For $350, anyone can file anything in a federal court and call it whatever the fuck they want.

As an attorney, I am so sick of this kind of shit from all kinds of folks.

I'll bet you thought it was a really big deal when various birthers filed their bullshit papers in various courts a while back too.

This is a stunt filing for publicity purposes to mislead people who don't know how law works which, by the tenor of some of the crap posted here these days, is a pretty big bunch.

But private citizens filing bullshit with federal courts doesn't amount to criminal "charges" being filed against anyone with the actual ability to do so.

He seems to have some genuine progressive bonafides: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fundraiser

Here's an article on HuffPo about his report: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/584d5afde4b01713310511ad?timestamp=1481466765577

I hope he's legit and he is telling the truth about the charges. I am for anyone who is trying to block the inauguration of mango mussolini.

There is no civil claim for "treason" and whoever is filing this complaint has no more standing to bring it than the birthers had when they filed against Obama.

Folks need to stop chasing fantasies.
