Mueller is TRYING to do his job, but Republicans and tRump want to stop him from doing his job. Let's compare that to all the times Hillary and Bill did not stop investigators, shall we?
This lawsuit isn't going to accomplish anything with regard to saving Mueller and it makes the DNC look weak and further emphasizes that they're not over 2016 when their sole focus needs to be on winning seats in congress in November, not pissing away hundreds of thousands in donor funds on legal fees.
By the way, the "tRump" thing is getting old. So 2015.

Saving Mueller? From What? You think tRump is getting old, how about Benghazi ?????
Saving Mueller from a possible firing or a limitation on his investigation.

Bernie should sue Hillary and the DNC for fixing the primaries.

A typo, now fixed, that's all, (aside from the recent site changes, typing 18 years after a Rheumatoid Arthritis diagnoses does not help either).
The Democrats filed a similar suit in 1972 I believe.
GDB wrote:From Washington Post;
The lawsuit echoes a similar legal tactic that the Democratic Party used during the Watergate scandal. In 1972, the DNC sued President Richard Nixon’s reelection committee seeking $1 million in damages for the break-in at Democratic headquarters in the Watergate building.
The suit was denounced at the time by Nixon’s attorney general, John Mitchell, who called it a case of “sheer demagoguery” by the DNC. But the civil action brought by the DNC’s chairman, Lawrence F. O’Brien, was successful, yielding a $750,000 settlement from the Nixon campaign that was reached on the day in 1974 that he left office.
Nick Akerman, a former Watergate prosecutor who specializes in computer-fraud cases, said he thought the Democrats’ suit had merit and, despite predictions from Trump-allied lawyers, was unlikely to go away anytime soon.
“There is no way it’s going to be dismissed,” said Akerman, a partner in the New York office of the Dorsey & Whitney law firm. “At least not on the computer-fraud part of the case, which is really the heart of it. The Democrats have every right to bring this suit as they are aggrieved. My question is: What took them so long?”
