A Florida judge sanctioned former President Donald Trump and one of his attorneys, ordering them to pay nearly $1 million for filing what he
said was a bogus lawsuit against Trump's 2016 rival Hillary Clinton and others.
In a blistering filing on Thursday, U.S. District Judge Donald M. Middlebrooks accused Trump of a “pattern of abuse of the courts" for
filing frivolous lawsuits for political purposes, which he said
"undermines the rule of law" and “amounts to obstruction of justice.”
“Here, we are confronted with a lawsuit that should never have been
filed, which was completely frivolous, both factually and legally, and
which was brought in bad faith for an improper purpose," he wrote.

Ah heck, that's only the start of the fun and frivolity.

"The withdrawal comes after U.S. District Judge Donald Middlebrooks
warned Trump's legal team that the lawsuit was borderline frivolous."

"Judge lists the 'telltale signs' of a frivolous Trump lawsuit in
scathing order"
""This case should never have been brought. Its inadequacy as a legal
claim was evident from the start. No reasonable lawyer would have filed
it. Intended for a political purpose, none of the counts of the amended complaint stated a cognizable legal claim," wrote Middlebrooks.
"The behavior is not unique, but part of a plan, or at least a
playbook," the judge continued.
The patterns common to frivolous Trump lawsuits include "provocative and boastful rhetoric"; "a political narrative carried over from rallies";
"attacks on political opponents and the news media"; "disregard for
legal principles and precedent"; and "fundraising and payments to
lawyers from political action committees.""
