NO MIDDLING THE CLINTON LAWSUIT

Former President #45 and his Trump High Powered * Legal Team (hereinafter THPLT) who are suing former secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the SDFL (because it's a Miami thing) have moved to recuse Judge Middlebrooks because ....wait for it...he was appointed by President Clinton, the husband (gasp) of the defendant in the case. 

Naturally, we have some thoughts. 
First, it took a lot of high-powered maneuvering by Bill Gates, the Tri-Lateral Commission, the Georgia Secretary of State, and certain Pizza establishments in Washington, DC to get the complaint to be assigned to Judge Middlebrooks to begin with. Does the *THPLT team think that they can just get Judge Middlebrooks off the case because they smell a rat? Not in the name of the Fake Moon Landings, not to mention the Arizona Secret Stuffed Ballot Initiative ASS-B-I. 

Remember this is the same Judge Middlebrooks that the THPLT believes was dinning with President Biden at Camp David just before the blockbuster lawsuit was filed. **

Now interestingly,  the members of the THPLT are not composed of any of the other lawyers who filed lawsuits challenging the election results in the last election due to the fact that all of those lawyers are facing hefty fines for their frivolous filings and/or are being investigated for ethical violations,  including the basic ethical rule all law students are taught on the first day of law school: "I will not advance any cause on behalf of clients who are batshit crazy."  (Pardon our use of technical legal terms, but this is after all a legal blog so just try and bear with us). 

We have included the powerhouse motion filed by THPLT, but exclusive to this blog, we also  have the checklist for the other reasons to disqualify Judge Middlebrooks that the THPLT considered, but ultimately abandoned: 

1) Judge Middlebrooks may be of Mexican descent because one of his ancestors was known as El Middlebrooks;  2) from the years 2008-2016 Judge Middlebrooks worked in a courthouse that had a picture of Barack Obama in the lobby; 3) Judge Middlebrooks likes catsup on his french fries and so does Joe Biden AND so does Hillary Clinton; 4) Judge Middlebrooks was overheard laughing when the former president recommended at a news conference that people drink bleach to kill the covid19 virus;  and 5) Judge Middlebrooks has been frequently seen wearing a mask!!. 

We also have an exclusive story that the THPLT tried, at the request of their client, to file their lawsuit in the Supreme Court, but gave up after the Supreme Court clerks who answered their phone call couldn't stop laughing when the THPLT asked for directions on how to file their suit directly with the court. 


* NOT.  You try writing that with a straight face. 
** But that never happened. They are just loopy.

The motion is not batshit crazy on its face (unlike the complaint). But the problem with the motion is what comes next if granted. Will every Clinton appointee have to recuse? How about Trump appointees? How about Obama appointees since H. Clinton was Sec. of State during the Obama administration?

Let's just say Obama appointees stay. We have enough Bush and Obama appointees to pick from for the District Court phase. But what about the inevitable appeal? Now things get sticky. And what if it goes to the Nine? There are three Trump appointees on SCOTUS. How are Trump and his crack team going to react to the H.Clinton team asking for a third of SCOTUS to recuse based on the same theory that Trump is asserting against Middlebrooks?

No. The lawyers are the adjective I used.

THE CAPTAIN REPORTS:

OH, FLORIDA .....

WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU FIND A JUROR EXCUSED BECAUSE SHE HAD TO MEET UP WITH HER "SUGAR DADDY"

On Monday, a woman was dismissed when she began crying upon seeing Nikolas Cruz — not a new occurrence; that also happened to three women at an October hearing. Another prospective juror had a personal connection to the judge, having taught her how to roller-skate as a child. Yet another had met Cruz in 2016 on a group outing, while one woman was excused after saying she couldn’t serve on a jury because she needed to meet up with her “sugar daddy” every day.

CAP OUT .......

I am moving to dq judges who were appointed by the same president who also appointed the us attorney who hired the AUSA prosecuting the case. They are practically brothers and sisters under this logic.

It's turning into a bizarro world over there. All we need now is the popcorn and cotton candy. Is anybody taking this seriously? A man's life is at stake here. Personally, I am looking forward to Tiger Woods teeing it up at the masters on Thursday.

I dunno, seems simple. The Clinton campaign alleged that the Trump campaign was engaged in quid pro quo with a hostile foreign country and relied on federal employees and tax dollars to make these allegations.

If it's true, what they did was heroic. If it was an obvious lie, recklessly or knowingly embraced by the Clinton campaign, then those behind it should face justice.

So... did the Trump campaign collude with Russia? I have been told, repeatedly, that they did. Demonstrate that it's true and the Clinton campaign should be lauded. Short of that, let them face the consequences.

All of this name-calling is obfuscation.

Only thing worse? Rosy Aponte is in DV. Apparently wore out her welcome in Dependency. How bad is she that they put a Circuit Judge in a County judge postion? 🤣

Judge glammed out in Cruz case…big debut. Feels like she is having a sweet 16. Okay or not?

Hey, she wants to look pretty and sharp for the judgeship her daddy bought for her. Nothing wrong with that.

"I note that Plaintiff filed this lawsuit in the Fort Pierce division of this District, where only one federal judge sits: Judge Aileen Cannon, who Plaintiff appointed in 2020. Despite the odds, this case landed with me instead. And when Plaintiff is a litigant before a judge that he himself appointed, he does not tend to advance these same sorts of bias concerns. See, e.g., Donald J. Trump v. Wisc. Elections Comm’n, No. 20-cv-1785 (E.D. Wis. 2020) (Judge Brett Ludwig); Donald J. Trump for President, Inc., et al., v. Sec. of Commonwealth of Pa., No. 20-cv-3371 (3d Cir. 2020) (Judge Stephanos Bibas); Comm. on Ways and Means, U.S. House of Representatives v. U.S. Dep’t of the Treasury, No. 19-cv-01974 (D.D.C. 2019) (Judge Trevor McFadden)."
