Thanks very much for posting the link to the court filing by Donald Trump for President, Inc.

Here is the court filing you linked to (without the redirection through another Free Republic thread and a True Pundit Link and a Twitter Post):

MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES IN SUPPORT OF DEFENDANT DONALD J. TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT, INC.’S MOTION TO DISMISS COUNTS II, III, IV, VIII, XII, AND XIV OF THE SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT

The document is 151 pages long (but because of the way legal docs are formatted might be 50 pages in a book). From the Introduction, on page 11:

INTRODUCTION

In this case, the Democratic National Committee (“DNC”) seeks to litigate and explain away its candidate’s defeat in the 2016 presidential election. The DNC thus alleges—unburdened by any actual facts—that President Trump’s campaign (Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; “the Campaign”) conspired with Russia and a hodgepodge of others to publish materials stolen from the DNC’s computer systems.

But the DNC does not claim the Campaign had any role in hacking its systems and stealing the materials—it attributes that only to Russia.

Nor does the DNC claim the Campaign played any part in publishing the stolen materials—it attributes that only to Russia and WikiLeaks. Instead, the DNC predicates its claims against the Campaign exclusively on allegations that: (1) the Campaign received advance notice of some disclosures; and (2) after disclosures occurred, the Campaign made political use of the revealed information and publicly encouraged additional disclosures.

There are many problems with the DNC’s politically motivated lawsuit.

It threatens to unleash discovery that would interfere with the President’s “vast and important” responsibilities, which require “his undivided time and attention.” Clinton v. Jones, 520 U.S. 681, 697 (1997).

It expressly challenges policy decisions the President has made, like the decision to withdraw troops from Syria.

And it would inevitably collide with the various investigations (and at least one pending prosecution) relating to alleged collusion between Russia and Americans during the 2016 campaign. Fortunately, the DNC’s partisan effort to drag the Court into a political thicket already occupied by Congress and Special Counsel Robert Mueller is legally meritless, and so must be dismissed.
