DNC serves WikiLeaks with lawsuit via Twitter
CBS News ^ | 10 August 2018 | Kathryn Watson

Posted on 08/10/2018 3:25:45 PM PDT by Magnatron

The Democratic National Committee on Friday officially served its lawsuit to WikiLeaks via Twitter, employing a rare method to serve its suit to the elusive group that has thus far been unresponsive.

As CBS News first reported last month, the DNC filed a motion with a federal court in Manhattan requesting permission to serve its complaint to WikiLeaks on Twitter, a platform the DNC argued the website uses regularly. The DNC filed a lawsuit in April against the Trump campaign, Russian government and WikiLeaks, alleging a massive conspiracy to tilt the 2016 election in Donald Trump's favor.

All of the DNC's attempts to serve the lawsuit via email failed, the DNC said in last month's motion to the judge, which was ultimately approved.

The lawsuit was served through a tweet from a Twitter account established Friday by Cohen Milstein, the law firm representing the DNC in the suit, with the intent of serving the lawsuit.

I wonder if discovery will include the DNC and Hillary campaign's possible murder of Seth Rich?

I wonder if such an action would reveal more trouble for the Dems? Kind of like what the 2016 Michigan vote recount began to do and that apparently made WJC feel uncomfortable.

Could Bush sue AP and CBS for trying to tilt the 2004 campaign with forged memos?

Wikileaks is not even a corporation as far as I know.

The Demons are doubling down. Good.

The US Post Office is the only valid method to send/serve papers other than in-person.

Well JA does not even have internet access.
It is rumored that Wikileaks twitter account was taken over by the CIA.

So the poor DNC does not have any prof of having served anything to Wikileaks. Try again.

Shhh!

Nothing was served to JA and Wikileaks; Just some DNC BS to their voters to agitate their BaSe.

WikiLeaks should make certain their connection to the Rich brothers gets included somehow, to expose the DNC.
