Donald Trump had sued Hillary Clinton, the Democratic National Committee and many others, accusing them of conspiring to spread a false narrative about him and Russia.
The judge said that Trump wanted to flaunt a two-hundred page political manifesto detailing his grievances against those that have opposed him.
Middlebrooks wrote that the former president's claims were foreclosed by binding precedent.
In March, Trump filed a lawsuit seeking tens of millions of dollars in damages for violating the RICO Act, a federal law intended to combat organized crime. It came more than five years after Trump defeated Clinton in a vicious and scandal-laden presidential campaign where Trump's relationship with Russia was a major focus.
The defendants are accused of working to create false or misleading evidence about Trump and Russia. The defendants include Clinton, the DNC, John Podesta, the law firm Perkins Coie, and others.
According to Trump, the defendants have caused him at least $24 million in damages. He wanted to triple the amount of damages.
Middlebrooks wrote in Thursday's order that many of the amended complaint's characterizations are implausible because they lack any specific allegations.
He wrote that the amended complaint lacks substance and legal support and seeks to substitute with length, hyperbole and the settlement of scores and grievances.
The judge agreed with the defendants that Trump's lawsuit was a series of disconnected political disputes that he believed to have hurt him.
Habba said that Trump's legal team would immediately move to appeal the decision. Habba said that the order wasrife with incorrect applications of the law and ignored numerous governmental investigations which substantiated Trump's claims.
There was insufficient evidence to prove that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russians in the election.
One of the many things Trump has said about the investigation is that it is a witch hunt.
