Donors File Lawsuit Against DNC for Rigging Election Against Sanders

But Hillary was such a good candidate....

This is the most hilarious news that you haven't heard about. The donors to Bernie Sanders's Presidential campaign are not happy at what they perceived to be the "rigging of the system" against their candidate... and they're using the law to make their point. Newsweek reports about a new class-action lawsuit that the mainstream media have scarcely mentioned:

A class action lawsuit alleging the Democratic National Committee worked in conjunction with Hillary Clinton's 2016 campaign to keep Bernie Sanders out of the White House has been raging on in the courtrooms for months on end–and yet, most people have no idea of its existence, in large part thanks to the mainstream media's total lack of coverage.

Jared Beck, a Harvard Law graduate and one of the several attorneys who filed the suit against the DNC and its former chairperson Debbie Wasserman Schultz, wants retribution for donations made by supporters to the Vermont senator's campaign, citing six legal claims of the DNC’s deceptive conduct, negligent misrepresentation and fraud. The DNC violated Article 5, Section 4 of its own charter by working with a single campaign to effectively choose who would win the Democratic ballot, the attorneys stated in the suit. 

Here's the best part of the piece, but not if you're a Bernie Bro:

The most recent court hearing on the case was held on April 25, during which the DNC reportedly argued that the organization's neutrality among Democratic campaigns during the primaries was merely a "political promise," and therefore it had no legal obligations to remain impartial throughout the process.

This is just amazing. The whole nation realized this sort of unfair jockeying against Sanders was happening in plain sight, and the DNC rarely suffers any consequences to their misdeeds -- well, if you don't count the knockout that happened in November 2016. I think Charles Glasser's prayer over at Instapundit might sum up many of our feelings. "Oh dear Lord, we beseech thee," he wrote, "Let this case survive a motion to dismiss and go to discovery."
