WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Democratic Party sued Russia, President Donald Trump's campaign and WikiLeaks on Friday, charging that they conspired to disrupt the 2016 U.S. presidential election, a court filing showed.

The party alleges in the federal lawsuit in Manhattan that top Trump campaign officials conspired with the Russian government and its military spy agency to hurt Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton and tilt the election to Trump by hacking Democratic Party computers.

The lawsuit also names Donald Trump Jr., Trump associate Roger Stone and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, as defendants.

The lawsuit alleges that Trump's campaign "gleefully welcomed Russia's help" in the 2016 election.

The White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Trump has repeatedly denied his campaign colluded with Russia. Russia has denied meddling in the election.

The Republican National Committee, the Trump campaign, Trump campaign manager Michael Glassner, WikiLeaks, Stone and attorneys for Donald Trump Jr., former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, Manafort associate Rick Gates and former campaign aide George Papadopoulous also did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The lawsuit, should it go forward, seems likely to help keep the spotlight on the issue of Russian election interference and possible collusion by the Trump campaign. Both are being investigated by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Through the process of legal discovery, lawyers for the Democratic Party could force the defendants to produce documents bearing on the collusion issue.

They should sue themselves for focking Bernie over. What a bunch of butt hurt slonuffs.

[Mungwater 588]

The discovery phase is going to be fun, poor Bernie probably has a case on them if its proven they screwed him over

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

Didn't Hillary pay for the Russian pee-pee dossier? How is that not gleefully accepting Russians help? No wait, it's soliciting Russia's help. Come to think of it, this might be a good thing. Carry on.

[RaiderHaters Revenge 3,569]

I can't wait til Sho and MDC come in and say how wonderful it is

Hillary, the DNC and Obama paid for the Dossier.

[TimmySmith 2,782]

I guess that confirms that the Mueller investigation is officially over with regard to Trump.

[Mr. Hand 482]

They can't handle that they lost to Trump and it's making them look foolish. A bunch of sore losers.

[cyclone24 1,811]

Lol.....the DNC..who rigged their own election, cheated at every turn and funded the dossier....want an investigation?

 

Hahaha.....hey officers....i stole some things from the store about 2 years ago. Heres the address of the store, the date i was there.....can you investigate this for me?

 

Morons.

[Mike Honcho 4,014]

If they win, what do they get in damages?

Hillary takes office

[drobeski 3,061]

Remember that time the dummycrats mocked and ridiculed trump for potentially not accepting the election results ?

 

That was awesome.

Pretty stupid of them...let Mueller investigation play out.

 

The only part of it though...is what it may force as far as disclosure and testimony. In addition...similar happened with Nixon and Watergate and the suit provided results (money).

 

Still dumb and not something that is a good idea.

[Sho Nuff 719]

If they win, what do they get in damages?

 

have not read the complaint...depends what they are "suing" for. Nixon I think was sued for 1 million and they got $750K out of him.

[lickin_starfish 1,479]

This is exactly the opposite of what should be happening. Hillary and the DNC are the guilty parties. The US citizens should be suing HRC and her crew.

Bernie got his two houses and a wink wink that his wife's federal investigation won't go anywhere.

this.

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

The DNC IS being sued by Bernie supporters. The DNC tried to claim in court that it doesn't have to run a fair and Democratic process for selecting it's candidate.

What's worse is trying to find a Dem that cares. They got what they deserved.

[Cdub100 3,379]

Wikileaks is saying this is the same suit as before they decided to refile it to drum up interest that is next to nothing burger.,

[supermike80 1,285]

The dems should be putting energy into finding a suitable candidate to challenge Trump in 2020 that isn't named Oprah.

Instead this is what they do. Embarrassing..it really is

[EternalShinyAndChrome 2,513]

And just when you think the left can't get any more pathetic....they surprise you.

[Voltaire 4,556]

There's a lot of Dems that care .... just not in elected office. The entire DNC rigged the election for Hillary and their super-delegates were >90% Hillary supporters.

What makes Oprah worse than other potential Dem candidates?

[Hardcore troubadour 12,618]

What makes Oprah worse than other potential Dem candidates?

True. They are all forced to be hard left moonbats at this point. There won't be much daylight between any of them.

They had to support Hillary to get money from the DNC. She controlled the purse. In essence Hillary was the DNC.

Does she still control the DNC?

Rmff

[TimmySmith 2,782]

 

Does she still control the DNC?

I assume the deal she made with them ended with the election. Still it's am interesting question. She took over because the DNC was deep in debt. Yet somehow now they have money for lawsuits.

Soros and Obama sent billions to left wing groups.

Obama sent other peoples money. At least Soros sends his own.

[cyclone24 1,811]

I'm soooooo glad the DNC wants to get to the bottom of this.... First thing we could start with is them turning over their servers....
