This is the first of many consequences the Democratic Party will face for manipulating millions of voters

Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair, Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

On June 28, the Miami-based law firm Beck & Lee (http://www.beckandlee.com/contact/index.html) filed a class action lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee and DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

“There are essentially six legal claims we are asserting in this lawsuit on behalf of the composed class members,” said attorney Jared Beck in a YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU4I6C-9JZw) announcing the lawsuit. “The first is a claim for fraud—against the DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz (http://observer.com/2016/06/dnc-chair-debbie-wasserman-schultz-is-finally-kicked-to-the-curb/)—based on the revelations from the recent Guccifer 2.0 (http://observer.com/2016/06/guccifer-2-0-leak-reveals-how-dnc-rigged-primaries-for-clinton/) documents purportedly taken from the DNC’s own computer network.” The Guccifer 2.0 documents (http://observer.com/2016/06/guccifer-2-0-leak-reveals-how-dnc-rigged-primaries-for-clinton/) include internal memos in which the DNC (http://observer.com/2016/04/the-dncs-biggest-problem/) broke legally binding neutrality agreements in the Democratic primaries by strategizing to make Hillary Clinton the nominee before a single vote was cast.

The second claim filed is for negligent misrepresentation, a legal theory based on the first claim of fraud. The third claim alleges the DNC and Wasserman Schultz (http://observer.com/2016/03/rigged-debbie-wasserman-schultz-strikes-once-again/) participated in deceptive conduct in claiming the DNC (http://observer.com/2016/04/sooner-or-later-the-dnc-will-have-to-face-its-corruption-issues/) was neutral during the Democratic primaries, when there is overwhelming evidence suggesting favoritism of Clinton (http://observer.com/2016/06/how-emailgate-weakened-americas-national-security/) from the beginning. The fourth claim of the lawsuit seeks retribution of any monetary donations the DNC to Bernie Sanders (http://observer.com/2016/02/if-sanders-loses-bernie-believers-will-take-the-dnc-down/)‘ campaign. The fifth claim alleges the DNC broke its fiduciary duties during the Democratic primaries to members of the Democratic Party (http://observer.com/2016/06/obamas-latest-attempt-to-save-clinton-from-indictment/) by not holding a fair election process. The sixth claim is for negligence on behalf of the DNC (http://observer.com/2016/03/the-countless-failings-of-the-dnc/)—for not protecting donor information—as hackers broke into the DNC (http://observer.com/2016/05/corruption-is-catching-up-to-the-clintons-and-their-associates/) networks, potentially compromising their personal information.

“This lawsuit is our effort as attorneys to give a voice, in the political system, to all those who have been defrauded by the conduct of the DNC (http://observer.com/2016/02/with-tulsi-gabbard-on-board-will-elizabeth-warren-endorse-sanders/) in supporting and promoting Hillary Clinton’s candidacy in violation of its own charter which requires it to be neutral,” added attorney Jeff Beck. The class of representatives in the class action lawsuit is currently in the thousands (http://usuncut.com/resistance/bernie-sanders-supporters-are-suing-dnc/) and continuing to grow, as any donor to Bernie Sanders’ campaign eligible to join. The Beck & Lee Law Firm has set up a Facebook Page (https://www.facebook.com/DNCfraudlawsuit) with updates on the progress of the lawsuit.

Hillary Clinton (http://observer.com/2016/03/no-shame-for-bill-and-hillary-entitlement-has-no-boundaries/) won the Democratic Primaries in large part due to the manufactured public consent within the Democratic Party (http://observer.com/2016/05/fellow-democrats-turn-on-clinton/) that she would be the presidential nominee before the primaries even started. Prior to the first state to hold an election in the primaries, over 400 super delegates (http://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2016-endorsement-primary/) formally supported (http://observer.com/2015/11/hillarys-outpacing-of-endorsements-signals-the-game-may-be-rigged-in-her-favor/) Clinton (http://observer.com/2016/06/the-classified-double-standard/). Clinton’s 2008 Campaign co-chair (http://observer.com/2016/05/mainstream-media-sacrifices-debbie-wasserman-schultz-to-appease-sanders-supporters/), Debbie Wasserman Schultz (http://observer.com/2015/12/dncs-glaring-favoritism-wasserman-schultz-is-untrustworthy-and-must-go/), did everything she could behind closed doors to ensure the 2016 primaries were not democratic, but rather a coronation for Clinton.

