In a 36-page ruling Wednesday, an Atlanta-based federal appeals court panel unanimously affirmed that Trump and his lawyer had committed “sanctionable conduct” in filing a “frivolous” lawsuit against Hillary Clinton and former FBI Director James Comey.

“Many of Trump’s and Habba’s legal arguments were indeed frivolous,” wrote Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge William Pryor Jr., meaning that the claims were fictitious and likely intended to harass, delay, or embarrass the defendants. Pryor was joined by Trump appointee Andrew Brasher and Biden appointee Embry Kidd.

Yeah, good luck with that. Trump is famous for lines like, "The check is in the mail" and "I won't come in your child".

If it was in the interest of justice, the victims would get to request jail time in lieu of fines because those aren't actual punishment for oligarchs

Fines should be proportional to the wealth of the target.
