WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic Party filed suit against Russia, President Donald Trump’s campaign and WikiLeaks on Friday, charging that they conspired to disrupt the 2016 U.S. presidential election campaign, a court filing showed.

The party alleges in the federal lawsuit in Manhattan that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and tilt the election to Trump by hacking Democratic Party computers, the filing showed.

The radicals have taken over the party and fail yet again to understand the law of unintened consequences.

The Washington Post website has the story on its main page.

Apparently, it is a real story.

Just remember, the DNC, HRC campaign and the Obama administration conspired to hide payments to a foreign national who worked with members of the Russian government to compose a document used to smear candidate and then duly elected Trump.

This from the party that colluded to make Hillary the nominee over Bernie. And from the party that colluded with the IRS to influence the 2012 election. And from the party that colluded to influence the Israel election.
When Doc Holiday said, “It appears my hypocrisy knows no bounds”, it was endearing. It was genuine. These people truly don’t realize their own hypocrisy. It’s boundless. It’s delusional. It’s pathetic. It’s typical.
I love how much Trump has gotten under their skin. He’s in their heads so bad he owns mental real estate there. They never can quite get Trump out of their minds and off their tongues. They see him in their dreams and nightmares. What a depressingly miserable existence that’s got to be. Like being sick all the time.

And they’re filing suit in NY, a state they actually won overwhelmingly.

Great point, Trump should counter-sue under the same theory

Exactly the way to confront these lefties.

Although, common sense is not even taught or exemplified, any more....so, they’ve become mind-numbed to that :(

I am not a lawyer, but I think there is a rule that says if the Trump campaign (or any of the defendants) countersues, then the DNC cannot withdraw their original suit until the “countersuer” agrees to drop the whole thing.

That means this could live as long as the Trump folks keep finding out good stuff during discovery. And the DNC cannot throw in the towel to stop the flow of incriminating discovery.

The DNC isn’t the only nutty one.

“They were never going to let me be president.”

Spoken by the woman that had the Democratic Party and its superdelegates under her thumb.

What other nation is the Deep State pushing Trump to bomb in order to call off their attacks on him?

That is what I was thinking. Trump should hire Judicial Watch to be his legal team.
