I'm totally in agreement with you that the DNC needs to find candidates and campaign on issues and try to vote out Trump and to replace his collaborators in Congress.
But, while I'm not thrilled with this suit, I don't think merely filing it is a terrible idea. Even though Trump is not named, he's the beneficiary of this corrupt conspiracy, and, substantive legitimate political issues aside, I think it's important not to just concede that Trumpism is ok and an acceptable part of the political process.
It would be nice if the criminal justice system could deal with this problem on its own, but Trump has pardon power, and the legal ability to clean out the justice department and shut down efforts to prosecute his minons and his family, and a seeming long shot like this seems like a worthwhile step in fighting against the threat he represents to the government, it's institutions, and indirectly, to the American people.
If the Republican Congress continues to protect him, his power wholly unchecked, save for "stunts" like this, and resistance on the State level. I'd like to see Democrats take the House in 2018, but if that doesn't happen, the odds of voting Trump out in 2020 go down dramatically, and, as time goes by, he continues to destroy and marginalize his opponents and critics, the 2024 election might well be meaningless.
Look at it this way. What's the downside?
