In reply to the discussion: Florida judge dismisses fraud lawsuit against DNC [View all]Hamlette
(15,556 posts)55. agree
his interview in NYPost was the end for me. He was asked how he would break up the banks, one of his big issues, he said he'd have the Treasury secretary do it. When told Treasury didn't have the power he said he'd find someone who did. No one has that power. There are some things that could be done, by law, to encourage banks to break up or be more stable (make them retain more cash) but it was clear he had never thought this through.
And his legislative history is pretty wanting. What has he ever done?
Sorry, I like him "personally" but he might have been a disaster.

The lawsuit was ridiculous, as is the claim that the DNC somehow rigged the primaries. (eom)

As I said in another post, I haven't paid any attention to the motion for protection.

You don't want to see the motion. I get it. Would make it pretty hard for you to defend them

Yes, I understand that breach of fiduciary duty was one claim against the DNC.

Those plantiffs didn't even read the DNC charter that they claimed to be deceived/defrauded by.

Whatever ends an expensive, frivolous, pointless lawsuit earlier is sometimes what you have to do.
