    Democratic Party files suit alleging conspiracy by Trump campaign, Russia, WikiLeaks

    The Democratic Party on Friday filed a multimillion-dollar federal lawsuit against Trump campaign officials, the Russian government and WikiLeaks alleging a widespread conspiracy to tilt the 2016 election in Donald Trump's favor.
    Calling it an “all-out assault on our democracy,” the Democratic National Committee filed the civil suit in federal district court in Manhattan. The suit amounts to another legal broadside related to the 2016 race, on top of the special counsel's ongoing Russia probe and the FBI raid on Trump's personal attorney last week.
    "The conspiracy constituted an act of previously unimaginable treachery: the campaign of the presidential nominee of a major party in league with a hostile foreign power to bolster its own chance to win the Presidency," the suit states.
    It claims that Trump campaign officials worked in tandem with the Russian government and its military spy agency to bring down Hillary Clinton by hacking into the computer networks of the DNC and spreading stolen material.
    “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,” said DNC Chairman Tom Perez in a statement, calling the alleged collusion “an act of unprecedented treachery.”

    the suit gives no allusion to physical evidence or depositions, but supports its claims with links to "reputable" news stories including Fox News! Ask a liberal you know if Fox News is credible, then say they are referenced in this suit, so is the suit credible?
    I just want objectivity on this forum and will point out flawed sources or points of view at my leisure.

    There they go again, throwing around that word, "democracy" like it's something we should have.

    Nowhere in the Constitution is that word even mentioned.

    Senor Trump is right... this suit opens 'discovery'. hahaha

    my guess?
    This ill advised 'suit' was/is introduced 'solely' for the 2018 mid-term as a 'talking point'... a campaign strategy.
    It will be slo-footed at every opportunity in the courts (by the Dems)...
    and hammered 'nightly' by the MSMs.

    It will be 'dropped' after the elections.

    This is controversial at many levels and crosses so many lines. Going after elders/nation states is one thing but they have even sued son and widey respected son-in-law of a sitting POTUS right in the middle of his mideast peace mission:









    Fox news in probably in hurry mised their names. Even if Dems are looking to create a contigency venue to keep this affair in headlines if Mueller is fired on Giuliani advise, bringing children and in laws into this will create too much of a media distraction for POTUS trying to serve people the best way he knows how to.

    I feel like the lawsuit should be heard by a 3rd party, outside of our legal/political system, and I think it would be hilarious if the Russians were asked to mediate.

    No, let them donate and waste it away in the hopes the party goes bankrupt.

    Democrats sue Trumps, Kushner and Russia over election hacking
    Apr 20, 2018


    Defense has also been beefed up with widely celeberated legal eagle Giuliani.

    "Nothing wrong with surrounding yourself with the best.
    To give credit where due, new addition also seems well connected and seems more competent than Michael Cohen:


    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDY4tSibYpo
    "

    A year and half after the elections, this suit could be political posturing ahead of midterms to inflict political damage. Timing is bit peculiar, the suit is filed just days after Trump's personal lawyer was raided by FBI. Is it possibe DNC and Stormy Daniel's lawyer (allegedly ex Dem operative) are colluding/tag-teaming here and DNC opportunsitcally trying to capitalize on new evidence that may have been collected in other cases?

    Stormy Daniels lawyer predicts Trump deposition, says they’ve found his ‘Achilles heel’

    By Luis Sanchez - 04/21/18

    Stormy Daniels’s lawyers told “Real Time” host Bill Maher on Friday that he has found President Trump’s “Achilles' heel” and predicts he can get Trump and Michael Cohen to appear for a deposition.

    “I think we are going to get an opportunity to depose Michael Cohen and the president within the next 60 to 90 days and ... I truly believe this is the Achilles' heel of the president,” Avenatti said about the president and his personal lawyer. “He has trusted a moron with his innermost secrets."

    “The problem is he has surrounded himself in his adult life with people that are incompetent and the chickens are going to come home to roost,” Avenatti added.

    Maher said that even if Trump gets a deposition, he might not show up to court and trigger a constitutional crisis.
    Avenatti predicted the president would show up to court, but argued that it might not matter since he thinks Cohen will end up telling the court everything he knows about the president.
    “Michael Cohen knows where almost all the bodies are buried and I think he is going to sing like a canary,” Avenatti said. “I know he is going to fold.”
    “When you have a fixer, you need two things, at least. You need a guy who is tough and you need a guy that is smart,” Avenatti said. “This guy is neither tough nor smart.”
