The Rundown: The Democrats decided to go nuclear but Kim Jong-un has not. Stormy Daniels’ former lawyer is cooperating with the feds and President Trump’s fixer might plead the fifth. The governor of Missouri has been indicted. If all that’s not enough — don’t eat the Romaine.

Litigating the Vote: Somehow the Democratic National Committee is trying to win in court what it lost in the polling booth. The committee yesterday filed a lawsuit against the Russian government, the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks, claiming a conspiracy to disrupt the 2016 election.

They want millions of dollars in damages.

“During the 2016 presidential campaign, Russia launched an all-out assault on our democracy, and it found a willing and active partner in Donald Trump’s campaign,” DNC Chairman Tom Perez said in a statement. He went on, “This constituted an act of unprecedented treachery: the campaign of a nominee for President of the United States in league with a hostile foreign power to bolster its own chance to win the presidency.”

We’re not sure exactly what he was saying, but President Trump responded with the following tweet; “Just heard the Campaign was sued by the Obstructionist Democrats. This can be good news in that we will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the Debbie Wasserman Schultz Servers and Documents held by the Pakistani mystery man and Clinton Emails.”

He seems to be saying he will counter sue or get the Justice Department to move against the Democrats. It needs translation.

Professional Courtesy: Keith Davidson, the former lawyer for two women paid to keep quiet about their relationships with Donald Trump, is cooperating with federal investigators scrutinizing Trump’s fixer/lawyer Michael Cohen.

Davidson’s own lawyer confirms that his client has provided information requested by investigators.

Cohen seems to be in deep trouble although no one has said what crime he may have committed. The big question is whether he will turn on Donald Trump if the feds do have anything that will send him to jail. Cohen has a wife and two kids.

There’s speculation now that Cohen might invoke the Fifth Amendment if he’s called for depositions in the Stormy Daniels civil lawsuit. Anything self-incriminating he might say there could be used against him in a criminal case.

Then again, he could plead out and testify against the President.

Trump political operative Roger Stone tells the NY Times that despite how loyal Cohen is to Trump, “Donald goes out of his way to treat him like garbage.” Payback could be coming.

They Showed Him: While we’re on legal matters, Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens, whose first date with his former mistress turned into bondage session, has been charged with a felony count of computer tampering related to his election campaign.

Greitens is accused of misappropriating a charity donor list to solicit campaign money for his 2016 run for governor. St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner charged Greitens, 44, a former Navy SEAL, founded the St. Louis-based charity The Mission Continues in 2007 and left it in 2014.

Greitens is better known for being embroiled in a sex scandal that involved exercise equipment in his basement gym. He is least known for being governor of Missouri.

The Kimchi Krisis: Way down here we’ll report that North Korean leader Kim Jong-un says he has no further need to conduct nuclear weapons tests because his nuclear development program is complete. Some have interpreted this as a diplomatic peace gesture in advance of possibly talks with President Trump. It could also be read the other way around, as in, “I got what I need already.”

President Trump tweeted, “North Korea has agreed to suspend all Nuclear Tests and close up a major test site. This is very good news for North Korea and the World – big progress! Look forward to our Summit.”

Maybe, just maybe. But Kim has been at this game a lot longer than Trump.

Ro-mania: The Centers for Disease Control advises that if you have romaine lettuce at home and you don’t know where it was grown and processed, throw it away.

There’s been an outbreak of e-coli infections associated with romaine with an estimated 60 people made sick in 16 states. Federal investigators believe the infected lettuce was grown in the area of  Yuma, Ariz., but they don’t know. They say that whether your romaine is a whole head, chopped, or in a salad, don’t eat it.

The Obit Page: The world-travelling Swedish dance-music DJ and musician who went by the name Avicii was found dead yesterday in Muscat, Oman. He was only 28.

There are no details yet on the cause, but the musician, whose real name was Tim Bergling, had suffered pancreatitis from drinking too much. He’d had his appendix and gall bladder removed.

Avicii became an international star with his 2013 hit, “Wake Me Up!” he stopped touring in 2016 because it was too brutal. He said at the time, “The scene was not for me. It was not the shows and not the music. It was always the other stuff surrounding it that never came naturally to me.”

Branding: King Mswati III of Swaziland has re-named his country because he’s had a problem with people confusing it with Switzerland even though Swaziland is not known for cheese with holes in it. The king has named his country “Kingdom of eSwatini,” which means “land of the Swazis.” In other words, “Swaziland.”
