The Democratic National Committee's lawsuit against the Trump campaign, Russia, and Wikileaks for allegedly colluding during the 2016 election is one massive eye roll.
Even liberal Democrats have given it a chilly reception, while red state Democrats, like Claire McCaskill are labeling it a "Silly distraction." Rep. Jackie Speier is not supportive of the legal effort, telling for a California liberal in a state that's positioning itself as a bastion of anti-Trump resistance.
ABC News' Political Director Rick Klein was on The Joe Piscopo Show Monday where he said that this lawsuit legitimizes President Trump's claims that it's all sour grapes for Democrats, speaking about the Mueller investigation into possible Russian collusion between his campaign and the Kremlin.
It looks like a distraction, and yes, paints the Democrats as still whining over the 2016 election-which they are.
They're citing the 1972 lawsuit against the Republican National Committee over Watergate as precedent, though Klein said that yielded nothing significant.
Piscopo noted this could also blow up in the Democrats' faces, with Republicans filing a countersuit, deposing President Obama and other officials over their failure to deal with Russia and possibly whether there was collusion at the Obama-run DOJ to squash the Clinton Foundation probe during the 2016 election for naked political purposes.
It's unlikely any of this will get anywhere, but it once again shows how Democrats just cannot believe Clinton lost fair and square, which she did.
