Another DNC Trainwreck

Oh, you mean the memos that the Inspector General is now recommending charges against Comey for leaking?

What they have is hearsay, innuendo and (to borrow from Donny's cute reference), "'No true Scotsman' fallacy".

In any event, a similar civil suit was filed against Nixon and his henchmen during Watergate and the DNC won a settlement of $750K.

If it also serves to keep the Democratic base on a low boil and increase contributions to the DNC, no harm in that.

I thought you weren't a Democrat?

You and your fellow Dems have been hoping breathlessly for criminal charges to come from any or all of the various investigations. Since there's NO EVIDENCE of any collusion, you now turn to a civil suit because the breathless hope for criminal charges has crumbled.

I think you're absolutely right, the suit is all about fun-raising and keeping folks like you riled up. Now, go run and get your checkbook.
