PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania — Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) adopted a slogan from the Republican National Convention in their protests against presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton on Sunday: “Lock her up!” The Wall Street Journal reports:
At a lively Sunday march in support of former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, chants of “lock her up,” “Hillary for Prison” signs and t-shirts and calls for indictment were common among the most ardent supporters of Mr. Sanders, who arrived in Philadelphia to make their voices heard to the delegates attending the Democratic National Convention.
“Hillary for Prison” shirts and bumper stickers have proliferated across the country.
The Journal further notes that “attendees were more than eager to list the reasons that Mrs. Clinton deserved to be incarcerated,” and were quite capable of doing so.
The chant, which originated on the floor of the Republican gathering in Cleveland, refers to Clinton’s non-indictment for mis-handling classified information. FBI director James Comey said earlier this month that while Clinton had been “extremely reckless” with national security secrets on her private and unauthorized email server, and that they had likely broken the law, they did not have the requisite criminal intent to sustain prosecution.
Critics noted that the relevant statute has no “intent” requirement.
The chant has been adopted by the remaining holdouts for Sanders, even though the Vermont senator ended his campaign and endorsed Hillary Clinton several weeks ago.

Should start sometime mid Jan.
I heard they were also chanting, “ Hell no DNC we won’t vote for Hillary!”
For some reason the reporter didn't seem to pick up on her comment.
Anyone else hear the comment?
Hillary rewards DWS with campaign chair position, added bonus DWS never has to worry about email problems again because of Clintons magic server wiping cloth.
Wait now only rightwing media is reporting this... the leftwing media is trashing Trump, trying to create some kind of Putin Trump alliance and still saying how dark Trumps speech was...
I know the liberal media forgot all about 2012 Obama open mic telling medeved to tell PUtin after election he will be more flexible.
Yeh, I was one of those left idealists 30 years ago.
I voted for Paul Simon in the ‘88 Dem Primary. But by ‘92, I was firmly on the right.
Ironically, Trump has more in common with Simon than Obama or Clinton. His liberalism was of the old, plainspoken New Deal variety, not the deceptive and elitist modern incarnation.
Our country is now so corrupt that both conventions threatened to dissolve in tatters. Trump supporters held theirs together and the people won. I wonder what will happen in Philly.
You obviously don’t know how conventions used to be, this is tame.
This couldnt get any better for Trump, its really his race to lose at this point.
"Ceterum censeo Hillary esse delendam."
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!

I’ve been watching since the first one on TV. They were nothing compared with this. Or maybe you mean pre-TV.
My point was the government corruption that guarantees this kind of chaos at a convention. At this stage, anyway. We never had the outright lies broadcast worldwide, the bribery, the fraud, the murder.
Trump was right: They tried to rig his primary and convention, and failed. They may have failed this week too, and we will see Bernie claim his rightful place.
LOL!
The difference between Bernie and Hillary boils down to this: Bernie Sanders is foolish and misguided on almost every issue. He's not an evil or corrupt person, he's just wrong most of the time.
In contrast, Hillary Clinton is a pathological liar and a political opportunist with no core principles other than her own ambition.
I don't have any personal ill-will towards a foolish but basically honest person. I have plenty of hatred to spare for manipulative crooks, however.
“Even if I disagree with them on many issues, some of the Sandersbots seem like good people.”
AS Charles Caleb Colon wrote, “He that is good, will infallibly become better, and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse; for vice, virtue and time are three things that never stand still.”
It is a much shorter step than people imagine from Bernie supporter to executioner in the killing fields.
This is great news, and I look forward to further revelations of this type. I have a feeling a good portion of Sanders voters will stay home in November, and justifiably so. They probably feel the same way as we would have felt if the RNC got its way and managed to rig the primaries for Jeb as effectively as the DNC rigged things for Hillary.
“Our country is now so corrupt that both conventions threatened to dissolve in tatters.”
WRT the RNC, that was just the evilstream misleadia trying to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Remember the black supremacists crying about their low turnout? The danger turns out to have been illusory.

The DNC may be quite the place this week to "see how not to hold a convention"...
However, I have concern that this may cause problems for other issues with all the Wikileaks and talk about Hillary/Wasserman corruption...
