The 2016 US election cycle has been a tumultuous one with Donald Trump rising to a level of power many didn't believe possible and the Guccifer 2.0 leak revealing widespread collusion throughout the DNC to ensure Hillary Clinton claims the presidential nomination.
The release of these emails seems to have nicked a final nerve for some as the JAM PAC has decided to file suit (All document can be found here) against DNC Chair Debbie Schultz for (among other things) favoring Hillary Clinton during the Democratic Primaries, despite DNC bylaws requiring an impartial process.
The lawsuit states:
The DNC Memo also advises that the DNC, “[u]se specific hits to muddy the waters around ethics, transparency and campaign finance attacks on HRC.” In order to “muddy the waters” around Clinton’s perceived vulnerabilities, the DNC >Memo suggests “several different methods” of attack including: (a) “[w]orking through the DNC” to “utilize reporters” and create stories in the media “with no fingerprints”; (b) “prep[ping]” reporters for interviews with GOP candidates and having off-the-record conversations with them; (c) making use of social media attacks; and (d) using the DNC to “insert our messaging” into Republican-favorable press.
The DNC memo mentioned above was released in the Guccifer 2.0 leak titled "2016 GOP presidential candidates" and can be seen here.
The HRC mentioned refers to "Hillary Rodham Clinton".
The outcome of this lawsuit will be an important turning point for democracy in the US.
