It’s not the same thing. He is suing the city of Chicago for “malicious prosecution”. As part of that lawsuit, the city must attempt to show that the prosecution was not malicious.

That’s different than stating that you would like to browse through someone’s history for the purpose of finding crimes where they may not exist.

What? They're collecting evidence post facto to argue whether the previous prosecution was malicious or not?

He's being sued by the city for the costs of the hate crime investigation.

He's counter-suing for malicious prosecution.
