wanted to order the doj to prosecute his enemies. hillary clinton and james comey. that of course failed fantastically what his white house counsel refused the request. so, once out of office trump took matters in his own hand. in march, trump sued hillary clinton, the democratic national committee, james comey and a whole host of other characters. accusing them of being part of a conspiracy against him. in what he refers to as the trump russia conspiracy. this is all circa 2016. all of these people, according to, trump made up evidence against him in an attempt to deny him to russia hillary clinton and her, quo cohorts, orchestrated in unthinkable plot. trump sought $24 million in damages. that s not an insignificant amount of money. and he chose to file that lawsuit roughly 70 miles from his palm beach home, because the judge presiding in that jurisdiction just so happen to be his appointee. that judge whom we all come to know very well over the past few weeks, of course,
