In June of last year, attorneys Jared Beck and Elizabeth Beck of law firm Beck and Lee filed a class action law suit against the DNC and former chairwomen Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The suit claims that the DNC acted against its charter when it showed demonstrable favoritism towards Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary, and failed to secure the data of DNC donors. The suit could have massive significance for the Democratic Party and could have an even wider impact if the origin of the DNC leaks are disclosed in the proceedings.
Attorney Elizabeth Beck described the lawsuit to US Uncut:“We think that the DNC has been running absolutely out of control and completely disregarding their responsibilities, rights, and duties to the public.”
The DNC lawsuit has so far received very little press coverage, despite revealing blatant corruption in the Democratic establishment. The death of Shawn Lucas, a process server who would have been a federal witness for the Becks, added further fuel to speculations of corruption surrounding the case. Jared Beck has also stated that Seth Rich would have been a potential witness in their case.
The lawsuit has so far revealed an absolutely unabashed level of corruption in the Democratic Party establishment. Attorney Bruce Spiva stunningly argued in defense of the DNC during the latest April 25th hearing on the case: “There’s no right to not have your candidate disadvantaged or have another candidate advantaged. There’s no contractual obligation here,” Spiva further stated that the party had the right to select its candidate in any way it chooses and was “not bound by pledges of fairness.”
Spiva’s defense has proved controversial, as it effectively admits the DNC primary process was rigged, but argues that this was not illegal. Jared Beck told US Uncut that he believed their suit would prove successful based on Article 5, Section 4 of the DNC charter which explicitly requires the chair of the DNC to remain impartial during the primary.
The New York Times reported that the DNC leaks that formed the impetus for the DNC lawsuit had suggested the DNC Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz of Florida, and other officials “favored Hillary Clinton over Mr. Sanders.” The DNC leaks have also raised serious questions regarding DNC funding methods.
Disobedient Media spoke with Jared Beck, who said that the initial momentum for the case stemmed from the rigging of the primary, but added: “There’s another aspect to this case that deals with why information leaked into the public domain, and that’s also part of this very intense mystery… that a lot of us are very concerned about right now.”
Beck told Disobedient Media that in addition to the claims based on donations made to the Bernie Sanders campaign, and to the DNC, he also believed that there is a claim based on the DNC’s negligent failure to secure the data of its donors. This may be an important claim in terms of establishing why that data was released into the public (due to DNC negligence, in Beck’s view). Beck stated that he thought his team might be able to get discovery on this issue and specifically how it came to be that the data was released. Beck said that he believed the topic to currently be a very important issue right now given public interest about who leaked the DNC documents.
Beck also discussed how the DNC lawsuit’s claims regarding DNC negligence with donor data may be especially important as it relates to the unsolved murder of Seth Rich. Rich was a staffer for the DNC who died in an unsolved murder last July. In August last year Fox News reported that Wikileaks founder Julian Assange had strongly hinted that Seth Rich was the source for the DNC leaks. The Washington Post also reported that Wikileaks had offered a reward for information leading to a conviction in Seth Rich’s murder. Jared Beck has stated via twitter that Seth Rich would have been a potential witness in the DNC lawsuit.
If the Becks successfully gain the right to discovery on the origin of the DNC documents, the mystery regarding whether Seth Rich leaked the information might potentially be resolved. If Rich did indeed leak the DNC emails to Wikileaks, the ‘Russian hacking’ narrative would be utterly negated.
The Becks based their lawsuit on Guccifer2.0’s release of the information, which occurred in June last year, before Wikileaks had announced they would be releasing DNC documents. Guccifer2.0’s role in the DNC leaks was discussed in a previous report by Disobedient Media. There has been speculation that Guccifer2.0’s early release of the information was intended to smear Wikileaks and potentially Seth Rich as the leaker, by intentionally fabricating evidence of ‘Russian hacking’ in the earliest available version of the data.
Adding further questions surrounding the lawsuit was the unexpected death of Shawn Lucas, who was filmed serving defendants in the suit last July. Police reports describe how Luca’s girlfriend found him unconcious on the bathroom floor in early August. Paramedics were unable to revive him. The Becks have indicated Shawn Lucas was to be a Federal witness in the proceedings.
Jared Beck told Disobedient Media that Lucas would have served as a witness in order to rebut the defendant’s contention that process was incorrectly served. This would have included a sworn declaration from Lucas; Beck stated that footage of Lucas serving process had been introduced as evidence in the case in his stead, due to the unexpected death.
