Even liberals are admitting that it sounds nutty. Of course that’s because it is. This is a hard sell for the constituents of a broke party. “Oh yeah, I’ll donate $50 so a bunch of hack lawyers can carry out a pathetic publicity stunt.”
But as for the reason, I disagree about the money thing.
Most fundraising is from big donors, not the $50 crowd.
I read that the democRAT donors were keeping their checkbooks closed until they are assured that the DNC will keep going after Trump. They want him unseated. Impeached. That's where they're willing to put their money. To get rid of Trump.
IOW, the big money liberals are the driving force behind the lawsuit. Since the Mueller fishing trip is only catching minnows and the congressional hearings backfired in their faces, the democRATS only have the lawsuit to keep going after Trump for colluding with the Russians story. Everyone else has given up on it.
This lawsuit appeases the donors to open their wallets. The DNC is broke.
Someone should get a pool going to guess how long this lawsuit stays alive before the requests from the defendants for discovery forces Perez to withdraw it.
Good publicity stunt for the donors and their base but no adult believes this lawsuit is viable.
