Progressives have an unusual ally in the effort to root out the corruption in the DNC - Republicans.



The most recent court hearing on the class action lawsuit filed against the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and former DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz on behalf of Sen. Bernie Sanders supporters occurred in late April 2017 when a federal court judge in South Florida heard arguments from DNC attorneys and Attorney Jared Beck for why the court should move forward on the case. That decision is still pending, but on July 27 Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee wrote a seven page letter to the Department of Justice seeking a special counsel probe into several aspects of Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

The letter mostly focuses on a partisan witchhunt against Hillary, which is all poor-winner, water-under-the-bridge as far as I'm concerned. However, there was an addendum in that letter.



Along with the letter, Republicans listed 14 requests for a special counsel to investigate “inappropriate collusion between the DNC and Clinton Campaign to undermine Senator Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign.” Though Sen. Bernie Sanders has largely avoided demanding accountability from the DNC and Democratic Party for rigging the primaries for Clinton, the class action lawsuit against the DNC and Debbie Wasserman Schultz has revealed the corruption rampant in the Democratic Party.

The DoJ hasn't responded to the letter yet.

Corruption is dogging the Democratic Party.

Corruption Scandals Are Piling Up for Democrats

Incidences of dirty politics on every level overwhelm

To give you an idea, the DNC lawsuit is not the lead of the article.

It's paragraph number five.

Right now, corruption is the Number One problem for the Dems, and if they don't do something about it now they won't be winning back the House in 2018.
