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.

"“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.

==========================================

You have a far better outlook for the left than I do.

In just the last 5 to 10 years, I've seen the left get crazier and crazier.

The fact that an unknown junior senator from IL with (at best) an unknown background named barack hussein obama a/k/a barry soetoro a/k/a soebarkah got elected...not once, but twice and then over 65 million people thought it a good idea to vote for hillary, with all that encompass, should speak volumes to where 50%+ of the population is at politically / culturally.

Sure they do. NY court, NY jury already picked and purchased, and civil guilty verdict easier to produce. It wouldn’t matter if it was all BS, it would give the media ammunition to continue the clamor for impeachment.

I hope you are correct.

I can’t tell for sure because I can’t read the entire article because I refuse to give money to the WaPo to get around their pay-wall.

The DNC who rigged their own primary are now suing the Republicans saying they rigged the election!

They lost the election they try to steal, and will never get over it!

I expect any rational judge will immediately throw this out. Suing three totally different actors in one lawsuit, based on wild totally improvable claims?

BRING IT, DNC HACKS!!!

Note: I'm NOT SORRY about all the SHOUTING I'm gonna dispense in this post...deal with it!

SERIOUSLY...

First, the Trumps and the other defendants should countersue HEAVILY. That's a start.

NEXT, EVERY person associated with the "Russian collusion" investigation must be deposed by the defense. That includes...
This is the MINIMUM list. There are probably two or three dozen others that need to be called, and yes... Barack Hussein Obama is DEFINITELY on the radar, though he does have a lot of executive privilege that he can most probably claim...BUT...just for now! If there are issues in which he can definitely be proved to have invoked direct collusion then he's FAIR GAME. But that's after all the depositions have been conducted.

If I were one of the John Does on this suit, I would make DAMN SURE than this suit does NOT GET DROPPED. Once you are sued, then they have the CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT to PREVENT THE SUIT FROM BEING DROPPED. I don't think the DNC thought this through, but I really wish Mark Levin would get involved in this. Keep in mind that EVERY NAME LISTED ABOVE can, AND SHOULD...be DEPOSED UNDER OATH!!

Uranium One, the Email Server, and if Hillary slips up during deposition, even Benghazi can be brought up!

STUPID, STUPID DNC... but if the RINO's bail they are fn traitors this time around...

By suing Trump, the DNC opened the door for the truth to be revealed (in court) about what happened to Seth Rich, where Wikileaks got the DNC emails from and the dirt on Hillary's campaign.

MOSTLY wrong. They ATTEMPTED to attack the RNC server, of which they were not successful. They were able to get a bunch of old email accounts belonging to Colin Powell and Lindsay Graham, and about 200 other inconsequential addresses, but for the most part the RNC servers were unhacked.

Even lib-hack SNOPES called the assertion that the RNC did NOT get hacked as “Mostly True.” http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2017/jan/11/donald-trump/trump-says-russians-were-unable-hack-republican-na/

How can a judge accept such a lawsuit?

That is not obscene. It is the backend of a horse. Merely representing the Demo Party

Geez....my mistake. It's my cataracts.

The Democrats will never die, too many never-Republicans that they will remain a major force.

Hillary had more popular votes than Trump, so she was liked by the general population.
