Why on earth is the DNC spending money on these idiot law suits? They're suing Russia? I mean, I think it's pretty likely they were involved in efforts to influence our 2016 election, but seriously, on what grounds are you going to sue Russia?

We don't even know how much of a factor the Kremlin really was. A lot of what people are calling social media influence from Eastern Europe and Russia are actually private enterprises that are simply looking for click traffic. While America isn't their only target, we do have the largest supply of dollars in foolish hands and a lucrative industry in political outrage, especially conservative (according to an interview of two site owners from Macedonia). It's the perfect market for setting up sites to catch clicks. Many of these site owners don't even know enough English to understand what the articles are saying but they can read the web reports and they can see the reactions in terms of clicks, so they repost on their own sites. It just turns out that the more outrageous stories from conservative sources for some reason attract more visitors than any other category in the American market. (Health advice is actually the second most popular category.) There's literally no way to quantify the effects of Kremlin vs the effects of the free-market Internet. Suing Russia is just a dick move.

As for the suit against Trump... There's more to to make a case here because of the treason perspective, especially since we're talking about the presidency, but Muller is working through the investigation. I don't see why we can't just chill out and wait for him to complete the investigation BEFORE we break out the noose.

I'm very disappointed in the DNC about this. It just doesn't make sense to me.

Herr Mueller's 15 minutes of fame is nearing its end, his unconstitutional witch hunt has not found a thread of evidence against Trump, it has done nothing but destroy the lives of good men.

F*ck the DNC and the poisonous snake that hatched it, that godless pile of dung is already near bankruptcy, if it is compelled to blow what's left in its coffers on frivolous law suits, more power to it. As has been said, "when your enemy is committing suicide, don't interfere."

I guess it's nonsense to think that any demonrat has any sense and we know they lack common sense!!

They successfully sued the Republican Party in the past over Nixon’s crimes. The suit will allow them a process of discovery where the American people will become aware of collusion between the republicans, Wikileaks and the Russians. The republicans will likely try to block the suit, fail and then offer a huge payoff to avoid discovery.

The DNC should sue ovommit, mueller and hitlary for it"s provable Russian collusion and finally transform the DNC into a real truth seeking organization and ostracize all lying, immoral, hate filled, anti-American scumbags. Unfortunately that would include 99.9% of the demonratic party so bankruptcy would have to be filed. What a thrill that would be.

This is just an other pre-emptive diversionary tactic.

The DNC is crapping its pantsuits over the Horowitz Report.

McCabe stacked the Clinton e-mail investigation, by appointing Clinton supporters to investigate Hillary.

McCabes wife accepted over a half million dollars, while McCabe was making these appointments.

McCabe is about to roll, like a barrel going over Niagara Falls!

The suit will not go forward until the Mueller investigation is over. There will be damages payed to the injured parties in civil court when the criminal trials are finished. The organizations behind this should be held accountable.

I would agree! Clinton and BHO and their organizations NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE or this non-sense will continue.....

LOL! They need to sue themselves. It's their party heads who had contact with Russians. It is their Party that refused to give the FBI their supposed hacked servers.

"As for the suit against Trump... There's more to to make a case here because of the treason perspective, especially since we're talking about the presidency, but Muller is working through the investigation."

Read the following and please tell me how you derive a "treason perspective"

Definition of treason
1: the offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family
2: the betrayal of a trust : treachery


18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason
US Code

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)


The Constitution narrowly defines treason and establishes a high bar for conviction. “Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort,” Article Three states. “No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.”

“Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.”


In Cramer v. United States, 325 U.S. 1 (1945), the Supreme Court ruled that "[e]very act, movement, deed, and word of the defendant charged to constitute treason must be supported by the testimony of two witnesses." In Haupt v. United States, 330 U.S. 631 (1947), however, the Supreme Court found that two witnesses are not required to prove intent, nor are two witnesses required to prove that an overt act is treasonable. The two witnesses, according to the decision, are required to prove only that the overt act occurred (eyewitnesses and federal agents investigating the crime, for example).

McCabe was not in charge at the time that his wife got money from the democratic org. while she was running as a democrat in Virginia.

It is simple; Democrats think they're a lot smarter than they actually are.

The real danger to this country is not Russian hacking, democrats policies, Donald Trump, nor Republican policies - the real danger is reducing American citizens to numbers, to be used in political calculations.

Even the media is complicit in this travesty, constantly examining the win/lose calculations for every tweet, comment or action.

How does the Presidents approval/disapproval rating effect upcoming elections? Does this or that tweet hurt incumbents in November? The columns to be calculated changes hourly.

Here's a thought; if political think tanks, PAC's and everyone else wants to know how folks are likely to vote in November - they should get off their ass and go ask them.

LOL! I can agree with that. An entire industry that's right about 50% of the time. Hell I can say maybe.
