Lawsuit against DWS gets a hearing tomorrow

Remember Debbie Wasserman Schultz? When I think of her I think of this:

Tomorrow her lawyers must appear before a judge.
Hopefully, she will have to do the same soon.

After deliberating since October 2016, a federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has recently issued an order for appearance to the lawyers representing the DNC and former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz and the plaintiffs representing Bernie Sanders supporters, Jared Beck and Elizabeth Lee Beck. The hearing is set for 1:30 p.m. on April 25, when the judge is expected to announce the court’s decision in response to the DNC’s motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

The lawsuit was initially filed in June 2016 in response to the mounting evidence that Wasserman Schultz used the DNC to tip the scales in Hillary Clinton’s favor during the Democratic primaries. Wasserman Schultz and her staff overtly violated article four, section 5 of the DNC Charter, which stipulates, “The Chairperson shall exercise impartiality and evenhandedness between the Presidential candidates and campaigns. The Chairperson shall be responsible for ensuring that the national officers and staff of the Democratic National Committee maintain impartiality and evenhandedness during the Democratic Party Presidential nominating process.”

I won't bother going into all of the evidence of the primary being rigged (you probably know better than I do). Instead I'll just add this.

So far in court, the DNC’s lawyers haven’t refuted that the primaries were rigged, but in their motion to dismiss, they argued that some Sanders supporters cited in the class action lawsuit posted on social media during the primaries that the Democratic Party was favoring Clinton. The lawyers have also argued that neutrality is just a political promise that the DNC should not be bound to keeping.

@dkmich Problem is, even though I submitted my info twice, I never got the confirmation packet in the mail that others seem to have. I hope, if this goes forward, that I still "count!"

@dkmich And so do I!!!

Nothing would make me happier than getting my money back from funds the DNC plans to use to rig the next election with their favored candidate.

A person from the DNC admitted that they had been pushing for Hillary to win and that since people were aware of that then they shouldn't have continued to give Bernie's campaign money.
I hope that statement finds its way into the court hearings.
And hopefully the contents of Podesta's emails are also admitted into evidence since they showed that the Hillary campaign was sabotaging his campaign.

There is also the fact that Hillary was getting paid for her speeches while she was running for the presidency which was against the rules or law.
She was coordinating with her campaign staff to line up the delegates, getting funding for the campaign and other activities. I don't think that will be part of the lawsuit, but she needs to be held accountable for that so that others won't do the same things.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
