It is a great thought and would be wonderful but not be feasible.
It would take a lot of $$. We could face judgements where we would have to pay their attorney fees plus court costs. Not to mention filing in multiple courts. Also, would need witnesses/experts testimony if it ever went to trial. We would have to pay for those witnesses/experts to be there.
Not to mention each one we filed could get delayed, over and over, it could take years.
This is why Sessions has only one shot at bring these Evil freaks down, everything has to be solid.
Is it possible to bring a case against the DC police to force them to investigate Alefantis? Do they have a duty too investigate crime? If only voter fraud - the multiple voter registration for JA?
Is there reasonable suspicion that he may have CP on his hard drive or saved or accessed in the cloud?
So...to file a successful lawsuit you need both "standing" and a "cause of action." The cause of action is the legal theory on which your claim is based, and standing is basically the idea that claims are personal to the person who is aggrieved. So say, for instance, Steve punches John in the face. John would have a cause of action for battery, but john's friend Mike would not have standing to bring the case for John (in most circumstances). John has to bring the case himself.
The types of cases you suggest bringing lack either one or the other or both. In order to get to discovery, you have to survive a motion to dismiss, which is a pretty low bar, but at minimum you have to make allegations, which, if true, would entitle the plaintiff to some relief, which, without standing or a cause of action, is not going to go very far.
You are most definitely correct on this. It is important to proceed in a manner that provides legal traction. Emotional accusations (however valid they may indeed be - and I am a firm believer in the core PG accusations) will get us nowhere fast.

It is a great idea if done correctly.....
But it's too bad the FBI doesn't get off its ass and look into Carris on their own.

"Do they have a duty to investigate crime" you would think so wouldn't you!
▼ MaxVieuxlieu
Unfortunately they actually don't have any such duty.
▼ huhhh
Of course not, they leave that up to the general public.

Good idea. Would need to find people with finding and the balls to step up for humanity
