Trump cites Judge Cannon's dismantling of Mar-a-Lago case to seek $100M in damages from DOJ

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

36% : "In alleging damages to Trump, the tort claim memo said that the DOJ and FBI's "oppression, wantonness, and reckless disregard of President Trump's rights" in his case caused him "actual harm" to the tune of $15 million in legal bills, tacking on to the "legal costs of over $60 million per year since shortly after he left office," according to a footnote at the end of the filing.
35% : Nevertheless, as the DOJ-authorized appeal of the dismissal remains pending, Trump assigns blame to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray for engaging in "clear dereliction of constitutional principles, inconsistent standards as applied to the prospective plaintiff, and a clear intent to engage in political persecution" by pushing ahead with the Mar-a-Lago search without his "consent.
21% : A memo attached to a notice of a Trump claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act (FTCA) claim filed by attorney Daniel Z. Epstein, alleges the "tortious acts against the President are rooted in intrusion upon seclusion, malicious prosecution, and abuse of process" stemming from the Mar-a-Lago search, describing that as "highly offensive to a reasonable person."Notably, before the Trump-appointed jurist jettisoned the case, Cannon wrote that Trump had not "meaningfully challenge[d]" probable cause and alleged warrant "omissions," and her subsequent dismissal of the Espionage Act indictment on Appointment Clause grounds meant that Trump's motion to dismiss on grounds of selective or vindictive prosecution was rejected as moot (i.e., was never decided on the merits) along with other pending motions.
