It will probably be dismissed as "frivolous"
especially since they don't even have a lawyer yet.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
It may be dismissed
Pray not but not because it is frivolous. There is merit to the facts presented.

You don't need a lawyer in America.
That's a misconception. You are free to represent yourself.

To flesh out the diary a little more
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Voting is like driving with a toy steering wheel.
Thanks
Thanks for adding that.

Thanks gbb
Have sent this link to everyone I know in western MA. Including the local papers, tho Clinton descended right near primary day, and as we've read, Sanders staff deliberately kept valuable voter data from volunteers, there is still a spirit of FIGHT in the Sanders supporters here - moreover, it adds momentum to the "I'll NEVAH vote for Her" meme!!!!!
I saw that. Slime bucket.
IMO, election fraud is the name of game. I think they stole Iowa, AZ, MA, and IL. They are warning everyone in NY to check their registrations and to take pictures of it. People all over NY are complaining they've been slammed.

Afte this primary, I am to a point that I don't know if I'll ever vote for any Democrat ever again.

Jump off the "D" wagon!
On the one hand, it's good to have as many progressive voices as possible within the party; but on the other, those voices, no matter how numerous, are continually ignored. Good ol Bernie isn't really a Dem, he just plays one on tv
The Socialist Alternative Party is a good one to join, they've got a seat on the Seattle city council held by Kshama Sawant. The Green Party is good too, but is dismissed more often than taken seriously. I mean, even in my home state of Oregon the Libertarian party gets more votes in statewide races.
Gold is the wealth of kings; silver is the wealth of commoners; barter is the wealth of peasants; and debt is the wealth of slaves.
The point
Ironic since it sounds like the point of the whole thing was to keep you from voting for a Democrat in this primary.
This point has not been lost on me.
...but I remain mystified how they think this will work to their advantage strategically - Dems don't win with small turnouts. Truly puzzling.
'What we are left with is an agency mandated to ensure transparency and disclosure that is actually working to keep the public in the dark' - Ann M. Ravel, former FEC member
they do not care about winning
The PTB in the Democratic party are simply protecting their donor class. They do not have to win to do that.

I think the Hillary would
I think the Hillary would like to win the general but I truly don't think she gives a shit. She'd rather win the primary, (and make history) and lose the general than have Bernie win the primary AND the general...
What's going to be interesting is, if she wins the primary, what could happen in all of the "safe" blue states. I could see her losing some of these states because the Bernie supporters skip voting for her as a protest. Wouldn't that send a freakin message if she lost say, New Jersey or Oregon. I could definitely see her losing Vermont. Wisconsin, Maine? Not to mention swing states like Florida and my state, Ohio. Here's a list of the "safe" blue states. It's underneath the video of George Will.

We have a first past the post system, with it's spoiler effect.
This type of system always devolves into a two party system. It sucks.
The Romans used Sortition, sort of like a lottery. No spoiler effect, at least.
Dance with the one who brung you, I guess.

They are looking for a ProBono lawyer to take down the "Big Dog"
Unfortunately, the most experienced lawyer for the job is leading the FBI and trying to bring down the other Clinton.

I believe
that it is a civil suit and wouldn't involve the FBI. I could be mistaken.

Hope they
follow thru on this.
Someone needs to.
The Clintons are beginning to remind me of the Bourbons
Petty and stupid, but desperate to remain in power, whether it be in France, Spain, the Two Sicilies, etc.
Gëzuar!!
from a reasonably stable genius.
*Some* Bourbons eventually learned
The current lot in Spain don't seem to be too far out of touch with the people, and let's hope things stay that way.
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
True..
But one shouldn't go elephant hunting in Africa with your 'best female friend' when your country is in fiscal crisis, as Juan Carlos I found out.
Hence Felipe VI.

Bourbons
And Maker's Mark is actually pretty tasty, unlike the Southern-Fried Paint Thinner Rotgut that usually goes by that name. (Reference to one of the oldest rivalries on the old FidoNet HOLYSMOKE Echo and this C99p essay).

Gotta love it.
Neat, or with solidified water chunks?
Either way should be OK.
Maker's Mark, shaved solidified dihydrogen monoxide, crushed leaves of herbs in the genus Mentha, add sucrose to taste.

What exactly is 'bourbon'?
And 'Rye'?
I'm not a spirit drinker.
Gëzuar!!

spirits
Bourbon and Rye are spirits made from grains.
Bourbon is made principally from corn. Rye is made, of course, from rye.
Now whether they are good spirits or evil spirits I leave as an exercise to my reader!

I am pretty sure that to be labeled "rye"
It must be made from at least 51% rye.
I could look it up, but that would be so hard....

The Netherlands had to fight Spain for EIGHTY YEARS
before finally winning their independence (although that wasn't the Bourbons, it was the Habsburgs).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighty_Years%27_War
And frankly the Bourbons were an *improvement*
over the Habsburgs, who were in the main incompetent and excessively inbred - so much so that they finally bred themselves into extinction. The last Spanish Habsburg was such a walking birth defect that everyone was astonished he made it to 30-something.
His heirs were his sisters' grandsons, one of whom (Philippe d'Anjou) was also a grandson of Louis XIV (who was very much alive and kicking, and managed to get Philippe placed on the Spanish throne by force of arms - note, this is the condensed version).
There is no justice. There can be no peace.
Yeah, and essentially
bankrupted France. Louis XIV was loved for much of his long reign, but after getting a Bourbon on the Spanish throne, bankrupted France and so at the end of his reign was hated.
He left France in financial ruin and never really recovered and eventually led to the conditions that sparked the Revolution.
