Former President Donald Trump is suing Hillary Clinton and countless other Democratic politicians and officials for spreading false information about her collusion with Russia in 2016.
In the 108-page lawsuit, Trump details the depth of the conspiracy to derail his presidential campaign and uses the findings of the special counsel to identify the masterminds behind the lies that he somehow cooperated with the Kremlin, the Federalist reports .
Those named in the complaint include Christopher Steele, the author of the leaked Steele dossier; some false sources, including Igor Danchencko; the Democratic National Committee; Clinton's former campaign lawyer, Michael Sussmann, who was indicted for lying to the FBI; Sussmann's former law partner and Democratic operative Marc Elias; Fusion GPS, hired by the Clinton campaign to collect information on Trump; former FBI Director James Comey; President Joe Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan; Kevin Clinesmith, who pleaded guilty to falsifying the FISA warrant used to spy on Carter Page; and many others.
As special counsel John Durham revealed in his investigation into the conspiracy, the Clinton campaign orchestrated the Spygate fraud to undermine Trump's presidential campaign.
Using a patently false narrative that was quickly picked up by the propaganda press and is still being peddled, Clinton's hires used information they had secretly obtained to convince the Obama administration to spy on Trump and his aides.
“They worked together for a single, self-serving goal: to discredit Donald J. Trump. Indeed, the purpose of their far-reaching conspiracy was to cripple Trump's presidential campaign by concocting a scandal that would be used to launch a baseless federal investigation and fuel a media frenzy."
the complaint states.
These actions, Trump's complaint details, were not only incredibly illegal at times, but downright scandalous.
“Acting in concert, the defendants maliciously conspired to weave a false narrative that their Republican opponent, Donald J. Trump, was colluding with a hostile foreign sovereignty. The steps they took to conspire—falsify evidence, deceive law enforcement, and exploit access to highly sensitive data sources—are so outrageous, subversive, and incendiary that even Watergate pales in comparison.”
the complaint states.
Trump's complaint also notes that "the consequences of the defendants' actions were not limited to public discredit" and attorney fees, but that the government wasted "valuable time, resources and taxpayer dollars." As a result, Trump is seeking more than $72 million in damages.
