1. I've been wondering if there was any recourse to his vexatious litigation to terrorize others

I hope more people subjected to his abuse of the legal system will hit back hard. Kudos to the judge!

6. I have been following this lawsuit for a long time.

The lawyers in this case deserved to be sanctioned and those sanctions may include disbarment.

Donald Trump and his lawyers have suffered quite a few defeats of late, and as CNBC reported yesterday, their latest setback will hit their wallets.

A federal judge Thursday sanctioned attorneys for former President Donald Trump to pay $50,000 as penalty for advancing a “frivolous” lawsuit against a raft of Trump’s political enemies, including Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. Judge Donald Middlebrooks’ scathing order in Florida federal court suggested Trump’s lawyers had undermined the rule of law by pushing a political narrative in court “without factual basis or any cognizable legal theory.”

......The judge in the case didn’t just reject the underlying claims, Middlebrooks could barely contain his disgust with the inanity of the legal complaint.

American courtrooms are not supposed to be abused by politicians filing frivolous cases for no reasons. Those who do open themselves up to possible sanctions — and in this case, the district court judge seemed open to that possibility in September......

The penalties were imposed on several Trump lawyers, including Alina Habba. What’s more, the sanctions may not end there: “Additional sanctions may be appropriate,” the judge added in yesterday’s ruling.

7. It's bs the the US taxpayers have to pay this penalty

Because you know the orange piggy won’t pay a dime of his own money.

And I hope I’m wrong. Did E Jean Carroll ever get paid?

8. It's about damn time his abuses of the courts stop!

From the original date of the judgment and legal fees for the appeals.

11. I refer to the USSC

As a "Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Republican Party.......the best judges the republican party could buy

12. Is Habba still keeping the AG chair warm in NJ?

I suspect it is on appeal but have heard no more but I know the Judge considers her illegal and if she signs her name to anything it could be considered void. So is she still sitting there collecting a paycheque?

13. Thank you, Judge WILLIAM PRYOR!

A federal appeals court upheld a $1 million penalty against President Donald Trump and his former lawyer Alina Habba for filing a "frivolous" lawsuit against Hillary Clinton, James Comey and others.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals found that Trump's 2022 lawsuit – which first came in at 108 pages and then 193 pages in an amended complaint – violated federal court rules with tenuous links between a myriad of defendants and legal claims.

"The district court decided that the amended complaint advanced legal theories foreclosed by precedent 'that the most basic legal research would have revealed,'" reads the 36-page decision.....

"Trump leaves all these frivolous claims behind, making a total of 11 of his 16 claims he does not appeal," the court ruled. "Trump and Habba give us no reason to reverse the district court’s ruling that these claims were frivolous."
