Just When You Thought 'Russiagate' Couldn't Get Any Sillier
Knapp, Thomas
http://www.counterpunch.org/2018/04/23/just-when-you-thought-russiagate-couldnt-get-any-sillier/Date Written: 2018-04-23 Publisher: Counterpunch Year Published: 2018 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX22233 The lawsuit against the Trump campaign, the Russian government and WikiLeaks is simply the latest version of what the DNC has been doing since 2016, which is trying to fob blame for its loss of an election it should have won. Abstract: -- Excerpt: The suit confirms that after more than a year, special counsel Robert Mueller still hasn't amassed the evidence required for a successful criminal prosecution, requiring proof "beyond a reasonable doubt." A civil suit lowers that bar to "a preponderance of the evidence." But even that's a long shot. The only credible evidence produced so far implicates only the Trump campaign, not the other two defendants, and only to the same extent that it likewise implicates the Clinton campaign.
