Middlebrooks. of Southern District of Florida wrote in a drastic 65-page ruling from Thursday. Referee also wrote about the “arrogance of Plaintiff’s legal theories and method in that they are clearly contrary to binding case law.”

Middlebrooks noted “clear structural deficiencies in plaintiff’s argument” and said that “such pleadings waste judicial resources and are an unacceptable form of of establishing a claim for relief.”

Trump lawsuit filed in March, took target Clinton and circle of Democratic allies, including Christopher Steele, former British spy hired by the opposition research hard work for Clinton campaign who compiled an infamous dossier on Trump-Russia ties. Trump’s lawsuit alleges he incurred expenses of more than $24 million defending yourself against charges and claimed damages equivalent to three times what amount.

The decision was a victory for clinton, who in April asked the judge to dismiss the case, stating, “Whatever the usefulness of Plaintiff’s complaint as a fundraising tool, press release, or list of political grievances, it doesn’t make sense as a lawsuit, and should be fired with prejudice.”

In the process just that Middlebrooks criticized the quality of legal work presented by Trump’s lawyers.

“A lot of of characteristics of the amended complaint of events implausible as they do not contain any specific statements that could provide actual support for conclusions drawn,” wrote Middlebrooks.

As an example, the judge cited the claim that former FBI director James B. Comey senior officials in the agency and then-Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein “overzealously pursued” Trump and his campaign by appointing special counsel research role Russia played in elections in 2016.

As for Steele, Middlebrooks wrote that despite numerous references to him in Trump’s lawsuit, “no one specifically attributes false statement about the Plaintiff to him.

Later judge took shot at what he said was a broad lawsuit attempt to criminalize criticism of trump, writing: “Neither political opposition to Claimant, animosity toward Claimant, nor involvement in political speech about a plaintiff who dumps him in negative light is illegal.”

Middlebrooks also emphasized the difference between being in conflict with Trump and harming him: “Speak out against the presidential campaign not amount to perceived material damage.
