DNC Lawsuit Exposes Corruption, Data Breaches, Raises Questions About Death Of Shawn Lucas
Via Disobedient Media 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.

US Sends Troops To Syria: Here Are The Questions The Media Should Be Asking
