    Almost 6 months and no one has been charged yet? WOW! Looks like a major Federal Elections Commission law violation to me...and by the #2 ranking Democrat in the House. All the Bernie Bro's out there should be livid. This happened and even worse to Sanders. They should all be screaming at Jeff Sessions to appoint a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of what happened not only to Tillemann, but to Sanders as well. It appears the Democrat party couldn't give a rats backside what the voters want, they're going to anoint whomever they want. The only way you can get justice for Tillerman and Bernie is to withhold funds to the National DNC and just donate personally to whom you want in office. it will remove their poser to do another hatchet job like they did on poor Uncle Bernie.

    I am sure that all major TV networks have suspended regular programming for 24/7 coverage of this epic threat to The Republic.

    The Free Beacon? :roflol:

    Next. :bored:

    The left doesn't care if it involves people on their side.

    The FAILURE of the FEC to do anything is ENTIRELY the fault of the Senate GOP and your beloved BLOTUS!

    The GOP Senate REFUSED to confirm any Obama FEC Commissioner nominations and your incompetent BLOTUS has FAILED to nominate any at all.

    Without FEC Commissioners NOTHING is going to get done so the BLAME is ALL on the Republican side for this FAILURE.

    BTW this is OLD NEWS. @Zorro has been whining about the same thing and was already provided with all the FACTS as to the abysmal failure of the GOP and your BLOTUS.

    I see you conveniently left out the fact that Ellen Weintraub's six-year term expired 11 years ago, when George W. Bush occupied the White House, and The Kenyan skidmark failed to appoint her successor for 8 entire years!

    Commissioner Steve Walther (nine years), Commissioner Matthew Petersen (seven years) and Chairwoman Caroline Hunter (five years) have also stayed aboard long after they should have been out of a job. The Kenyan skidmark failed to appoint their successors either!

    As soon as one more drops, with 4 required to make a decision, I guess they are caput?

    How hypocritical to hold Trump responsible for 8 years of Obama failure to fill failures on the FEC.

    4 of the 6 seats are filled.

    All 4 members were appointed during Bush's time.. Obama NOR Trump has filled a seat or replaced anyone.

    Irrelevant non sequiturs do not alter the FACTS that the GOP Senate and your beloved BLOTUS are 100% RESPONSIBLE for the CURRENT situation with the FEC.

    Obama could only nominate, the GOP senate failed to confirm or even deny for that matter.

    I also fail to see what is illegal about a party leadership trying to discourage someone from running against a preferred candidate. If it were why then are not the republican leadership up for the same scrutiny over what just transpired in W. Virginia?

    I believe it violates the law if they give money to a preferred candidate but not the other.

    Remember Sanders filed suit against the DNC when he was denied access to Dem voter registries. The DNC moved quickly to quash the lawsuit. PR I'm sure was a factor, but even as an (I) Bernie had a legitimate grievance. Bernie should have held out for more than a $475K vacation home. Hillary blew $1 bn running a lousy campaign, and has done nothing to help preserve the party's reputation.

    This kind of conversation is perfectly normal in politics and goes on all the time, particularly in the runup to an election.

    By your defective standard, you should have been outraged when Trump tweeted that people ought not vote for Blankenship in the West Virginia election.

    But, you sat silent on that.

    The Trumpster hypocracy meter stays in the red zone!

    There isn't anything illegal about it. It's a completely normal converstation in politics. I have had many conversations just like it.

    As if it the OP or any of his Trumpster friend cares one whit about Bernie Sanders voters.

    There are no election law violations discussed here.

    I realize that you don't undertand the political process and go to lengths to keep it that way.

    But there is nothing unusual about this at all.

    Primaries are NOT the will of the people. Never have been and never will be.
