Here is the link to the letter:
(Turns out it was more than a link!)
http://www.ctpost.com/local/article/Sanders-calls-for-Malloy-s-ouster-from-7950728.php
A lawyer for the Vermont senator sent a four-page letter Friday to convention officials challenging the credentials of Malloy to serve as co-chairman of the platform committee.
The letter singled-out Malloy and former Massachusetts Congressman Barney Frank, who was tapped as co-chairman of the rules committee for the July convention in Philadelphia.
Gov. Malloy and Mr. Frank have both been aggressive attack surrogates for the Clinton campaign, wrote Brad Deutsch, the legal counsel for the Sanders campaign. Their criticisms of Senator Sanders have gone beyond the dispassionate ideological disagreement and have exposed a deeper professional, political and personal hostility toward the Senator and his Campaign.

And here is the Barney Frank interview that Sanders lawyer is referring to.

Yeah, but I dont think anybody is really against her because she wont. By the way, I think Sanders has been outrageously McCarthyite on that.
McCarthyite?
Yes, I saw one commercial that said the big companies werent punished. Why? Well, maybe its because Hillary is getting speaking fees. So the secretary of state should have been indicting people? I mean, yes, McCarthyite in the sense that its guilt by association. He complains about what she did with regards to all this money stuff. Wheres the beef of that?
OK
What Sanders basically says is, Theyre trying to bribe you. Well what do they get for money? He shows nothing.
There have been a couple of cases of Republican senators trying to weaken the Dodd-Frank Act. Elizabeth Warren has been a much more successful defender of that bill than Sen. Sanders has been.

(90,829 posts)He's making one demand after another. At what point will he be satisfied? My guess is never. He's going to sue again, isn't he?
He can officially go to Hell for trying to wreck the Democratic Convention and give the election to Donald Trump. This puts us all in danger.
Godsdammit.
For all you lurkers out there:
I would have never said one critical word about Bernie Sanders if he and his followers had played fair from the beginning, had not whined about "the system being rigged against them," had not bitten the hand that feeds them, had respected the rules, and had not condoned sending emails, tweets, and voice mails full of lewd language and death threats to Democratic women who dared to support Hillary. Instead we have an upcoming clusterbomb of a National Convention courtesy of Bernard Sanders and his minions and they are working as hard as they can to make it so.
JURY: This is a protected Group and this is my personal opinion. Let me stew for awhile.

Gov O'Malley is no different, of course.. and I didn't put it past him.
BS gets nothing but his Karma and I cannot wait for it to happen for his Ego-maniacal disingenuous BS.
Thank you for this, pnwmom.. It's shows explicitly what a bunch of Losers BS and his hot mess of a team are.
