Can Trump Win His Lawsuit Against Hillary Clinton And The DNC For Their Russia Collusion Lies?

Former President Trump’s lawyers allege a total of 16 separate counts, ranging from racketeering claims to state tort claims.

Last week, former President Donald Trump filed a sprawling lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and the other main players responsible for the Russia collusion hoax. Here’s your lawsplainer for Trump v. Clinton, et. al.

First, the Facts

The 103-page complaint filed in a Florida federal court on Thursday begins with a synopsis of the Democratic plot to frame Trump as a Russian asset, spurring the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into his presidential campaign and later his administration. Among other things, the lawsuit highlights the Clinton campaign’s hiring of Perkins Coie, alleging the law firm “was tasked with spearheading the scheme to find — or fabricate — proof of a sinister link between Donald J. Trump and Russia.”

According to the lawsuit, Perkins Coie lawyers Marc Elias and Michael Sussmann enlisted others, including the investigative firm of Fusion GPS and its co-founders, Peter Fritsch and Glenn Simpson, and “Neustar, Inc., an information technology company, and one of its top executives, Rodney Joffe.” The complaint then detailed Fusion GPS’s hiring of Christopher Steele, the principal and founder of Orbis Ltd., and Steele’s use of Igor Danchenko as a primary sub-source for the fraudulent Steele dossier that the defendants fed to the FBI and the media to craft the Russia-collusion narrative.

Simultaneously, Joffe and others exploited “their access to non-public data in search of a secret ‘back channel’ connection between Trump Tower and Alfa Bank,” the complaint alleged, but, according to the complaint, after discovering “no such channel existed, the defendants resorted to truly subversive measures hacking servers at Trump Tower, Trump’s private apartment, and, most alarmingly, the White House.” “This ill-gotten data was then manipulated to create a misleading ‘inference’” of Russia collusion,” the complaint charged. That data was then provided to the FBI and CIA, as well as peddled to the media.

In turn, the complaint continued, what Trump called a “small faction of Clinton loyalists” in the Department of Justice and FBI, including James Comey, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Kevin Clinesmith, and Bruce Ohr, allegedly abused their authority by, among other things, obtaining the illegal FISA warrant to spy on former Trump campaign advisor Carter Page and to trigger the appointment of Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Together, these schemes caused Trump to incur upward of $24 million to defend against the false charges Clinton and her cronies concocted, the lawsuit alleged as damages.

This summary represents a fraction of the details included in the complaint — and an even smaller sliver of the totality of the facts of SpyGate — but it sets the stage sufficiently to understand the theories Trump’s legal team present: Trump’s lawyers allege a total of 16 separate counts, ranging from RICO claims to state law tort claims.

1. RICO and RICO Conspiracy

In Count I of the complaint, Trump sues Clinton, the Clinton campaign, the Democratic National Committee, Perkins Coie, and lawyers Elias and Sussmann under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, better known as “RICO.” While racketeering, as defined in the statute, constitutes a federal crime, in passing RICO Congress also created a “civil right of action,” meaning those harmed by violations of RICO could sue for damages civilly.

To state a civil RICO claim, a plaintiff such as Trump must allege four elements: (1) conduct (2) of an enterprise (3) through a pattern (4) of racketeering activity. To satisfy the “pattern of racketeering activity element,” a plaintiff must allege: “(1) that defendants committed two or more predicate acts within a ten-year time span; (2) the predicate acts were related to one another; and (3) the predicate acts demonstrate criminal conduct of a continuing nature.”

In his complaint, Trump alleged Clinton, her campaign, the DNC, Perkins Coie, Elias, and Sussmann constituted an “enterprise” within the meaning of the statute. Whether this group, coming together to push the Russia collusion hoax, qualifies as a RICO enterprise presents an interesting question, but one ultimately irrelevant, as will soon be seen, given the underlying predicate acts Trump alleges.

Specifically, Trump alleges two possible “predicate acts” or underlying crimes, the defendants allegedly committed, which his legal team then argues establishes a RICO violation. First, the complaint alleges that...

FDA, CDC Guilty of Clinical Malpractice and Scientific Fraud by Inaction and Omission on mRNA Vaccine Safety Warnings

Today, unquestionably serious cardiovascular, thrombotic and neurologic adverse events related to the vaccine have occurred around the world. The FDA’s own vaccine adverse event tracking system (the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System or VAERS) shows substantial and serious risks from the vaccine, even though the FDA only collects an estimated 10% of all adverse events.

