Will This Guy Shut Off the Lights in the Sanders Campaign?

http://www.undp.org.fj/north-america/united-states-of-america/will-this-guy-shut-off-the-lights-in-the-sanders-campaign/

Is there an inherent conflict of interest in the likelihood that Devine's firm works with a large number of other clients who are at this time publicly supporting the Hillary political machine? Is it possible that he and Brad Deutsch, meant well initially but did not realize just how strong Bernie's campaign would be with Progressives in this election and in the midst of it decided that standing up for his campaign too fiercely might alienate other establishment Democrat clients and for Brad Deutsch might also alienate his contacts with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Bernie 2016 for president is excellent exposure for drumming up new business as long as Sanders' campaign doesn't upset the establishment candidate's coronation victory.

Lead counsel to Bernie 2016, the presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders, Brad C. Deutsch received countless emails and phone calls from Bernie supporters and responded to none of them. He wrote a number of letters complaining to the DNC about its tactics. But, when researching on line for complaints about election fraud and voter suppression and the horrific media coverage and black-outs regarding Sanders' campaign, I found nothing from Deutsch's office. Where was the push-back to the corrupt voting and the irreparable harm done by the mainstream media? I sent him a copy of the letter, now on opednews.com, written to Preet Bharara about the fraudulent New York Primary and the need for a redo

US Attorney for Southern NY Preet Bharara Requested to Lead Drive for Redo of New York Primary

"Oh What a Tangled Web We Weave When First We Practice to Deceive." The (Un)Democratic New York Primary

http://www.opednews.com/articles/Oh-What-a-Tangled-Web-We-by-Alison-Landes-California-Primary-2016_California-Primary-Has-Almost-3-Million-Uncounted-_Election-Fraud_Election-Fraud-160616-116.html

no-one heard back from either Bharara or Vance.

Before joining Garvey Schubert Barer Law as an owner in 2014, Deutsch was at the Federal Election Commission (FEC) for more than 10 years where he also worked as chief counsel to Commissioner Steven Walther. Earlier in his career he was an associate at a firm where he often worked on matters concerning the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Deutsch was hired by the Sanders campaign when it started up in April 2015. When asked, he said he was referred to Sanders by a colleague whom he declined to identify. Why?

It's not surprising that with all these credentials and experience with the FEC and the FCC, Deutsch had written several letters to the DNC complaining about its tactics including the legitimacy of the Hillary Victory Fund and the likelihood that it may have violated campaign-finance laws. But when searching on line for complaints about voter suppression, election fraud, horrific media coverage and black-outs I found nothing from Deutsch's office to either the FEC or the FCC regarding Sanders' campaign.

Brad Deutsch, has 3 areas of specialty; Political Law, Communications Law and the Cannibis Industry. His practice is substantially involved with Communications Law, inclusive of media representation, radio and television stations, regulatory compliance with the FCC, and so forth. Working as Bernie's attorney was an excellent platform to make contacts for his law firm. Was there a conflict of interest? Was there any problem with speaking out or criticizing the Associated Press or other television and media outlets for treating Bernie unfairly when a substantial part of your practice is Communications Law?

Deutsch and two of his associates authored a free downloadable guidebook for people selling political ads. In fact, the same press release copied below, dated February 16, 2016 announcing the free guidebook noted that Deutsch would be speaking on the topic of campaign finance and the 2016 election on February 17, 2016 in Washington, DC. For more details interested parties were directed to the American Bar Association (ABA) website. Was there any conflict of interest between criticizing the media and prospecting for new media clients?
