The parents of two Americans killed in the 2012 terrorist attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Benghazi, Libya, filed a wrongful death lawsuit in federal court Monday against Hillary Clinton.

In the suit, Patricia Smith and Charles Woods, the parents of Sean Smith and Tyrone Woods, claim that Clinton's use of a private e-mail server contributed to the attacks. They also accuse her of defaming them in public statements.

Did someone on this forum help with this suit?

Larry Klayman filed the suit...lol! The same guy who is so sue happy that he sued his Mom. He's a Sovereign Citizen supporter and generally an all-around nutjob.

Defcon 1! Trump is losing by double digits! Launch all diversion countermeasures!

Where's the part where the ghost of Vince Foster was the hacker and something something White Water?

Imaginative, highly motivational for the base nutjobs, a +5 on the distractometer and complete plausible deniability by the Trump camp. Nice job there Reince.

I can't wait for more of the same to add to my burgeoning "Cool Repub Underhanded Backstabbing Tactics" scrapbook.

It's going to look really good on the bookshelf next to my "Swiftboat Veterans for Truthy Accusations" reference manual.

It's their right to sue, just as it's the right of clock boy's family to sue. The system will decide the merits of each case. Interesting times...

It isn't too far fetched when it comes to sensitive intelligence material. If a server containing emails about troop deployments, security issues that needed to be addressed/fixed, etc is hacked and that information is used to carry out successful attached, then yes an e-mail server can contribute to deaths.

However, in this case, it appears to just be hogwash. I doubt Hillary's server contained anything this classified or damaging.

Lol.

This is a lawsuit from the same guy who sued Obama for, and I shit you not, purposefully allowing Ebola into the US in order to infect white people and Jews. He also recently sued Obama for supposedly inciting a race war.

The guy is either playing off stupid people for publicity and money or he is mentally ill.

Yup, the problem with that logic is that the nutbobs are already voting Trump, so they cant pick up votes from it ;)

The narrative from the right fringe has to be continuous. Having built a certain level of irrationality it's better to maintain it than to let the fevered minds of the faithful cool down at all. It's not just about Trump but about keeping the faithful in the pews long term.

"What was I thinking?" is a question that can only be asked from a cooler perspective. Guys like Klayman are on guard to prevent that.

Thanks for the knee-jerk reaction, son. I was only stating the two as both topics are active in the forum. Other than that coinkidink, what I said is perfectly valid.

I doubt this is the first time some relative has sued the government or a politician over death in a war.
Or death while serving ones country as... whatever.
No doubt Richard Nixon was sued by a parent of a fallen soldier in Vietnam.
And no doubt LBJ was sued.
And George McGovern sued because he failed to win the presidency 1972, thus failed to stop the Vietnam war, and thus a soldier died in Vietnam under president Richard Nixon because if McGovern had done it right and been successful and stopped that war, then some parents son would still be alive.
Or whatever....

This lawsuit is just another joke by I guess republicans that want Donald Trump as president?
Or some republican that does not want Hillary, and doesn't know what the hell they want for president?
Trump? Sanders? Putin?
If I were suing, I would instead sue CISCO for manufacturing the servers in the first place.
Or is it Crisco, because someone is getting a lube job.
Or sue Microsoft for inventing the Email. Microsoft, or whomever...???
Or sue Amazon.com for selling those low priced and affordable ethernet cables.
Can't do the internet with a server without an ethernet cable.
Hell... sue Al Gore. Didn't he mention he invented the internet?
SHit.... THATS IT!!! Sue Gore.
There you go. Gore's the SOB that needs to be sued.

What does the one have to do with the other, beside the fact that both are active topics on a discussion forum? And why would that one thing in common warrant bringing up one in a thread about the other?

I'm going with emperus reaction here. It seems like yet another attempt at deflection through false equivalency.

Has anyone missed the important point in regards to the other thread about the Khans?

Hillary has not said shit, she hasn't belittled the mother or called her insane or brought up their families finances and who is paying or said that her Benghazi Moms religion makes her do something silly.

I agree. IMHO both lawsuits are complete jokes. They serve as a blatant reminder of the inanity of much of our legal system. It could do a significantly better job of detecting and removing frivolous lawsuits.

In all fairness this clown has been repeatedly sanctioned for filing frivolous lawsuits. It's cost him a fair bit of money. It does seem that maybe he should have lost his law license by now though.

Lots of lawsuits are already thrown out for being without merit. It's just not as widely reported as when someone files a lawsuit. But I'm sure many groups would gladly line up to push for raising the barrier for lawsuits further, since it would protect themselves from lawsuits they like to publicly label as 'frivolous' (even when they have genuine merit).

Yes, the system will decide the merits of each case, but frivolous suits aren't protected.

True, but the overburdened system can't dump them as fast as the Larry Klaymans can file them. Blatantly frivolous politically motivated suits like this need to be more strongly sanctioned by the courts. That won't happen as often as it needs to be simply because of the good old boy nature of lawyering.

I brought it up here because I read this thread after the other one; otherwise I'd have posted there. Sorry to burst your bubble. Frankly I doubt either suit will succeed; for different reasons because they are obviously NOT equivalent.

What does the one have to do with the other, beside the fact that both are active topics on a discussion forum? And why would that one thing in common warrant bringing up one in a thread about the other?
