It's another civil case.
Doesn't really mean anything
It did look too good to be true.
Interesting list of names though...

You used to post some of the most thought provoking threads on ATS.
This is just....drivel.
Partisan drivel, with zero fact checking.
This is about the best example of the post truth world as one can get.
Well done.

There's a benefit to this civil case that's being overlooked here. In a civil case you can subpoena a witness to testify and bring documents with them.
Once that's out in the open, regardless of the civil case outcome, that testimony and documents can be used for future court proceedings.
I don't know where you went to law school, but you can also subpoena witnesses in a criminal case. Look at Rule 45 in the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure or the state equivalent. You can also subpoena documents in a criminal case. It's called a subppoena duces tecum. The real difference is that any idiot can say anything and sue anyone in a civil case and summons will be issued. There is no filter in a civil case. A felony criminal case can only be filed with the concurrance of a group of citizens who decide, as a prerequisite to fiing, if there is merit to the allegations in the complaint. I could file a suit against Trump alleging that he was a lizard person and a summons would be issued. The real lizards could probably then win a suit against me for defamation.

I think you missed my point. I wasn't comparing civil cases vs. criminal cases. My post was in response to the idea that civil cases are essentially useless.

This appears to be a nothingburger. There is no indictment here.
