Clinton knocks Trump for 'improbably' tying her to Comey in Russiagate lawsuit

Hillary Clinton is pushing back at a lawsuit filed against her and others regarding the so-called Russiagate controversy in a motion to dismiss filed by her and other allies last week.

Clinton alleged in the motion that she has been "improbably" tied to former FBI Director James Comey and that the lawsuit filed by former President Donald Trump's legal team is "swollen with eighty pages of irrelevant allegations," according to the filing.

Trump filed his lawsuit late last month, alleging a conspiracy to create a "false narrative" tying his 2016 campaign to Russia. The new motion said the ties between the people being sued are only because they are enemies of Trump. "All that links these disparate people and events is Plantiff’s antipathy toward them," the filing said. "This is a President who doesn't just list enemies: he sues them."

Clinton has been critical of Comey for his handling of an FBI investigation into her unauthorized email server during her time as secretary of state in the heat of the 2016 presidential election, during which she was a candidate, and even has placed blame on him for her defeat to Trump.

string of whistleblowers within the FBI allege that the bureau and the Department of Justice have selectively observed federal guidelines, launching investigations into conservative-aligned figures without sufficient basis to do so.

In a Monday press release from Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Chuck Grassley, the Iowa Republican highlighted whistleblower accusations that "Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy Thibault disregarded agency guidelines requiring substantial factual predication to trigger investigations."

Grassley's office noted that Thibault played a pivotal role in opening an investigation into the Trump campaign using information from a
"left-aligned organization" and that he whitewashed the source's biases to coax approval for an investigation from FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland...
