Assuming the case survives a motion to dismiss for failure to state a valid legal claim, the DNC has just opened itself up to civil discovery by the defendants...
If I were counsel for the defense, I would advise foregoing the standard procedural challenges and allow the suit to go forward while pressing for a speedy trial. My guess is that the DNC hopes the defendants prolong the case with procedural motion practice. They can then argue the defendants are scared and fighting on non-substantive grounds this implying they are indeed liable of what the DNC claims. This is all about the election in November.
