I sort of half-way agree with you on this, Gryph.
Bernie is bound to have known what was going on, at least, partially.
He wimped out or was bought out, imo, because, quite simply put, he didn't fight back. He didn't expose the Democrat Machine for what it is....dishonest, underhanded, theiving, lying, stealing, money-laundering, mafioso-like criminal enterprise.
He caved....then bought a nice lake house for a third home.

So I have gone through this thread now and why do you keep copy pasting this like it actually proves your point?
Because the information in that brief is from the DNC lawyers during their defense. D. Brazile has said the same thing.
Why are you ignoring the very people who would know for certain what occurred?
Or, like I asked Gryphon66 who still cant support it - what info do you have that shows you are right and the DNC lawyers and former chair of the DNC are wrong?

It's obvious what happened. "They" wanted Trump to win and knew he couldn't beat Bernie. Since "they" control everything they allowed the RNC to dictate what happened in the DNC, thus accomplishing their goals of getting Trump in the White House and dividing us Americans. Wake up people.

I don't see how Bernie could have won. The Bible belt would have never voted for him.

Well, will wonders never cease? LOL
Actually, while I don't disagree with you about Sanders' motivations ... I'm really not commenting on his or Clinton's preferability. Bernie's about the closet thing that we have to a genuine leftist in Congress ... and unlike what many here would assume, I don't think that far left economic policies are the best for the country. We're a mixed economy, and we need to stay that way. I'd love to see us get back under budget and start working on the deficit ... but that's neither here nor there.
Sanders took a shot. He increased his national recognition level. I've been unable to quantify his financial contributions to the party, but the fact is that if what Donna Brasille is saying is true, Clinton subsidized not only her campaign but also, to some extent, Bernie's by keeping the DNC afloat.
I am not a fan of the way the two-party system works in this country. I would much prefer a more direct democratic method. The fact remains, however, that there is nothing here, and no evidence, that Sanders was "cheated" out of votes or the nomination.
Perhaps this is what I need to say: it is obvious that the Party leadership preferred Clinton. However, if the rank-and-file members had chosen Bernie, it would have been very difficult to justify overriding that.

Biden was probably cheated more than Bernie. Who knows what went down to keep him from running.

If it wasn't for Senator Elizabeth Warren confirming that Hillary scammed the nomination, the MSM would not have covered the story.
Tonight, the CBS Evening News has a segment. Not sure what it will say though.
Tulsi Gabbard (D-Hawaii), a former vice chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), called the 2016 Democratic primary "unethical" on Thursday in response to an exposé on the party's ties to the Clinton campaign."Today we heard from Donna Brazile that what many suspected for a long time, is actually true: the DNC secretly chose their nominee over a year before the primary elections even occurred, turning over DNC control to the Clinton campaign," Gabbard said in a statement Thursday, calling the 2016 primary "rigged.""The deep financial debt, closed door decision-making, complete lack of transparency, and unethical practices are now front and center," she added.
