Senator Bernie Sanders supporters see more than a FBI investigation, it is about trust. They have not received representation to the extent they have found it in Senator Sanders. This is the generation the USA turned it's back on. It is going to be very, very difficult to win their vote.
The Democrats are going to be faced with a movement that can mirror the Tea Party. This is just the beginning, but, these young voters do not see their interest in ANY establishment candidate.
Let's review:
"Occupy Wall Street" is real. This is not a temper tantrum. It is not naïve people that don't understand the delicacy of power in the USA. These folks are well aware of their reality and it is anchored in facts they face everyday. They did their hard work already. They attended colleges and universities across this country and are still waiting tables.
The reality of the well educated waiters or waitresses is not new, what is new is the fact this is an entire generation. I remember a young woman sitting in Zuccotti Park telling a story that a person from a Wall Street firm in one of the surrounding buildings came to her after reviewing her resume. She was offered a job. She stated, "I have been offered the chance of a lifetime and I intend to go forward with my new employment. I will never forget the people here in the park and will work for them on my own time to help change their reality."

Ahead of Tuesday’s key primaries, (click here) supporters of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders gathered in Zuccotti Park in New York City to call voters in Illinois, Florida and Ohio. Many of the phone bankers were former Occupy Wall Street activists who returned to the site of the 2011 encampment because they saw parallels between Occupy and Sanders’ message. "We were really inspired by the incredible amount of grassroots momentum and energy that’s been inspired by the Sanders campaign and its critique of Wall Street, of money in politics and a rigged economy," said Beka Economopoulos, a former Occupy activist who helped organize the phone bank. But other Occupy activists disagreed with what they saw as the co-opting of the movement; they staged a "mic check," using Occupy’s signature call-and-response to say the movement should remain independent of political candidates. Democracy Now!’s Amy Littlefield and Charina Nadura filed a report from Zuccotti Park....
Just to note about Zucotti Park:
It is "Ground Zero" for this generation. The owners of Zuccotti Park should allow a plaque to be established to honor the generation that said, "No more." The idea they can be ignored is a folly. They are great people and they expect the government to work for them in the face of establishment cronyism. They are a generation that have found a path in the USA and until Senator Sanders their interest in politics was zero. They sat out the 2014 election when they could have changed the majority in the US Senate. They don't care about the establishment and why should they, no one is celebrating them, except, Senator Sanders.
Some of these demonstrators have been run off their occupation sites because of the establishment finding them lawless rather than embracing their message. They have been lied about as rapists and druggies in the media. They work their cyber reality in ways no one could imagine. There are members of this generation actually injured that required time in the hospital. Their strength is in their numbers and their numbers can only be registered through cyber space. They live a cutting edge in cyber. They find jobs and network to attend rally like atmospheres where food trucks have come to represent their generation's "Night out on the town."
This election is sincerely a curiosity to establishment candidates. The 'old power standard' that comes with big money donors DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. This generation is redefining "citizen." I envy them. Every politician needs to recognize this generation with promises to carry out government reforms to end corruption and promote the country first over Wall Street. Corruption has cast this generation into a corner of the American society that leaves them unwanted in employment. We have had enough and their plight tugs at the heart strings of many in previous generations. Until those few that began national attention to Occupy Wall Street their parent's generation didn't have a clue. Their parents have had their own awakening in 2008, but, the abandonment of this generation is new.
Their loyalties are not going to change. They are loyal to Bernie Sanders and their investment into him. He lives a nightmare as a US legislator this country cast on them. Why would they change their minds or settle for less than what they demand?

The CIA officer whose identity (click here) was leaked to reporters sued Vice President Dick Cheney, his former top aide and presidential adviser Karl Rove on Thursday, accusing them and other White House officials of conspiring to destroy her career.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Valerie Plame and her husband, Joseph Wilson, a former U.S. ambassador, accused Cheney, Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby of revealing Plame's CIA identity in seeking revenge against Wilson for criticizing the Bush administration's motives in Iraq.
Several news organizations wrote about Plame after syndicated columnist Robert Novak named her in a column on July 14, 2003. Novak's column appeared eight days after Wilson alleged in an opinion piece in The New York Times that the administration had twisted prewar intelligence on Iraq to justify going to war.
The CIA had sent Wilson to Niger in early 2002 to determine whether there was any truth to reports that Saddam Hussein's government had tried to buy yellowcake uranium from Niger to make a nuclear weapon. Wilson discounted the reports, but the allegation nevertheless wound up in President Bush's 2003 State of the Union address....
