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.”
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.
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.
