Democratic Party files lawsuit alleging Russia, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks
Washington Post ^ | 4/20/2018 | Washington Post

Posted on 04/20/2018 8:15:32 AM PDT by Raebie

The Democratic National Committee filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit Friday against the Russian government, the Trump campaign and the WikiLeaks organization alleging a far-reaching conspiracy to disrupt the 2016 campaign and tilt the election to Donald Trump.

The complaint, filed in federal district court in Manhattan, alleges that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and help Trump by hacking the computer networks of the Democratic Party and disseminating stolen material found there.

“During the 2016 presidential campaign, Russia launched an all-out assault on our democracy, and it found a willing and active partner in Donald Trump’s campaign,” DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement.

“This constituted an act of unprecedented treachery: the campaign of a nominee for President of the United States in league with a hostile foreign power to bolster its own chance to win the presidency,” he said.

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 ...

Have you seen the markets today? it is a winning midterm issue if they can use it to cause uncertainty in the markets costing people millions.. then blame Trump for a recession.

All for show to keep the Russia narritive in the news. It will never go to trial.

“Not really ...”

Yes, really. They are courting extinction in either of two ways: their party dies out as sanity returns to some and they create a new party or they take control of the country ... and destroy it.

and the point of having it the news is what? Americans don’t care about Russia, wikileaks, or even Hillary anymore.. the point is to cause uncertainty in the markets and cause an economic downturn they can blame on Trump... that is their endgame. If this story goes away, and the economy booms... November will be a disaster for them.

1. This means they know the Muller cf is coming to a close, and shows nothing happened. And...
2. This keeps the collusion train to nowhere chugging along. And...
3. Will be used to keep funds flowing, for the DNC.

Hey, why don’t you make the same reply about 20 more times. I don’t think everyone got the message yet.

The discovery phase of this case is going to be the death knell for the Democrat party in America!

I for one WELCOME this case!

Another part of their continuous tantrum since her loss. They’ll never get over it, until a more radical leftist is elected.

PLUS we’re NOT a Democracy. We’re a “CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC”!! KILLS ME every time I hear it. Anyone else??

It's a sure-fire way to drive any lefty crazy, even educated ones: tell them the FACT that the United States is not a democracy. If that doesn't make them wig out, ask them what is democratic about a party that ignores the will of the party members and helps their chosen candidate cheat their way to the nomination.

The DNC needs this "Trump/Russia" collusion nonsense as fundraising bait. It's really that simple.

Once Mueller's team is out of business, they have to find other avenues to keep the fabricated story going.

"Yes, they are trying to vacate the election results. If they win the suit - they’ll press to delegitimize the election and demand Trump and the GOP stand down for stealing the election."

Again, no. They filed a civil suit. It doesn't matter what demand they may also make outside of the suit. They can demand those things without suing. And demands are just demands. I can demand they give me a million dollars but it isn't going to happen.

It's a lawsuit not a civil war. Chill.

President Trump is an alien from outer space.
How else can his 2016 victory be explained?
Yes, it's just possible. He may be an alien from
another planet. A lawsuit and another special
prosecutor are needed now!

Is this preposterous lawsuit really worthy of a Drudge banner with a smiling Hilary picture?

Filed against the Russian Government.

Hope they awoke and pissed off a sleeping bear!
