Trump’s new conspiracy suit worse than original

Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party brushed off Donald Trump’s amended lawsuit accusing them of conspiring to undermine his presidency with claims of Russian collusion as a “swollen” political manifesto devoid of facts.
The revised suit “alleges a series of disconnected political disputes” that Trump has “alchemized into a sweeping conspiracy” by his foes, according to a motion to dismiss filed Thursday by Clinton, her 2016 campaign chairman John Podesta and former DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, among others.
Trump “improbably” ties Clinton to former FBI director James Comey, a Republican who publicly announced the reopening of a probe into Clinton’s emails 11 days before the 2016 election, undermining her campaign; as well as former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, a Trump appointee. Comey and Rosenstein are both defendants in the suit, first filed in March.
“All that links these disparate people and events is plaintiff’s antipathy toward them,” Clinton’s attorney David E. Kendall wrote. “This is a president who doesn’t just list his enemies; he sues them.”
Trump’s suit, filed under the civil version of a racketeering law normally used against organized crime, accuses more than two dozen defendants.
