The ongoing barrage of tweets and crap on the problems in the Democratic party got me to thinking.
Trump has called for investigation into the Democratic party.
I always thought the parties were private and thus how could the federal government get involved in their internal squabbles.
Seems it is a mix...
"Political parties have long occupied an uncertain place in American constitutional law. Parties were not mentioned in the Constitution and developed largely outside the constitutional system. As a consequence, they have grown to possess attributes of both public and private organizations and undertake activities associated with both types of organizations."
The Parties in Court: American Political Parties under the Constitution: Robert C. Wigton: 9780739189672: Amazon.com: Books
But this stands out.....
"If there is an area in which political parties should have self-determination, it is in deciding who their candidates for office are, especially their nominees for U.S. president."

So, it appears that those who want some kind of investigation or Justice Department involvement are working on a premise that is not correct, and to this thread.....as stated a few times on here....
This is an internal squabble, and as if it were the Republicans it is a private squabble, even though the consequences are serious.
But it surely explains why no national news coverage.
You guys who keep score by cable and news mentions should get a life....do some more reading. While I get angry at times at the media, they do an outstanding job and all the crap you give them is just plain stupid and self serving. They do not lie
If you do not like some opinions, say that, but stop with the condemnation of the media in one big lump. It is sophmoric and just plain stupid.