Still, federal agencies and manufacturers aren’t officially warning the American public about these risks, despite having been privy to this information for almost a whole year. Why? Because it would counter the narrative that taking endless vaccines and boosters is your patriotic duty.

It’s pretty clear today there are both safety and efficacy problems with vaccines and boosters. Because all of the FDA’s 18,000-plus employees had access to the same drug safety data we have, one must ask:

Where is the updated Covid-19 labeling reflecting the latest safety and efficacy findings in VAERS?
Where are the FDA “Dear Doctor” letters giving updated safety guidance?
Where are the “Dear Pharmacist” letters to pharmacists who are still daily administering thousands of boosters to kids and other young healthy people?
Why isn’t the FDA recommending follow-up symptom tracking to avoid further inflammatory neurologic/thrombotic/cardiovascular tragedies instead of its proposal to extend the dosing interval and cross fingers that it would mitigate risk (as there is no concrete clinical evidence that it will do anything?
Why is the FDA ignoring internal drug safety epidemiologists who have stated during official FDA presentations that it only takes a single, well-documented adverse event to justify a safety signal investigation and warning to the American public of the risk?
Why isn’t the FDA demanding studies addressing genotoxicity, teratogenicity, oncogenicity, the potential for reduced fertility in men and women, the clinical effects of spike proteins in donated blood, and the bioaccumulation of vaccine in women’s ovaries? Why isn’t the agency convening and dedicating a Data Safety Monitoring Board to surveil all these post-marketing effects and others?

Are Americans expected to believe that the $6.5 billion-per-year taxpayer-funded FDA lacks adequate funding to address all these public health issues?

Not Fully Disclosing Safety Risks to Patients Violates Ethics and States’ Licensing Standards

In order for a physician, pharmacist, and nurse, or anyone else with a clinical professional license to work at the FDA or CDC or any other public health agency, that person must have a “current, active, full, and unrestricted license or registration from any state in the US.” Not fully warning patients about the potential dangers from any drug before administering useless and potentially dangerous vaccines and boosters places these professionals’ licenses at risk, regardless of what the CDC, FDA, or White House says.

Physicians, pharmacists, and nurses have always been held to a higher standard. They are expected to think for themselves rather than simply take orders.

As the truth is elucidated about vaccine efficacy and safety, these federal employees and mRNA vaccine manufacturers who colluded to withhold information from the public will be held accountable, and the whole “I was just following orders” excuse will not cut it. Just keeping your head down and cruising through your job, handing out vaccines is not an option when it comes to the lives of your fellow Americans when licensures are...

Alix Aharon is the owner of the Gender Mapping Project, which seeks to abolish the highly lucrative gender industry that is preying on vulnerable children and their families. The website offers a strong mission statement and many resources.

The Global Gender Mapping Project is an educational resource for anyone who has been affected by the gender industry, we offer no apologies for our dedication to abolishing the gender industry.We are dedicated to delivering the truth about what is happening to children and youth by documenting the hard numbers on how many gender clinics, how many surgical clinics, and recording evidence where necessary. We wish to hold those who are harming to account and we demand justice for the victims. It is important to document who is doing what to whom and identify those who are harming vulnerable children for profit.

The Gender Mapping Project offers classes for adults harmed by the gender industry, online prostitution, pornography, and social media cults that are causing many young people to get lost down the dark road of gender ideology. The project is also tracking gender clinics around the world that are performing surgeries like orchiectomies (testicle removal) on children as young as twelve.

Much like Project Veritas, the Gender Mapping Project volunteers go undercover, either inside clinics or on the phone, recording evidence of these crimes against humanity. PolitiFact, a left-wing “fact-checker,” has repeatedly denied that children are getting hormones or surgeries.

The information is unsubstantiated. The guidelines for the medical care of transgender patients, developed by organizations such as the Endocrine Society and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, do not recommend puberty blockers for children who have not reached puberty; do not recommend hormone treatment for those under 16 years old; and typically restrict genital reassignment surgery to those 18 and older, who also meet other criteria.

The onset of puberty is the baseline for medical intervention. Puberty typically occurs between ages 10 and 14 for girls and 12 and 16 for boys.

