So I'd say yes, violations of the DNC Charter's bylaws did occur in the primary nominating process, based on the content of the emails and other documents from wikileaks/Guccifer2

The DNC didn't break any rules. Why are you trying to re-litigate the primary? DanTex Jul 2016 #2
So all these news stories I'm reading in the main stream press are lies? think Jul 2016 #3
No, just your spin on them. DanTex Jul 2016 #4
Released Emails Suggest the D.N.C. Derided the Sanders Campaign think Jul 2016 #5
Funny, the phrase "breaking the rules" appears nowhere in the article. DanTex Jul 2016 #8
Section 4, Article Five of the DNC Charter Bylaws: Triana Jul 2016 #45
I don't see the rule violations. And I don't see the point in re-litigating the primary. DanTex Jul 2016 #56
You claimed there were none. There are. Reading the emails leaked and the bylaws, there clearly are. Triana Jul 2016 #62
I said the NYT article didn't mention rules. And I was right. DanTex Jul 2016 #66

DNC ByLaws are not a "conspiracy". They really exist. I assume for a reason. Triana Jul 2016 #71
You inferred that because the NYT article didn't mention rules, none were broken/existed/violated Triana Jul 2016 #69
I stated that the NYT article didn't mention the rules, contrary to what DanTex Jul 2016 #73
Right! TeacherB87 Jul 2016 #84

Perhaps because some of them get funding from Russia? And Putin knows a weak nitwit when he sees MADem Jul 2016 #13