The Becks have provided Disobedient Media with copies of their communications with Washington D.C. police that include discussion regarding the body cameras worn by police as well as Shawn Lucas’ death report. Lucas’ cause of death was described by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner of Washington D.C as “Combined adverse effects of fentanyl, cyclobenzaprine, and mitragynine,” with the manner of death listed as “accident.” Fentanyl is a strong opioid pain medication, sometimes used as part of anaesthesia. Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant, while mitradynine is a substance found in Kratom.
As the case continues to be a developing story, Disobedient Media will provide further coverage of the DNC lawsuit should new facts emerge.
Republicans helping in the cover up call Rubio at 202 224-3041 and ask him why.
This Lucas guy along with Seth Rich were murdered and we all know who did that or ordered it be done.
DC is the federal capital. It is not a State. I think FBI has original jurisdiction there if they want it.
Shit about to hit the fan with a bunch of them.
Shawn Lucas and Seth Rich posed a danger to the DNC and Hillary et al ergo ‘robbery although nothing was taken and a cocktail of drugs that would disable a horse’.
Strangely the bar Seth visited that night and it’s owner visited the white house 4 days prior to Seth’ death. All four police officers at the scene had body cameras and yet they supposedly were lost. The crime scene itself had approximately 15 cameras and yet again they all were recorded over???
It was CrowdStrike that worked with the DNC and Hillary et al that came up with the Russian collusion although Dimitri Alperovich (CEO of Crowdstrike and Russian citizen) silently retracted their assessment. I strongly believe that Seth Rich and Shawn Lucas were unmasked during CrowdStrike’s assistance to and on behalf of the Hillary campaign.
Then there is Craig Murray – UK ambassador to Uzbekistan – who explained during two press conferences that the expose provided to WikiLeaks (the corruption during the primaries and the Podesta expose) were the work of intelligence insiders and angry DNC staffer. He also stated that it was he who facilitated the transfer of docs to WikiLeaks that required him to fly to Washington and make the pick-up.
Strangely – not long after WikiLeaks MacFayden – attorney for WikiLeaks – also died shorty thereafter leaving his doc stunned.
There is another person missing since 16 October 2016: Eric Bravermann, CEO/Auditor of the Clinton foundation hird by none other than Chelsea. He suppose to find irregularities of donations which mostly were not reported. Not even half into his 2-yrs contract he walked out and disappeared. His last known action was a tweet to Ron Fournier, reporter of The Nation in which he said: “Follow the money”. The WSJ expose about the millions of dollars in donations to the Clinton foundation that were not reported as stated by the WSJ.
One of the WikiLeaks email between Podesta and Tandeed labeled Bravermann ‘a snitch’.
Adding it all together one can see that all these deaths and disappearance is not by accident.
Please keep up the pressure – these victims deserve that!
Thank God for people like you.
Who cares if it is legal? The suit is about defrauding donors who supported Bernie Sanders. The DNC took their money even though the DNC had no intention of allowing Sanders, the stronger candidate, to be nominated.
Why is the FBI involved in the Seth Rich case if it is, as stated, simply a “botched robbery” ? Wouldn’t that just be a local police issue?
Bullets taken out of Seth Rich came from FBI gun. FBI is claiming it was stolen out of one of their vehicles.
Do you have a source for that? I read about the “stealing” of the guns from the FBI car – reported 10 days after the “fact” – but never read anything about the bullets being from an FBI gun. Also – has the news ever reported the sighting of “2 men” at the scene of the shooting, or were the parents the only ones who got that information?
Seth Rich was killed by the DNC because he exposed their fraud and criminality. No worries, no need to drip out your “concern” question by question, it is already breaking wide open, the family is now rejecting the “family” spokesman “assigned” to the family by the DNC (crazy! can’t make this stuff up!) and the avalanche of truth to this assassination by the FBI, covered up by the rancid and corrupt DC police, will knock you over like an avalanche and will satisfy and then some, all your concerns.
It did expose the FBI is really a bunch of half-ass stooges because they did not even try to cover their tracks.
All camera videos that monitor the streets where this happened (including exactly where it happened) were confiscated by police and no mention. It will be there if shown.
There was NOTHING taken during the alleged robbery.
Taken to hospital alive where first on call doctor said his shooting was not life threatening. Doctor comes off shift, new one comes on, floor shut down to ALL, Seth ends up dead.
Seth Rich was the DNC insider who was giving the emails to Wikileaks – (pssst, not the Russians)
Those are just a few off the top of my head, many more.
So no, not a simple “botched robbery”. It was a ‘botched murder” of a DNC staffer who exposed the criminality and fraud of the DNC and all the rats are scrambling to plug their fingers into holes of a dam getting ready to burst. lol. As criminal Hillary yelled at Donna Brazille, “If Trump wins, we ALL will be hanging from nooses!”
Stay tuned … grab yourself a HUGE bag of popcorn.
WOW.
