LebaneseDude 6,146 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Via Daily Kos The Federal Elections Commission released a letter to the Bernie Sanders campaign detailing campaign finance issues they have with his campaign with the latest forms Bernie 2016 filed. Now to be fair to Bernie, his campaign has refunded some of the people who donated more than $2,700 back in December and January, however there have been no listed refunds since then. Attachment page 1 through the top of 595 are all donations that are above the $2,700.00 limit that have yet to be refunded. A lot of this is people making multiple donations and they may not realize they hit the $2,700 limit Now the fun part comes from pages 595 through 638 which are all foreign donations to the campaign Just so everyone’s aware this is not just a problem with Bernie’s March filings, he also had a problem back with his February filing as well. In February he had a 264 page attachment with all his campaigns illegal donations received. That attachment has pages 1-241 have illegal donations over $2,700 that were not refunded and pages 241-263 of illegal donations and again the last page was money returned without an itemized reason. By the way these are problems that Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump do not have at all. This is a uniquely Bernie Sanders problem, one that brings questions about his understanding of campaign finance laws, his team’s understanding of those same laws and whether or not there is a knowing plan to deceive the FEC in order to raise funds. This is why a Bernie Sanders campaign is dangerous because he and his team are making such rookie mistakes that it brings into question things that should not be questions. How can Bernie rally against Wall Street when it is clear he and his team have no clue how to follow existing laws. How can Bernie complain about money in politics when it’s obvious he and his team have no clue how to follow those existing laws. Or is Bernie saying money in politics, through any means necessary, is good for him but not for anyone else which is a similar stance from his campaign on superdelegates. Also while Bernie complains about what the Hillary Victory Fund and SuperPACs do with their money, he is actively violating campaign finance laws and the only question that remains here is is he doing it willing, is a member of his team doing it willingly and which person will fall on the sword when it comes time to answer questions about how much fraud is going on in the Bernie 2016 campaign Edited just now by LebaneseDude.

Whispering 18,865 Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Explains why Bernie has no idea how to shut down the big banks, who would or could do it, what to replace them with and the long term implications of doing so. Nor does he understand how to finance his big unrealistic ideas that he pushes in every stump speech. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes because 600+ pages of violations are honest mistakes. An entire 100 pages are devoted to foreign donations which are explicitly illegal. He can get indicted for this if he doesn't issue refunds ASAP. Of course that would bankrupt his campaign Edited just now by LebaneseDude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few, which is to be expected. This is a problem that only pertains to Bernie's campaign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
