WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic Party filed suit against Russia, President Donald Trumps 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.

It's called a "subpoena," and defendants have a right to ALL relevant evidence that may help prove their innocence
“Anyone who is unwilling to accept the results of an election is a threat to democracy” - Hillary Clinton 2016
The funny part is, Trump trolled her into making that statement, by hinting that he wouldn’t necessarily support the winner if he thought the election was rigged.
She jumped on it and made that statement to try and shame him, assuming she would win, but when he won and she was a sore loser - she exposed as a hypocrite, to boot.
She should have known better - he had just done the exact same thing to all 16 of the Republican candidates. He makes noises about not ruling out a third party run if he lost the primary - when it came up in the debate he refused to pledge support to the winner while all 16 of the others took the bait and pledged, just to make him look bad. Then they looked like hypocrites for not supporting him when he won.
Now, I think by firing Comey and threatening to fire Mueller, he has done the exact same thing - trolled his enemies into pursuing this Russia witch hunt for over a year, knowing there’s nothing to find on him (because he didn’t do it).
What if he’s up to his old tricks? Force a deep investigation into government corruption so that when they find dirt on the real criminals - they have no choice but to indict - or they look like hypocrites or worse.
I sense a recurring theme here.
Trump is a clever guy
Any pot in a storm.
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!
Time for counter lawsuits for frivolous and defamation.
What sore losermans
Unprecedented? How soon they forget about Ted Kennedy’s trip to Moscow...
Candidate John Kerry’s “talking to foreign leaders”...
Obama’s Palestinians from overseas chipping into his campaign...
My concern is that they are filing it for political means and then when the Republicans respond with discovery, they will withdraw the suit so they don’t have to give up the things they’ve been hiding, but they can pound their loser base to say “See, we sued them, but they were mean, so we had to back down.”
I REALLY want to see what kinds of secrets and lies they have hidden on those servers.
