"Eight days. That's how long it took the Eleventh Circuit to dropkick Donald Trump's bid to resuscitate his RICO trollsuit against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, James Comey, and some two dozen other defendants. After oral argument on November 18th, the appeals court needed just over a week to announce their holding: YOUR SUIT IS GARBAGE AND YOUR LAWYERS SHOULD FEEL BAD."
"The average time between oral argument and a written decision is 76 days across all federal circuits and a whopping 129 days in the Eleventh. An opinion rendered in a mere eight days is a loud signal that the federal courts in Florida will not be fertile ground for Trump's campaign of extortionate lawfare. It's also a message to his lawyers that hundreds of pages of screaming invective which ignores the circuit's procedural pleading requirements will be swiftly booted."
An appeals court dismissed a civil RICO suit filed by former President Donald Trump against Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, James Comey, and others within eight days after oral argument. The court's rapid decision sharply contrasted with average appellate timelines of 76 days nationally and 129 days in the Eleventh Circuit. The complaint, filed in March 2022 by Alina Habba with Florida counsel Peter Ticktin, ran 108 pages and alleged a wide racketeering conspiracy tied to the Steele dossier and the Russia investigation. The pleading was procedurally defective and was summarily rejected by the court.
