Democratic Party files suit alleging conspiracy by Trump campaign,

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 Trump’s campaign,” said DNC Chairman Tom Perez in a statement, calling the alleged collusion “an act of unprecedented treachery.”

The Dems must keep this Russia collusion story alive until the midterms in order to have a chance for their “blue wave.” Since Mueller has found nothing, this is the next venue for the Dems to do that, esp since there are so many leftist judges that will play along and allow this to proceed.

A pathetic bunch of sore losers.

I think they are just trying to muddy the water. They know more damaging reports and criminal referrals are going to be released by the IG in the near future. They have to draw attention away from that.

If the case goes forward, discovery is going to be lots of fun.

The DNC, Perez, Hillary Rotten Clinton and a whole host of others are totally corrupt, totally evil. HRC will burn in hell and she will feel it a lot worse than what she thinks she feels for losing the election because of her own inept campaigning. She is a lifetime loser.

Trump should seek disclosure of the cast of characters involved in the Steele Dossier. Goes both ways.

Discovery about the DNC server that the DNC would not allow the FBI to examine. The DNC only allowed a DNC-friendly company, Crowdstrike to examine the server. Also, discovery about Seth Rich, perhaps?

Anything that involves a DNC figure going to jail doesn’t pass the smell test. The DNC would not have filed this suit if they didn’t have all of that precluded from the start. Nobody is that stupid.

So the heads of the DNC are upset that there was a conspiracy and they were not included.

Since it’s filed in NY, the judge and jurors have already been pick and purchased. Piece of cake to win their case.

I guess Russia conspired with Trump to get the DNC and Hillary to cheat Bernie out of a nomination. I didn’t think this could get any weirder.
