Democrats Take Trump to Court

Some might wonder, "It's about time." Timing is everything, and it appears that the Democrats filing charges against the Trump campaign and co-conspirators in court is right for these reasons:

1. The Special Prosecutor has a head start and is nearing a position of recommending charges. Democrats can leverage that.

2. The tactic is a proven backstop to the circumstance where a President fired a Special Prosecutor, i.e. Nixon.

3. Taking depositions in the Federal Court venue in New York will amplify the Federal investigation and support actions by Congress to impeach the alleged illegitimate regime.
"Democratic Party files lawsuit alleging Russia, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks conspired to disrupt the 2016 campaign 
The Democratic National Committee alleges 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 Donald Trump by hacking the computer networks of the Democratic Party and disseminating stolen material found there. The multimillion-dollar lawsuit was filed in a federal district court in Manhattan. 
The lawsuit echoes a similar legal tactic that the Democratic Party used during the Watergate scandal. In 1972, the DNC filed suit against former President Richard Nixon’s reelection committee seeking $1 million in damages for the break-in at Democratic headquarters in the Watergate building."
