The DNC sued Richard Nixon over Watergate. The suit was for 1 million dollars for breaking in and trying to bug the DNC headquarters at Watergate. Low & behold several years later Richard Nixon ended up paying the DNC $775,000 in a settlement over that.
Now the difference in a civil trial versus a criminal trial. A criminal trial requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt, whereas in a civil trial only
"preponderance of evidence is needed."
Where this originally played out Nationally was in the
O.J. Simpson trial where he was found not guilty--BUT then went onto a civil trial and LOST the law suit over preponderence of evidence. The other thing is---depositions, evidence & testimony will be made public in a civil trial.
This is not good for Trump.
Add to this that the congressional open public hearings on this will begin this coming January 20, 2019 when Democrats when are sworn in as majority leaders in one or both houses of congress--and we should have some great entertainment all the way up until impeachment.
A great book to prepare for all this

There's blood all over the place in the Trump investigation. I am fairly certain that the DNC has a lot of evidence that could meet the qualifications of "preponderence of evidence" that those within the Trump campaign did indeed collude with Russians to interfere into the election.
Trump surrogates were being picked up in daily routine spying operations since 2015.
"GCHQ--first became aware in late 2015 of suspicious “interactions” between figures connected to Trump and known or suspected Russian agents, a source close to UK intelligence said. This intelligence was passed to the US as part of a routine exchange of information, they added.
Over the next six months, until summer 2016, a number of western agencies shared further information on contacts between Trump’s inner circle and Russians, sources said.
The European countries that passed on electronic intelligence – known as sigint – included Germany, Estonia and Poland. Australia, a member of the “Five Eyes” spying alliance that also includes the US, UK, Canada and New Zealand, also relayed material, one source said."

Evidence of collusion comes out all the time, in fact almost on a daily basis anymore.

Damn, you sig fits this post to a tea. I guess you can't be accused of not practicing what you preach. Exactly what did Papalopodous plead guilty to?
.
You mean you can't look up what Papalopodous pleaded guilty to yourself? You don't know that Rick Gates has pleaded guilty on 2 counts--and they are BOTH working with Mueller in plea deals.
The point IS--there is enough preponderence of evidence here for the DNC to take Donald Trump to court & win a civil suit right now.
