The Democratic Party on Friday filed a multimillion-dollar federal lawsuit against Trump campaign officials, the Russian government and WikiLeaks alleging a widespread conspiracy to tilt the 2016 election in Donald Trump's favor.
Calling it an all-out assault on our democracy, the Democratic National Committee filed the civil suit in federal district court in Manhattan. The suit amounts to another legal broadside related to the 2016 race, on top of the special counsel's ongoing Russia probe and the FBI raid on Trump's personal attorney last week.
"The conspiracy constituted an act of previously unimaginable treachery: the campaign of the presidential nominee of a major party in league with a hostile foreign power to bolster its own chance to win the Presidency," the suit states.
It claims that Trump campaign officials worked in tandem with the Russian government and its military spy agency to bring down Hillary Clinton by hacking into the computer networks of the DNC and spreading stolen material.
During the 2016 presidential campaign, Russia launched an all-out assault on our democracy, and it found a willing and active partner in Donald Trumps campaign, said DNC Chairman Tom Perez in a statement, calling the alleged collusion an act of unprecedented treachery.

Don't let the democrats pick the venue.
The Republican National Committee should file their own lawsuit against the Clinton campaign in a friendlier state like Texas.
The Clinton campaign hired a foreign agent to collect fake dirt on Trump from Russian agents. Can you imagine an alternate universe where the Trump campaign had done something like that?
The truth hurts, eh Tom?
can’t meet the legal burden for crime, so they go civil suit route-— & are expert at finding a friendly court with very friendly partisan judges who might or might not get special gifts for their aid & comfort in rigging the decision for Democrats.
They want the news tobe full of this in time for the midterms. They will gat a friendly judge and probably be able to handpick the jury, at least for probables. They will probably win in the first court and lose on appeal but the goal will have been obtained i.e.keep this suit in the public eye for the entie election season while the MSM treats it as open and shut for the Democrats.
Good point. Perhaps the RNC could countersue and get loads of ‘discovery’ info.
African servals are small, slender cats with long legs, a lean body, a short tail, and a small head. Their extra-long neck and legs give them the nickname "giraffe cat. Serval people are like maybe Reptilians?
The folks over at DU think this is a great move. Idiots.

A “widespread conspiracy “
Wow, they (dnc media) finally figured out that collusion wasn’t a crime. Took a while.
Will be interesting if the court grants standing to somebody in the dnc. Who? Discovery should be fun.

This is nothing but more of the same from the extremely tired, and worn out playbook of the Democrat party.
They are trying to throw off onto the Trump campaign, and using the others as dressing to divert attention from that which they themselves are guilty of during the last election cycle.
What they are accusing the Trump etc. campaign of is what they actually did. It’s so Democrat. It’s what they always do.
Too funny.... This only goes to prove that Mueller’s investigation is going nowhere and will amount to nothing and that’s likely to happen sooner, rather than later.
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 ...
Are those loons still around?
After she lost, Hillary lashed out at the DNC b/c she had to finance DNC's campaign for her......
The DNC couldnt pony up, b/c the "party of the people" was broke.
Shoo-in Hillary had everything going for her:
(a) she was obsessively covered by a fawning media,
(b) everyone was primed and eager to expose any dirty tricks against their candidate,
(c) Hillary bragged foreign leaders (donors to The Clinton Foundation) backed her candidacy.
(d) Her $1.5 billion campaign literally circled the globe.
SO PONDER THIS:
<><> Obama didnt notice with PDBs and top intel at his fingertips that Russia was doing her in?
<><> fawning journos with foreign counterparts did not unearth the Russia plot against Hillary?
<><> smart cookie Hillary did not notice?
<><> her huge campaign apparat did not notice?
<><> her foreign donors did not notice Russians were openly working against her?
Hillary talks a lot about misogyny-sounds more like myopia to me.
===================================
Pres Trump wonders why the Obama administration isnt under investigation in the Russian meddling plot against Hillary.
Good point, Pres Don.
<><> The DNC NEVER asked Obama for assitance? <><>Obama was desperate to have Hillary carry out his third term. You'd think he'd help the DNC.
<><> Obama was never on the lookout for damaging info against Hillary?
<><> It is next to unbelievable that Obama's PDBs didnt ferret out this info...or were the PDB's falsified?
<><> just for the asking, Obama had sophisticated intel at his fingertips to give to the DNC.
<><> Obama and his indefatigable NSA snooper, Susan Rice, were rifling through tons of top secret intel 24/7.
Somebody should ask Susan Rice if her incessant "unmasking" didnt unearth a few clues about the Russian offensive against Hillary.
And if she did, ..why she didnt tell the DNC about it.
A pathetic bunch of sore losers.
Good luck with that...
They DO NOT get the fact that THEY are the ones we are so against... and everything they do trying to make us hate Trump, they lose more of us out here. IF there are some who held their nose and voted for Trump, they will vote for him again and be glad to do anything against what the deep state has been doing. Every attack aimed at Trump, is aimed at us also.. and that is not the way to change minds... they are dividing the nation.. wide... they do not get it at all!
