Dear Honest Reporters
Here are your headlines from the dismissal of the DNC’s lawsuit against the Trump campaign for “Colluding” with Russia
THREAD
The DNC’s lawsuit was “entirely divorced from the facts”
The DNC’s lawsuit had “fundamental defects” even at the third time of asking
Not even the DNC alleged the Trump Tower meeting attended by @DonaldJTrumpJr had anything to do with the DNC hacks or any Russian hacking
The DNC did “not allege any facts to show plausibly that any of the defendants [other than Russia] had any role in hacking the DNC’s computers or stealing its information”
And publishing such information afterwards would be protected by the 1A, whether by Wikileaks or anyone
The judge who dismissed the case by appointed by Bill Clinton
Finally, while the judge failed to impose legal sanctions on the DNC for their frivolous lawsuit (as requested by the Trump campaign), he only did so because at a complaint stage of proceedings the law requires interpreting the complaint in the most favorable light to plaintiffs
