Judge dismisses DNC hacking lawsuit against Trump, says claims entirely divorced from the facts
Fox ^ | 7-30-2019 | Gregg Re

Posted on 07/30/2019 3:18:24 PM PDT by tcrlaf

A federal judge in frank terms has dismissed a lawsuit by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) against key members of the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks over hacked DNC documents, saying they "did not participate in any wrongdoing in obtaining the materials in the first place" and therefore bore no legal liability for disseminating the information.

The ruling came as Democrats have increasingly sought to tie the Trump team to illegal activity in Russia, in spite of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's findings that the campaign in fact refused multiple offers by Russians to involve them in hacking and disinformation efforts.

The DNC asserted in court filings that the Trump team's meetings "with persons connected to the Russian government during the time that the Russian GRU agents were stealing the DNC's information" were "circumstantial evidence" that they were conspiring with the Russians to "steal and disseminate the DNC's materials."

But this got hours of media coverage, and thousands of story headlines, so for Dems, that is considered a win. Does not matter if any of it was true or not.

"The Russian GRU agents were stealing the DNC's information"

What a crock... The Russian's didn't have to steal anything, Hillary was giving it to them through her bathroom server...

The Russian thing is just a canard to set up a straw man argument when they had nothing to do with Shillary getting whipped.

Need proof, how might even posting a few Facebook ads steer over 60 million American votes away from her?

Looking forward to responses to this basic question

Oh, and BTW, there is no single Voting System that spans the country they could “hack” into and do this, so please do not go there

Waiting...

Hillary Clinton has not been exonerated from involvement in a conspiracy to kill Seth Rich.

"... Russian GRU agents were stealing the DNC's information"

Julian Assange unequivocally stated that "it did not come from any state actor."

I wrote to Guinness book of world records last January asking if they would consider Democrats reaction to Trump winning the election the longest cry baby tantrum on record and they never got back to me. This is not a joke, I actually did write them. After reading this article I see I’m going to have to write to them again.

Evidence is not that important due to the seriousness of the accusations

Just consider how insanely incompetent the GRU would have to be to have not penetrated her server.

Which was the entire point of the lawsuit - it was a publicity stunt to create an opportunity for billions of free in kind campaign ads for the DNC by the media.

This ruling got scant coverage if any at all on most networks - which is an act of lying by omission. Not reporting this after their extensive reporting of the mere filing of the lawsuit is an act of deliberately misinforming viewers, readers, and listeners of their "news."
