Case Brief

Violation: A Committee Forged in Secret

The 2020 DNC MOU mandated an open, caucus-driven process. The evidence proves this mandate was violated in two fundamental ways: first, organizers strategically excluded 75% of the required minority caucuses through a selective non-formation. Second, the official tasked with ensuring compliance breached her duty, using a secret script to install a pre-selected slate of leaders.

The 2020 DNC MOU legally required an open, caucus-driven process. These proofs show how organizers executed a premeditated plan to circumvent that mandate. The failure to form 75% of the required racial caucuses was not an oversight, but a strategic choice, evidenced by the organizers' simultaneous success in forming caucuses for their allies. Using a secret 'do not share' script, they inverted the required process, and the MOU's own compliance officer breached her fiduciary duty by orchestrating her own appointment to a position of procedural power. The documentary evidence reveals a pattern of intentional non-compliance.

Key Findings

  • The failure to form three of the four mandated racial caucuses was a strategic choice, proven by the organizers' ability to form other caucuses for their allies in the same period.
  • A secret script, authored and distributed by the MOU compliance officer, proves premeditated control by choreographing nominations, granting one individual preferential treatment, and orchestrating the author's own installation as Parliamentarian.
  • The official tasked under the MOU with ensuring a fair process instead breached her duty, using her authority to corrupt the committee's formation for her own benefit.

Documented Violations

2 incidents traced in this record

Violation: Strategic and Selective Exclusion of Minority Caucuses

Organizers failed to form 75% of the required racial caucuses while successfully forming other caucuses for their political allies in the same timeframe.

The DNC agreement required the formation of specific racial caucuses before leadership was selected. Organizers failed to form the AAPI, Latino, and Native American caucuses. This was a strategic choice, not an inability to act, proven by their success in forming other caucuses and their active interference in the formation of the Indigenous Caucus.

ConsequenceThree racial communities were disenfranchised from the committee's formation through a deliberate and selective process.

  • Organizers successfully formed caucuses for their allies during the same period.
  • They failed to form three of the four required racial caucuses before installing leadership.
  • Evidence shows organizers actively interfered in the Indigenous Caucus formation by selectively contacting members.
  • The targeted Indigenous Caucus was later denied seats on key subcommittees.

Violation: Breach of Duty and a Pre-Scripted Election

The MOU's appointed compliance officer, Selina Vickers, authored a secret script marked 'do not share' that dictated a pre-arranged slate of leaders, including herself.

The official tasked under the MOU with ensuring a fair process, Selina Vickers, breached her fiduciary duty. She authored a detailed script that dictated the meeting's key events, granted a preferential nomination to one favored individual, and orchestrated her own appointment as Parliamentarian. The instruction to keep the script secret demonstrates consciousness of wrongdoing.

ConsequenceThe official tasked with ensuring a fair process instead engineered a corrupt one that guaranteed her own appointment to a position of power, rendering the election a sham.

  • A script marked 'DRAFT SCRIPT - do not share' proves the process was concealed.
  • The script dictated a pre-arranged slate, specifying who would nominate whom.
  • It granted a preferential nomination for a representative of the unformed Latino Caucus.
  • The script's author directed her own nomination to the key role of Parliamentarian.
  • This action constituted a direct breach of her duty under the MOU.

A Foundationally Corrupt Process

The evidence does not suggest procedural error; it documents a deliberate circumvention of established rules. The selective exclusion of mandated caucuses and the use of a secret script to control the outcome prove a pattern of conduct that rendered the committee's formation illegitimate under the terms of the governing DNC MOU.
