My "WTF?" of the day, Larry Klayman lawsuit division...

Any day now this idiot is going to be disbarred and banned from making lawsuits.
That day can't come soon enough.

Larry Klayman Is Suing Obama Because A Protester Yelled At Passengers At The Airport

By Kyle Mantyla | February 2, 2017 4:10 pm

Right-wing attorney Larry Klayman appeared on Steve Malzberg’s Newsmax program today to discuss the lawsuit he has filed against former President Obama for allegedly inciting a protestor opposed to President Trump’s ban on refugees and immigrants from several predominantly Muslim nations to “assault” him at Los Angeles International Airport over the weekend. That “assault” apparently consisted of carrying a sign and yelling at passengers.

“Someone with an Arabic accent, a female, charged at me and others in a very aggressive and provocative way,” Klayman said, “causing us fear of immediate bodily injury or death—that’s the standard for assault. She was obviously egged on by President Obama after he left office, in his private capacity, when he was giving a call to arms, in effect, to protesters to continue this mayhem and destruction.”

Obama was likewise responsible for the violent protest at Berkeley University last night, Klayman said.

Klayman insisted that his lawsuit “has great merit” and that he looks forward to proving that Obama “is responsible … for assaulting me Sunday evening.”

President Obama will do two things if this action is filed:

1. Immediately make a motion for dismissal, and
2. Immediately file his own action for frivolous litigation. Hello treble damages!

just because some idiot asshole with an agenda claims "fear of immediate bodily injury or death" doesn't mean a "reasonable person" would have that fear.
