A larger concern, Mr. Frank added, is that Mr. Sanders, by arguing the convention committees are tilted in Mrs. Clintons favor, is unfairly feeding perceptions that he is being robbed of the nomination.
Barney Frank: What troubles me is that he and some of his people are trying to build a story that when he doesnt get the nomination that he was somehow unfairly deprived of it, Mr. Frank said. Its nonsense. Shes got more pledged delegates, shes won more contests and she has millions of more votes.
This way-too-long race has taken yet an even more unexpected turn.
Team Sanders had their lawyer write up a 4-page letter that asked for the removal and disqualification of Standing Rules committee chair Barney Frank and Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy, chair of the Platform committee. Why? Because they were both critical of Bernie Sanders. They even went as far as bringing up criticism Barney Frank leveled at Bernie Sanders all the way back in 1991, 25 years ago.
