WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic Party filed suit against Russia, President Donald Trump’s campaign and WikiLeaks on Friday, charging that they conspired to disrupt the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign, a court filing showed.

The party alleges in the federal lawsuit in Manhattan that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and tilt the election to Trump by hacking Democratic Party computers, the filing showed.

The Democrats are serious as a heart attack about this suit, so they do not believe it to be a joke.

It merely makes them look hysterical and a little stupid. And if they were not so dangerous, they would be as funny as all get out.

But what was Trump to do - Concede the election preemptively? Hell of a way to run a railroad.

As for the Russians, it was very much in their interests that Herself should have WON the election, so why would they be working against her campaign?

And Wikileaks moves obliquely across the board, like the Bishop in the game of chess, not answering to anything except what appears to be largely their own whim.

The ignorance of the populace, not necessarily the citizens of the U.S., including, but not limited to elected criminals is now beyond description.

Although not exactly a parallel to the 70s and 80s, the status of Russia as known to be then as depicted in the novel by Nelson DeMille, The Charm School, is close enough not to matter. After re-reading it in the last few days, it is certainly informative and educational.

All I can say about this "report" is what the most probable response by Russia to this headline is likely to be :

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! **CHOKE**

Big mistake by the DNC. Wikileaks + discovery phase could very well split their party in two.

What is hilarious here is how the DNC will have to use Mueller as their key witness.

"Now Mr. Mueller; will you please tell the Court of all the instances of collusion you've uncovered in your year long investigation?

crickets....

So, since Mueller and his minions have found no evidence, the Dems go to a sympathetic NY court where things like evidence are relatively inconsequential as compared to political ideology.

DNC seems really determined to convert a potential Blue Wave into a certain Red Surge.

Maybe Trump needs to sue the Democrats for uniting the DOJ, the FBI, the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN, Hollywood for trying to throw an election.

Yes, my first thought too - they know Mueller has nothing and is about done, time for them to start a new fire.

The financially broke DNC probably has some quid pro qou arrangements with a Team of Volunteer Scumbag lawyers.

The objective is to keep the false narritive in the News cycle for the next 7 months and drian as much cash as possible from Trump PAC groups / RNC defending themselves.

Barack Obama is not a natural born citizen.

Children of foreign nationals born with multiple nationalities are not naturally Americans.

It’s like all the nuisance lawsuits they are targeting Infowars with. Meant to distract, wear down, dilute resources and focus, etc.—while tossing out talking points to the complicit MSM.

Hahaha Donna Brazil is probably $hitting herself. She is thinking “Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!”

Donna and her book will be exhibit 1 for the defense.

the sole purpose of this meritless lawsuit is to give the leftist fake stream media a hook to keep the words “Trump”, “Russia”, “WikiLeaks” & “collusion” in the same headline for years. they know the mueller investigation is going to no-bill Trump himself very shortly, so they need a replacement hook ...
