So where is the vote flip in Kentucky?

Not holding my breath, I expected HRC to win KY BUT given the transgressions and cross contamination from WV this could be at best a tie.

That would make me happy, a tie. Kills her momentum yet again and we have the Oregon blowout to look forward to tonight.

Best to all my Bernie friends!
Cheers!

An infographic showing how to make 'Bernie Sanders Glowsticks' has been doing the rounds on Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr.

It appears, however, to be instructions for a bomb which explodes and releases chlorine gas.

According to BuzzFeed, the dangerous recipe - aimed at Bernie Sanders supporters - was first posted on a messaging board, not unlike 4Chan.

The original poster and people on the thread now seem be sharing it maliciously.

One poster wrote: "If we can gas even one Sanders supporter, we've done our job as Americans".

Deadlines loom for answers in Clinton email probe as U.S. judge sets discovery

Source: Washington Post

A federal judge on Wednesday directed State Department officials and top aides to Hillary Clinton to answer questions under oath by June 29 about whether they intentionally thwarted federal open-records laws by allowing Clinton’s use of a private email server throughout her tenure as secretary of state from 2009 to 2013.

The decision by U.S. District Judge Emmet G. Sullivan in Washington sets the stage for responses before July’s presidential nominating conventions — but does not ensure cooperation — from at least six current and former top officials, including Cheryl D. Mills, who was Clinton’s chief of staff at State; Huma Abedin, Mills’s deputy who now is vice chairman of Clinton’s Democratic presidential campaign; and Bryan Pagliano, a Clinton staff member during her 2008 presidential campaign who helped set up the private server.

While Sullivan did not permit questioning of Clinton herself for now, he wrote that the conservative legal watchdog group Judicial Watch may ask to do so later if it thinks “based on information learned during discovery, the deposition of Mrs. Clinton may be necessary.”

Sullivan’s 15-page written opinion and order came after lawyers for the government agreed to a narrowed scope of questions requested by Judicial Watch. The group filed a lawsuit over its 2013 public-records request for information concerning Abedin’s employment arrangement.
