A district judge on Tuesday evening tossed out a lawsuit alleging the Trump campaign conspired with the Russians and WikiLeaks to publish hacked Democratic National Committee (DNC) emails during the 2016 presidential race.

Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia dismissed the suit largely on the basis of jurisdiction, arguing the plaintiffs did not successfully tie the Trump campaign's actions to D.C.

"Campaign meetings, canvassing voters, and other regular business activities of a political campaign do not constitute activities related to the conspiracies alleged in the complaint," Huvelle wrote. "The same is true of the fact that the Trump Campaign’s foreign policy team was based in the District. Its mere presence here, without it undertaking overt acts in furtherance of the conspiracies, does not represent a suit-related contact."

The anti-Trump group Protect Democracy, which helped to file the suit dismissed Tuesday, said it may refile elsewhere. It is clear that the Court recognizes that there is sufficient evidence to suggest a conspiracy between the Trump Campaign and the Kremlin, but believes this case belongs in a different court, the group's director Ian Bassin said in a statement.

Liar. That isn't what the judge said at all. She said that a presence in D. C. didn't create a compelling evidence of complicity with the Russians. There had to be an overt act.

This is the stuff they teach you in Media Spin 101.

Using it successfully without getting caught, is taught in the more advanced class.

You're a wise one.

Thanks a little elbow grease.

I'd say the same thing back, but it couldn't be seen for anything other than gratuitous.

[DoughtyOne]

Gratuitous probably wasn’t the right word there.

I meant to say that returning the compliment could be seen as merely calling you smart for calling me smart.

Not a bad idea, but...

LOL

Frivolous, harassing, self serving, vexatious, not in the interests of justice.

“Protect Democracy”. ROTFL. Friggin’ liberals always trying to throw patriotism and God into their propaganda these days. What a crock.

Liberals are officially past tense. Even the “milleniums” are getting it.

I can't really tell how many, but judging by the bicycle, the little wagon, and the clothes, I'm guessing there are 48 on those flags.
