Democrats, seeking unity, give Sanders say in party platform Posted: 24 May 2016 08:11 PM PDT By Jonathan Allen NEW YORK (Reuters) - The Democratic Party said on Monday it would give U.S. presidential contender Bernie Sanders a prominent say in writing its platform this year, a gesture that could ease tensions between Sanders' camp and party leaders, whom Sanders has accused of favoring rival Hillary Clinton. Sanders has remained steadfast in his long-shot battle with Clinton for the Democratic nomination for the Nov. 8 presidential election, even though he lags her in the delegate count with only a few state contests remaining. The divisiveness among the Democrats stands in contrast to the Republicans, whose party leaders are slowly rallying behind Donald Trump, their presumptive nominee.

Trump moneyman’s shady history Posted: 24 May 2016 07:36 PM PDT One of six vice-chairs of the "Trump Victory Leadership Team," a joint fund-raising effort announced Tuesday by the Trump campaign and the Republican National Committee, pled guilty in 2009 to criminal charges involving bribes paid to top New York State officials. Elliott Broidy, a Los Angeles venture capitalist, was charged with showering nearly $1 million on gifts and favors on state officials as part of a scheme to win more than $250 million in state pension investments for the venture capital firm he then headed, Markstone Capital. He pled guilty to a felony charge of rewarding state official misconduct and faced a four-year prison term.  But the charge was downgraded to a misdemeanor, allowing him to escape jail time, after he cooperated in the state's investigation, resulting in the 2010 conviction of then state Comptroller Alan G. Hevesi. This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now

O'Reilly and Scarborough to Trump: Enough with the Clinton conspiracies! Posted: 24 May 2016 01:03 PM PDT Conservative commentators are cautioning Donald Trump not to give fuel to conspiracy theories and sordid controversies that have long swirled around Bill and Hillary Clinton after the presumptive Republican nominee called a former White House aide's suicide "fishy" and released an Instagram ad featuring audio recordings of the former president's accusers.
