This is the Sore Loser Party being the embodiment of sore losers. They should just stand up and accept that they ran a bad candidate who wasn’t capable of running a campaign to beat Donald Trump, a guy who had never actually run a successful political campaign
The Democratic National Committee filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit Friday against the Russian government, the Trump campaign and the WikiLeaks organization alleging a far-reaching conspiracy to disrupt the 2016 campaign and tilt the election to Donald Trump.
The complaint, filed in federal district court in Manhattan, alleges that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and help Trump by hacking the computer networks of the Democratic Party and disseminating stolen material found there.
“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.
Because, you know, Hillary was Entitled to the presidency. Maybe she could have campaigned in states she needed to win. Not passed out on 9/11. You know the whole story.
The case asserts that the Russian hacking campaign — combined with Trump associates’ contacts with Russia and the campaign’s public cheerleading of the hacks — amounted to an illegal conspiracy to interfere in the election that caused serious damage to the Democratic Party. (snip)
The suit filed Friday seeks millions of dollars in compensation to offset damage it claims the party suffered from the hacks. The DNC argues that the cyberattack undermined its ability to communicate with voters, collect donations and operate effectively as its employees faced personal harassment and, in some cases, death threats.
The suit also seeks an acknowledgment from the defendants that they conspired to infiltrate the Democrats’ computers, steal information and disseminate it to influence the election.
Um, are these the “hacks” due to idiots not understanding how phishing works? The ones they didn’t want the FBI to investigate? Have they considered that, if this suit actually goes forward, the DNC and people like Debbie Wasserman Schultz will have to answer questions about why they wanted no outside involvement. And so much more. But, consider

Perhaps they know their talking points are going nowhere fast, so, they have to try some other desparation play.
The lawsuit is tactic admission that Mueller has nothing…
Comey leaked classified information so says the IG. McCabe referred for criminal prosecution.
Trump was right all along…
Again.
If this proceeds, GOP will respond with subpoena requests for all of the things the Dems tried to keep secret, including physical possession and examination of the DNC server. If there’s even one thing that has been erased from that server, then shazamm! the Democrats are in trouble.
Of course, the real reason is the different standard of proof in criminal versus civil cases. In civil cases, the standard is the preponderance of the evidence, and the verdict need not be unanimous. They know there’s nothing criminal that can be hung on the President and his campaign.
When this lawsuit is tossed out, as it becomes more obvious that the whole reason for this farcical investigation originated with the Hillary campaign, can we send them a bill for what Mueller’s investigation has cost the taxpayers?
Of course Trump conspired to win the presidency. That was explicitly the whole point of having a campaign. It’s not really much of a conspiracy though. Millions of people were in on it.
I don’t think the DNC thought this through very well. This is a civil action and the rules are different. Hillary could be called and have to answer some really bad questions that could expose her entire racket.
