""What the Amended Complaint lacks in substance and legal support it
seeks to substitute with length, hyperbole, and the settling of scores
and grievances," the judge added. "Plaintiff has annotated the Amended Complaint with 293 footnotes containing references to various public
reports and findings. He is not required to annotate his Complaint; in
fact, it is inconsistent with Rule 8’s requirement of a short and plain statement of the claim. But if a party chooses to include such
references, it is expected that they be presented in good faith and with evidentiary support. Unfortunately, that is not the case here."
The judge said the evidence did not show any reason why Trump should be entitled to any of the relief he sought, and he cited a federal rule authorizing sanctions against lawyers who filed claims that aren't
supported by evidence or existing law.
"In presenting a pleading, an attorney certifies that it is not being presented for any improper purpose; that the claims are warranted under
the law; and that the factual contentions have evidentiary support," Middlebrooks wrote.
"By filing the Amended Complaint, Plaintiff’s lawyers certified to the Court that, to the best of their knowledge, 'the claims, defenses, and
other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a
nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing
law or for establishing new law,' and that 'the factual contentions have evidentiary support,'” the judge added. "I have serious doubts about whether that standard is met here."
Trump's attorneys Alina Habba and Peter Ticktin unsuccessfully tried to
get the case before District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, but instead it
landed in the court overseen by Middlebrooks, who wasn't happy with the filing."

"‘Go for it b****!’: The Lincoln Project’s Rick Wilson launches fiery video at Trump after legal threat
’We’re delighted by the thought you would try to sue us, Donald’, the former Republican operative says"
"Rick Scott of the Lincoln Project said he welcomed former president
Donald Trump’s threats to sue the group of former Republican strategists who have released ads that sharply criticised him.
Mr Trump threatened legal action on his social networking platform Truth Social over a new ad, which aired on a local Fox affiliate and not Fox
News proper.
“The Perverts and Lowlifes of the Lincoln Project are back on, where
else, Fox News,” Mr Trump said. “I thought they ran away to the asylum after their last catastrophic campaign, with charges made against them
that were big time sleaze, and me getting many more votes in 2020 than I
got in 2016.”
Mr Trump’s post seems to be a sutble hint at the stories about former Lincoln Project operative John Weaver, who faced accusations from
multiple men of inappropriate sexual contact. Mr Trump noted how former
House Speaker Paul Ryan, with whom he frequently clashed during his presidency, sits on the board for Fox News.
“The Perverts should not be allowed to ‘false advertise,’ and Fox News should not allow it to happen,” he said. “See you all in Court!!!”"

The orange idiot originally threatened to sue Fakes News, but the ads he doesn't like were not running on Fakes News.
