Stock photo shade thrown! — Trump looks like the sweaty district manager trying to convince his skeptical boss those mysterious ‘accounting errors’ have nothing to do with him. Life’s been a little *too* real around here this week, so I’ve probably missed a lot, but just in case anybody wants a space to discuss this fascinating topic…
Quicktake:
1. DNC's RICO case is ineffectually histrionic.
2. DNC's RICO case may be intended to provoke defendants to seek a stay as Cohen has based on their Fifth Amendment rights for political fodder.— IPleadTheFifthHat (@Popehat) April 20, 2018
Fascinating & innovative lawsuit by DNC agnst #Russian Govt & #Trump family/associates & #Wikileaks. Will have significant sovereign immunity issues agnst Russia but if DNC can get past Motion to Dismiss by #Trump et al, serious discovery power will existhttps://t.co/50BXhaWYD3

This looks, to my I-Am-Not-A-Lawyer eyes, like a good start at explaining the suit:

Note: the 1972 DNC lawsuit against the Nixon campaign was successful; Nixon's folks paid $750K –on the day he resigned. https://t.co/nay8b51fEl

Cohen Milstein is representing the DNC in this case. They have a history of successfully litigating complex and socially significant cases.