But the Gender Mapping Project has evidence that says this is a lie. (It’s also interesting that PolitiFact did not mention mastectomies at all in their “fact-check,” which, according to evidence, are absolutely done to children as young as 12.) Here’s Arielle Scarcella confirming with a gender clinic in Texas that—until the law changed recently—they were performing mastectomies on 12-year-olds. Such laws do not exist in other states, where the barbaric practice is still going on.

Here is an ethical analysis on PubMed discussing mastectomies on minors called “Mastectomy and Chest Masculinization in Transmasculine Minors: A Case Series and Analysis by Ethical Principles,” written in 2021.

The opening line reads, “Mastectomy for chest masculinization is a commonly performed gender-affirming surgery in minor patients, a vulnerable population with unique developmental and psychosocial needs.” [Emphasis mine] The analysis highlights a 16-year-old patient who tried to remove her own breasts and was then given a double mastectomy. Imagine enabling the self-harm of a mentally ill person who tried to cut off...

Biden’s Budget Earmarks BILLIONS For Energy Projects … In Other Countries

Joe Biden’s budget would boost international climate spending to more than $11 billion, quadrupling previous U.S. global green commitments.

The federal government would advance Biden’s so-called “historic climate finance pledge” under the plan, according to the White House budget published Monday. Overall, the budget calls for Congress to appropriate $44.9 billion to defeat the “climate crisis,” a $16.7 billion year-over-year increase.

“U.S. international climate assistance and financing would: accelerate the global energy transition to net-zero emissions by 2050; help developing countries build resilience to the growing impacts of climate change; and support the implementation of the President’s Plan to Conserve Global Forests: Critical Carbon Sinks,” the document stated.

An estimated $1.6 billion will be given to the international United Nations-backed Green Climate Fund (GCF) which the budget said finances “climate adaptation and mitigation projects in developing countries.” Another $3.2 billion would be loaned to the Clean Technology Fund to finance clean energy projects in developing countries.

Biden’s budget further vowed to decrease global “reliance on producers of nonrenewable resources.” (RELATED: Developing Nations Demand More Than $1 Trillion Per Year From West To Combat Climate Change)

The president first announced his international climate funding ambitions in April before again increasing his goal during a speech at the United Nations in September, in which he raised the goal to about $11.4 billion.

While former President Barack Obama promised $3 billion to the GCF, a pledge he fell far short of, former President Donald Trump backed out of international climate finance agreements altogether, saying they would cost taxpayers a “vast fortune.”

The GCF was created by the UN in 2009 when wealthy nations promised to give $100 billion to developing countries for climate projects by 2020. However, the world has fallen far short of its commitments since then.

“Of course, the world’s top polluters have no affirmative obligations under the Green Fund, which we terminated,” Trump remarked in June 2017. “America is $20 trillion in debt. Cash-strapped cities cannot hire enough police officers or fix vital infrastructure.”

“Millions of our citizens are out of work,” he continued. “And yet, under the Paris Accord, billions of dollars that ought to be invested right here in America will be sent to...

Lawmaker lifts the lid on “sexual perversion that goes on in Washington.”

Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn revealed during an interview that elites in DC invited him to secret sex orgies at their private homes.

Yes, really.

The host of the Warrior Poet Society podcast brought up the rampant corruption of Washington DC as portrayed in the Netflix show House of Cards.

Rep. Cawthorn agreed that the show was closer to a documentary than a work of fiction.

“The sexual perversion that goes on in Washington,” he responded, before going ton to reveal how older politicians attempted to recruit him to join their weird sex clubs.

“I look at all these people, a lot of them that I’ve looked up to through my life, I’ve always paid attention to politics. Then all of the sudden you get invited to: ‘Well hey we’re going to have kind of a sexual get together at one of our homes, you should come,” said Cawthorn.

“I’m like: ‘What did you just ask me to come to?” he continued. “Then you realize they are asking you to come to an orgy.”

Cawthorn also revealed how some of the same lawmakers who are “leading on the movement to try and remove addiction in our country” are doing drugs at such parties.

“You watch them do, you know, a key bump of cocaine right in front of you and it’s like ‘Wow, this is wild,” he said.

The Congressman explained how lawmakers get bullied into making compromises because powerful entities get...
