Gabbard Sues ‘Political Rival’ Clinton For A Whopping $50 Million

Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) sued Hillary Clinton for $50 million Wednesday, claiming that Clinton’s allusion to Gabbard as a “Russian asset” caused the Presidential hopeful “anguish and damage to her reputation.”

Well, Gabbard’s 3rd party run isn’t going to pay for itself.

Someone else that needs a constant reminder that HRC isn’t running in this election.

It’s all for show. The courts will throw it out after laughing in her face.

But her supporters? All in.

ETA: Discovery should be fun.

She’s gone full Nunes! What, pray tell, is her endgame? I wish Hillary would shut up but she was spot on with her Tulsi comments.

I was originally guessing it would be a Larry Klayman piece, but it turns out her lawyers are nobody I’ve ever heard of before. Hope they didn’t take this on contingency, unless they’re just in it for the publicity. This is going to get 12(b)(6)'d pretty quickly.

“Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) sued Hillary Clinton for $50 million Wednesday…”

“Clinton’s attorneys responded to the suit with a statement that read, in its entirety, ‘Ha! PS: Ha, ha’.”

Motion to dismiss for failure to state a legally viable claim. Also anti-SLAPP, although I gather that New York’s statute is relatively weak.

100 percent correct.

The complaint, filed in the Southern District of New York, is peppered with insults, referring to Clinton as a “cutthroat politician by any account,” a candidate who “lost in surprise upsets” and someone known to hold “long-time grudges.”

Sounds like she’s lifting a page from the impeachment defense protocol. No substance, but plenty of ranting.