“It is clearly the case that, when given truth serum, Debbie Wasserman Schultz (http://observer.com/2016/01/disgust-for-debbie-wasserman-schultz-ignites-wave-of-election-year-bipartisanship/) vastly prefers Hillary Clinton (http://observer.com/2016/05/the-new-york-times-clinton-puppet-gets-it-wrong-again/) to be the nominee—obviously—and to the extent that there are things that can be done institutionally and marginally to facilitate that outcome, they are being done,” said MSNBC host Chris Hayes (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/05/19/liberal-pundits-blame-debbie-wasserman-schultz-not-bernie-sanders-for-democrats-division/) this past May.

Such favoritism for Clinton (http://observer.com/2015/08/the-countless-crimes-of-hillary-clinton-special-prosecutor-needed-now/) has extended throughout the Democratic Establishment. DNC vice chair Donna Brazile even foreshadowed the rigging in 2013, revealing in an interview (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2013/08/11/donna_brazile_if_hillary_clinton_gets_in_the_race_ there_will_be_a_coronation_of_her.html) with ABC News, “if Hillary Clinton (http://observer.com/2016/06/breaking-hillary-clinton-sent-information-marked-classified/) gets in the race, there will be a coronation of her.”

The DNC’s overtly fraudulent conduct and disregard for democracy has incited calls for Wasserman Schultz (http://observer.com/2016/05/mainstream-media-sacrifices-debbie-wasserman-schultz-to-appease-sanders-supporters/) to resign (http://observer.com/2016/03/even-an-endorsement-from-potus-cant-save-debbie-wasserman-schultz/), but the reforms and consequences for their transgressions don’t start and stop there. Had the DNC (http://observer.com/2015/12/why-democrats-need-to-fire-debbie-wasserman-schultz-and-who-should-replace-her/) not colluded with the Clinton Campaign (http://observer.com/2016/01/bill-clinton-bombs-in-his-first-solo-speech-in-new-hampshire/) to shield her from exposure, Clinton’s fate (http://observer.com/2016/03/how-the-dnc-shielded-clinton-from-the-same-fate-as-jeb-bush/) would have likely been similar to that of Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush (http://observer.com/2015/11/internet-trolls-hijack-jeb-can-fix-it-campaign-possibly-ending-bushs-run-for-good/), who fell from grace in a broad pool after once being presumed to come out on top as the Republican Party’s presidential nominee.

Beyond Bernie Sanders (http://observer.com/2016/04/heres-the-thing-so-many-americans-cant-grasp-about-bernie-sanders/), who was initially viewed (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/how-bernie-sanders-evolved-from-fringe-candidate-to-contender/) as a non-threatening fringe candidate, the field was cleared to ensure Clinton (http://observer.com/2016/06/the-coming-constitutional-crisis-over-hillary-clintons-emailgate/) could coast through the primaries. The DNC also rescinded a ban on donations from lobbyists and super-PACS—first enacted by Barack Obama (http://observer.com/2016/02/russian-tv-trashes-michelle-obama/) in 2008—by organizing a joint fundraising committee with the Clinton campaign called the Hillary Victory Fund (http://observer.com/2016/02/how-the-dnc-helps-clinton-buy-off-superdelegates/). According to a report (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/clinton-fundraising-leaves-little-for-state-parties-222670) by Politico in April 2016, the Hillary Victory Fund laundered money (http://observer.com/2016/05/wealthy-cruz-donor-pours-millions-into-clinton-campaign/) to the Clinton campaign under the pretense of funding down-ticket Democrats.

