Clinton asks judge to dismiss Trump's lawsuit over 2016 election
TFG cannot get a top tier or even a second tier lawyer to represent him. This lawsuit is a piece of crap brought by two shopping center lawyers

Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton on Wednesday asked a federal judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by former president Donald Trump alleging that Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and others “maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative” that Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential race.
“Whatever the utility of Plaintiff’s Complaint as a fundraising tool, a press release, or a list of political grievances, it has no merit as a lawsuit, and should be dismissed with prejudice,” attorneys for Clinton wrote in their motion to dismiss the case......
In their motion filed Wednesday, Clinton’s attorneys argued that the statute of limitations had expired “long ago” since the bulk of Trump’s claims date to 2016 and 2017. They pointed to an October 2017 tweet in which Trump railed against the “Clinton made Fake Dossier” and declared, “There is so much GUILT by Democrats/Clinton, and now the facts are pouring out. DO SOMETHING!”
“[N]otwithstanding his rousing, all-caps call to action, Plaintiff waited four years, four months, and twenty-four days before filing suit,” Clinton’s attorneys said in the filing. “His delay renders each of his claims untimely.”
