Former President Trump asked a federal appeals court Tuesday to toss nearly $1 million in sanctions against him and his attorneys after a judge found a lawsuit brought against Hillary Clinton and other defendants was without merit.
In a filing in the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, Trump’s lawyers argued that a federal judge’s order dismissing a lawsuit in 2022 and further ordering sanctions in 2023 against Trump and his attorneys were not justified. They also argue the sanctions “violated due process and was an abuse of discretion.”
Good lord, I didn’t even know about this one.
Remember when a slightly inappropriate/enthusiastic shout, a misspelled word or a picture with a woman who wasn’t the candidate’s wife, or a dumb picture riding a tank was grounds to call one poor Presidential material and sink a campaign? *
Remember when Sarah Palin was considered too laughably stupid to be VP? How about when Reagan would make a joke and the country would melt down? Or Carter getting his ass handed to him for, rightly, pointing out that we were suffering malaise?
Today, this sort of scandal doesn’t even make the front page.
