A federal court of appeals on Friday gave former president Donald Trump more time to file a key document in an effort to resuscitate his failed lawsuit against Hillary Clinton in which he accuses her, and several others, of rigging the 2016 presidential election against him.

In March 2022, Trump filed a massive racketeering (RICO) lawsuit against Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., former FBI director James Comey, and other named defendants. The original petition alleged a conspiracy in which the parties worked toward “a nefarious scheme to discredit, delegitimize and defame” the then-first time candidate Trump.

Now, in the waning days of his third bid for public office, the underlying lawsuit is long-since dead and gone – dismissed as “frivolous” and “hyperbole” by a district court in Florida in September 2022 – but remains on appellate life support in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

In a terse order, Trump-appointed U.S. Circuit Judge Kevin C. Newsom gave Trump an opportunity to stretch the process a bit further – and to opine about the issues at stake in the appeal at length.

1. These so called "justices "

are just as degenerate and corrupt as he is.

2. What a ridiculous case! Accusing her of "rigging" an election which she LOST ???

In what world does this make sense?

DonOLD's World, of course!!!!

(Hey, that sounds like a good name for a new show for him---
community-access cable TV from a basement bathroom at Mara Lagoon,
if he ever gets out of prison after he loses this election!)

[Justice matters.]

3. Because the things they were saying hurt his feefees.

While he was plotting with Cohen and Pecker to actually rig the election in his favor and got criminally convicted for rigging it on 34 counts a jury found him guilty of 34 times.

The convicted felon is weaker than a snowflake.

4. The federal court system sucking up to the convicted felon. chuckle

44 months and counting (includes foot dragging)

5. Clinton affirmatively indicated she did not oppose the extension.

“On the basis of the representations Appellants make in their present motion, Appellee Clinton does not oppose the present extension request”

Buried in the article.

6. I expect in 99% of cases

"it happens". It is par for the course.

Unfortunately the prosecution of a former President ends up highlighting what are usually "the norms" of legal proceedings and is magnifying them.