Hillary Clinton (http://observer.com/2016/01/why-hillarys-emailgate-matters/) was never elected the Democratic presidential nominee, but was touted by the Democratic Party, who said it was her turn for the presidency—rather than leaving the decision to voters. Beck & Lee’s lawsuit the first of many consequences the Democratic Party will face for manipulating millions of voters.

This is wonderful...Bill and Hill under criminal investigation, the DNC Chair in a class action suit, Attorney General Lynch and BC in an ethical breach scandal of a criminal case.

These people are running, or want to run our country?

They say that beauty is only skin deep, but this kind of ugly goes all the way to the bone.

Supporters of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders are in fight back mode after their candidate was unable to pass his opponent Hillary Clinton during the primary, by suing Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz (DWS) for fraud and negligence.

Proving that they aren't just poor losers, the 104 Bernie backers are joined in the class-action lawsuit by 17 others who claim the system of choosing a nominee for the party was rigged and its chair, long-time Clinton insider DWS, is to blame.

Filed (http://jampac.us/DNCLawsuit/) by a Miami-based law firm in the Southern District Court of Florida this week, it claims DSW lied to both the DNC and Bernie Sanders supporters over her “neutrality,” instead favoring Clinton.

Citing the DNC charter, the suit notes how the party's chair is meant to exercise and maintain “impartiality and evenhandedness” during the presidential nominating process.

Primarily basing their case on information leaked by “Guccifer 2.0” in June, which was allegedly lifted from DNC servers, claimants state that in reality, “the DNC was biased in favor of one candidate – Hillary Clinton – from the beginning and throughout the process.”

— RT (@RT_com) June 17, 2016 (https://twitter.com/RT_com/status/743626319720747008)

Lawyers say the DNC, through DWS, “devoted its considerable resources to supporting Clinton above any of the other Democratic candidates” and that it “actively concealed its bias” from its own donors as well as donors to the campaigns of Clinton’s rivals, including Sanders.

It’s argued that the “truth of the DNC’s deception” can be found in the Guccifer documents, pointing to one leaked DNC memo from 2015 which showed there was “a suggested strategy for positioning and public messaging around the 2016 Republican presidential field” and the importance of providing “a contrast between the GOP field and HRC [Hillary Rodham Clinton]," long before any Democrats cast their votes in the primary or caucuses.

The same memo also advised to “muddy the water” around “ethics, transparency and campaign finance attacks on HRC” by planting stories in the media “with no fingerprints.”

Despite Sanders already being in the race at that stage, the lawsuit says that rather than being “impartial,” DWS and the DNC made “no mention” of anyone else and built “the DNC’s election strategy on the assumption that Clinton will be the nominee, with no doubts attached.”

“The DNC devoted its resources to propelling Clinton’s candidacy ahead of all of her rivals, even if this meant working directly against the interests of Democratic Party members, including Bernie Sanders’ supporters,” reads the filing.

Lawyers are bringing a total of six counts against DWS and the DNC including fraud on the basis that “defendants knowingly made false statements and omissions” and that such conduct was “intentional, willful, wanton, and malicious.”
“Defendants’ conduct was so reckless or wanting in care that it constituted a conscious disregard or indifference to the rights of the DNC Donor Class Plaintiffs, the Sanders Donor Class Plaintiffs, and members of the DNC Donor Class and the Sanders Donor Class,” it added.

Similar accusations of “recklessness” are leveled with regard to counts of negligent misrepresentation, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty and negligence (with regard to the protection of personal and financial information of DNC donors).
The suit also claims that the donors are “consumers” of the DNC and as such have had their consumer rights breached, as outlined in Washington DC’s unlawful trade practices.

i remember... i think it was the '12 DNC convention; they resorted to a "voice vote" re whether DNC would recognize jerusalem as israHell's rightful capital; opponents & proponents cheered about equally loudly, and the chairman (name?) declared proponents had cheered more loudly, and re rammed the resolution into the platform... (((DWSchultz))) was interviewed briefly on the floor and (((she))) ridiculously said how clearly the proponents had won the voice vote; and changed the subject. :(

oh yeah; exact same thing happened re the jerusalem thing in the repug convention.
