discredit the whole narrative and then comes back to WIN the Presidency.
He already won. Grinding them down even more in counter productive.

I just want it as a deterrent. I don't care what Trump's motivations are.

That's the goal dimwit. He wants to break them.

Trump won...and did so bigly.

It will not act as that.

It'll be more of a deterrent than doing nothing.
And those people are vile and deserve to be legally punished, so if the civil courts are the only way to punish them I don't lose any sleep over it.

Trump believes in the judicial system like no other.

He uses it as a potential source of personal revenue. Gotta pay that broad from the dressing room.

It’s absolutely crucial that we hold people more accountable. This shite is out of control.

It's a bullshite case and one that a judge in prelims will dismiss. It's a nuisance suit, pure and simple and it won't prevent " political collusion". Trump won the case in the political arena twice. Take the W and move on.

I’ve represented plaintiffs in substantial civil RICO cases. There’s a lot of space between filing the pleadings
and completing a successful trial.

Going after them doesn't erase the W.

So take a loss and expose himself for the retributive clown that he tries to avoid being? Doesn't ease the W, but it does cheapen it.

From your experience, wouldn't this civil RICO action be time-barred?
EDIT: NVM, this thread was about a case filed long ago and dismissed with SERIOUS sanctions.

I don't really care what Trump makes himself look like, but losing in the courtroom isn't the stigma you seem to think it is. The average person knows the judiciary is tainted, and that was demonstrated when he won.

I appreciate the update about this being an old case. Lol, sorry I wasted time on SOL questions.
You really have to wonder about Trump’s lawyers. Why didn't they judge shop to avoid a CLINTON-appointed judge in Florida???
Here was the "rest of the story" from Judge Donald Middlebrooks's Wikipedia.org page:
Middlebrooks dismissed the suit brought by Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, and 26 others, seeking damages for alleged conduct surrounding the 2016 presidential election.[4] Middlebrooks concluded that "most of Plaintiff’s claims are not only unsupported by any legal authority but plainly foreclosed by binding precedent as set forth by the Supreme Court and the Eleventh Circuit." and that Trump "is not attempting to seek redress for any legal harm; instead, he is seeking to flaunt a two-hundred-page political manifesto outlining his grievances against those that have opposed him, and this Court is not the appropriate forum."[5][4] Two months after he dismissed the case, Middlebrooks assessed Trump's lawyers $50,000 in penalties, plus $16,000 to cover the legal fees paid by one of the defendants.[6] In a later ruling, he imposed additional sanctions of $937,989.39 on Trump and his lead law firm in the litigation for bringing a lawsuit “in bad faith for an improper purpose” that “needlessly harmed” the defendants, “in order to dishonestly advance a political narrative.”[7]
