Dismissed due to being out of jurisdiction for that specific court it seems.
Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed the suit largely on the basis of jurisdiction, arguing the plaintiffs did not successfully tie the Trump campaign's
actions to D.C.
"Campaign meetings, canvassing voters, and other regular business activities of a political campaign do not constitute activities related to the conspiracies alleged in the complaint," Huvelle wrote. "The same is
true of the fact that the Trump Campaign’s foreign policy team was based in the District. Its mere presence here, without it undertaking overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracies, does not represent a s
uit-related contact."
Huvelle did not take an official position on the merit of the suit's claims.
"It bears emphasizing that this Court’s ruling is not based on a finding that there was no collusion between defendants and Russia during the 2016 presidential election," she wrote. "This is the wrong forum
for plaintiffs’ lawsuit. The Court takes no position on the merits of plaintiffs’ claims."
Protect Democracy, the watchdog group that filed the lawsuit, suggested that it would re-file the case elsewhere.
"We will consider our options and will continue to fight to ensure that our clients get the justice they deserve and that the Trump Campaign and its associates will be held accountable for their actions," Ian Bassin,
the group's executive director, said following the judge's decision.
that shit eating grin makes me instantly angry every fucking time I see it.
technically it's not a grin unless the teeth are showing, though shit eating smile probably counts better
You think Trump and co will care about trivial details like that?
OH WAIT!
