DNC sues Russia, Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, alleging conspiracy

BY AVERY ANAPOL - 04/20/18 11:10 AM EDT/THE HILL

The Democratic National Committee is suing the Russian government, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, alleging that the three entities conspired to help President Trump win the 2016 election.

The Washington Post reported Friday that the DNC filed the multi-million dollar lawsuit in federal district court in Manhattan.

“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."

The suit comes months after special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian groups in his investigation on charges related to interference in the election.

1. K AND R Hint-For maximum exposure include the title.

Have a great day.

[bigtree]

10. too many of those asterisks of yours

...stretch my page view so far that I lose my view of # of recs or views... forcing me to hide many of your BN posts.

A couple go a long way.

14. Re-posted this link in Editorials also..No One Should Miss This.

Burn Trump

[triron]

23. Agree totally. Not getting the attention it should.

[pangaia]

39. I heard it on NPR news just a while ago..

[Eliot Rosewater]

26. And the day we stop saying "about time" when related to Democratic politicians

actions will be a great day.

Every "about time" hinders new voters from voting.

I might myself be guilty of saying it once or twice, if I am I will also stop saying it.

[Cha]

49. I hear ya, Eliot.. I'm sure the DNC and their Lawyers had to

get a shite load of Evidence and Proof together to sue all these damn RFs.

More Power to the DNC!

[dalton99a]

2. Indeed.

[Wwcd]

3. K & R Thank you for posting

[DURHAM D]

4. Go Dems !!!

The suit names as defendants several Trump campaign aides who met with Russian nationals during the campaign, including campaign chair Paul Manafort and Trump campaign deputy Rick Gates, both of whom have since been charged in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling.

The DNC lawsuit also names Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., son-in-law and White House adviser Jared Kushner and on-and-off Trump confidante Roger Stone.

5. Treachery. indeed.

And the best thing to get Trump's attention is a lawsuit.
He's gonna get it from every direction and discovery will
be a thing of beauty.

[malaise]

6. Great news

Rec

7. Namin names!:

11. +1

[Wwcd]

16. Middle finger to You Julian Assange !

[BoneyardDem]

25. GRUGuccifer 2.0? I did not know this

all this time I did not equate the two. Maybe I'm just ill read?

[FakeNoose]

38. Guccifer 2.0 is the Russian who hacked Podesta's emails

He gave them to Wikileaks (Assange) to release whenever was the best time. So those two assholes were working together. If it weren't for them, Hillary would probably be POTUS now.

[pangaia]

40. May I ask why trump's name is not there?

Some good legal reason, I am sure.

[denbot]

46. Shine a bright light on those assholes

K&R

[R B Garr]

8. KnR!

[Generic Brad]

9. Trump needs more lawyers

He is so obviously guilty and toxic he will have trouble securing adequate legal representation.

[pangaia]

41. He has Guilliani.. All is good.

[4139]

12. Cool!!!

[fleur-de-lisa]

13. Wow! This is fantastic!

[Oneironaut]

15. Good. Time to push back against these traitors.

I don’t use the term lightly, and it’s not all Republicans. However, the Trump administration is full of traitors. They sought our enemy’s help to win the election. They served Russia’s agenda.

There needs to be consequences. This is a good start.

[mainer]

17. Any opinions here from DU lawyers about the likelihood of success?

I have no idea.

[LeftInTX]

18. Same here....

Can the DNC even sue a foreign entity?

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. I would expect a very limited chance for success,

if you define "success" as a monetary or in-kind award or settlement at the end of it all. But, having the power of discovery and a certain amount of media attention may well prove to be a big W, even if the suit is withdrawn at some point.

[spanone]

20. K&R...

THANK YOU SummerSnow

[KY_EnviroGuy]

21. K&R. Wow, what a complaint!

I wonder who will fund this suit and what the desired redress will be.

....... ..........

[Liberalhammer]

22. Keeping the Traitors

To bleed money and be on the defensive is a good plan and get the conspiracy more PR is a good move.

Attack the un American at all angles.

[politicaljunkie41910]

24. I hope they will eventually get a judgment that will leave the Trumps penniless.

[kimbutgar]

27. Unfortunately cable news is talking the Comey memos not this lawsuit

[triron]

29. Give it time.

[Turbineguy]

28. Millions?

Should be trillions.

[Xolodno]

30. Clever....civil suit.

So if Dump does follow through and fires Mueller, he can't stop the lawsuits. He can't stop the Cohen investigation, the inevitable state investigations if he should fire Mueller and now, the civil lawsuits will also pick it up. He has no moves left.

Check Mate.

[Justice]

31. Exactly. Between this suit and McCabe - assuring that truth will come out.

[Jake Stern]

32. Pray the Dems win

Because if they lose or the suit gets tossed out you know the media will loudly trumpet that Trump was "exonerated" and anything done after that will appear like a political witch hunt.

[Pepsidog]

33. I would love be a lawyer for Plaintiff in this case, its gonna be a lot of fun

[hotrod0808]

34. It worked

against CREEP, it can work here.

[Pepsidog]

35. Check out the list of cause of actions on the right:RICO, Computer Crimes etc

They through everything except the kitchen sink at the grifters.

[Pepsidog]

36. They seemed to have missed the RNC as a Defendant. They were complicit

[oxbow]

37. Theyre being buried alive in lawsuits

Just today, we have this and McCabe. Then, the 3-4 women (I can’t keep track) suing for defamation or to break their NDA’s. Emoluments, various federal and state charges related to Russia, and more I’m forgetting right now...

They already have trouble getting any decent lawyers to rep them...No doubt, there are others out there who have been hurt by the Don’s organization. It’s time for those people to step forward now, when his resources are being spread thin enough that he can’t bully his way through everything.

[poboy2]

43. Kind of poetic. Lawsuits is how DontheCon rolls. BURY their asses. -nt

[Tatiana]

54. Death by a thousand cuts is a solid strategy.

We need to use every weapon at our disposal to bring down this criminal enterprise.

[sheshe2]

42. K&R

[yortsed snacilbuper]

44. Kick

[YOHABLO]

45. Just one of many law suits that are in queue for Trump admin.

[SergeStorms]

47. Our illegitimate "president".

In a just world, the moment this election was found to be influenced by the Russians, it would have been considered null and void. The second it was discovered that TrumpCo. was involved with the Russians his candidacy would have been disallowed, and the next Republican in line - according to the primaries - would run against Hillary in the re-election. There would be no advertising, no campaigning, just another election. Some may think that punitive to the GOP, but fuck them. They knew, or should have known that something was rotten in the first place.

That would be in a just world. In our world we get a fucking orange, narcissistic lunatic running our country.

[triron]

51. Our founding father's were shortsighted.

[SergeStorms]

56. In their defense......

no one in that era could have ever imagined someone like Donald Trump existing, let alone being President. They'd never believe that the Republican party could ever be so corrupt and disrespectful of the Constitution they so lovingly crafted, either.

[Cha]

48. Excellent! Mahalo, SummerSnow!

[orangecrush]

50. K to the f'n R!!!

[lordsummerisle]

52. K&R n/t

53. The Democratic Party is fighting to protect elections. Thats why were suing the Trump campaign and

Link to tweet

[Doitnow]

58. Elections are the most important thing. If we don't have a vote, we will have NOTHING!!!!

[Hoyt]

55. I bet thats going to accomplish. . . . . nothing . . . . .sadly.

[Hugin]

57. I'm hoping they hold out for a cool gig-a-bucks.

According to President Cheese Whip, he's got several laying around.

The DNC spent almost that much defending themselves against the stolen information.

My only regret is they didn't include Fox News among the Defendants.
