DNC shuns its anti-Trump Kremlin dossier in collusion law suit

The Democratic National Committee's Russia collusion law suit against the Trump campaign cites a number of press stories, tweets and investigative reports as evidence, but there is one notable absence.

The 66-page suit doesn't mention the Christopher Steele dossier, an investigation financed by the very same DNC as well as the Hilary Clinton campaign and sourced to Kremlin operatives.

Just like the DNC law suit, Mr. Steele's 35 pages is filled with allegations of collusion against President Trump and his aides.

Once the dossier was posted by BuzzFeed on Jan. 10, 2017, its accusations of an "Extensive conspiracy" between the Trump campaign and Russia become liberal talking points.

The FBI used the dossier to acquire a court-approved surveillance warrant on Trump volunteer Carter Page.

In its headline-grabbing law suit filed on Friday in U.S. District Court in New York, the DNC ignores Mr. Steele's work.

The suit also cites candidate Trump's promotion of Wikileaks downloads of DNC emails which the intelligence community says were stolen by Russian intelligence units.
