Sanders campaign keeps lawsuit against DNC alive

[UglyGreed]

Bernie Sanders's presidential campaign has officially served the Democratic National Committee (DNC) with its lawsuit over access to party voter files, it said Thursday in a court filing.

U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan had given the campaign a Thursday deadline to serve the DNC with the suit or risk having it dropped from federal court.

In the new filing, the campaign said the two sides "continue to engage in cooperative discussions in their efforts to resolve the pending litigation" and will keep the court updated on those discussions.

A source close to the Sanders campaign framed the latest development as a way to keep the door open for a lawsuit as the two parties wait for the results of an independent audit.

But the source believes the issue ultimately will be "resolved amicably."

"We’re dealing with the DNC on an issue where we felt that they did not deal straight with us from the beginning, so the reason to keep this in place was to make sure Sen. Sanders is treated fairly in this process," the source told The Hill.

1. Well it takes cojones to steal voter data then sue your victim

[UglyGreed]

4. John worked longer for Dems than Sanders

[NWCorona]

8. That guy was a DNC plant

[morningfog]

9. Victim?!?! LOLOL. Silly fucking season, indeed.

[upaloopa]

12. So why not start a petition to sue DWS like the one to sue Bill Clinton

That would be silly season indeed

[morningfog]

14. I don't really know what you are on about now.

I never said either of them should be sued.

[upaloopa]

15. Sorry the petition was to arrest Bill Clinton not sue him

[morningfog]

16. You have the wrong poster.

I never posted about that.

[merrily]

29. Luckily, it only takes a few secs to pull smears out of your ear.

2. Why is the investigation still going on?

[UglyGreed]

5. I don't know

but the firewall did drop twice and the Sanders camp reported it the first time. Remember VAN also had a problem in 2008................

[NWCorona]

10. I have a feeling that Bernie wants to actually get down to the bottom

Of what happened.

People take Bernie's kindness for weaknesses.

Just wait until discovery happens and the action logs are released.

[UglyGreed]

11. I hope it happens

many strange things have happened and it would be nice to see why and what has caused it all.

[NWCorona]

17. I collected a lot of info on that situation when it happened

And I'm going to pull it up when I get home as this came up again. Some super shady stuff went on between the vendor, DNC and Hillary's camp.

37. Please do. There are too many "irregularities" in this primary.

I wish Bernie were running against normal, decent, worthwhile people. It would be much nicer all the way around.

18. And then took advantage of it the second time

:small

[UglyGreed]

19. No it was this guy

next to Obama........



You know the one who both the DNC and NGP VAN recommended. Oh and NGP VAN had the same problem in 2008.....hmm what players were involved then??? Sanders??? No. Hillary Clinton and NGP VAN yes....odd.

23. Bernie should have done his homework.

How can he lead America if he's so unprepared?

[UglyGreed]

25. Well

how can the DNC and NGP VAN recommend an unsavory data thief....unless they asked the thief to be a double agent of sorts............

[arcane1]

26. How can the Democrats lead with those lame recommendations?

[merrily]

30. And, by "Sanders camp," you mean the employee the DNC recommended to Sanders?

[UglyGreed]

33. Yeah John, the guy with Obama

Edited it add: I don't know if John reported the first breach himself or if it was someone else.

[SoapBox]

3. Good!

[nc4bo]

21. Good x2 in fact, EXCELLENT! nt

[Jitter65]

6. That ought to go over big with the supers. nt

[UglyGreed]

7. Well we will

find out why your friends get all that spam from Bernie so you should be very happy.......

[merrily]

31. My son, an only child, had an imaginary friend until he was 4 or 5.

He no longer remembers having one.

But, I digress.

Whatever happened to unsubscribe?

[UglyGreed]

35. Good for him

seems you raised your son well

[merrily]

36. His imaginary friend never got spammed with emails from Bernie, tho.

[UglyGreed]

39. Funny how that

works

[merrily]

32. Then, thank heaven, it's been fixed so Bernie doesn't have to worry about losing their support!

The only ones are his side are his supporters and Democratic politicians who also refuse to take corporate paychecks. Apparently, most of those are on the state and local level.

13. K&R

[ibegurpard]

20. good

[NWCorona]

22. This stood out.

"A new order from Judge Tanya Chutkan notes that the Sanders camp never served the DNC with the lawsuit and demands that his team explain by Thursday why the case should continue. The order adds that "failure to effectuate service or to satisfactorily respond to the present order by [Thursday], may result in the dismissal of this action, without further notice.""

It looks like Sanders team never served the DNC until this week. Might get thrown out? I'd like to read the order tho

This will be interesting to follow.


The US. District Judge Tanya Chutkan is an Obama appointee

[UglyGreed]

[merrily]

27. "continue to engage in cooperative discussions" Lawyer to English translation: DNC's been stalling

[UglyGreed]
