HRC GROUP!

[Koinos]

1. Why am I not surprised?

[workinclasszero]

2. Say what?? Really??

Jane better get off all those shows insulting Hillary and get crackin on those tax returns!

[Her Sister]

5. This is related to the FEC in this case.

Their deadline was May 11th and now they're asking for an extension for after June 7th to answer about the 10 million mystery donation, foreign donations, excessive donations...

edit: Yes I too WANT BS & JS to RELEASE THE TAXES!

[workinclasszero]

10. Oh my mistake

I didn't know they were hiding even more financial information. SMH

Its hard to keep up with it all.

[pandr32]

19. Hmmmmm....Lots to answer for

...and citing the campaign schedule is a poor, but interesting excuse. Perhaps this is another reason Sanders wants to continue to run.

[displacedtexan]

3. Campaign finance people have one freakin' job.

Record where the money came from, how much you took in, how much you have left after spending some of it, and file a report.

[Her Sister]

34. This Deutsch person is the same that accused the HRC Campaign the night before NY primary

of FEC violations!

[LisaM]

35. The campaign finance people are probably pissed at this point.

It's got to be a nightmare to track all those multiple small donations. Sure, it sounds good in theory, but people are donating like $3 at a time. I can't imagine that the accountants are very amused. They should have been better prepared for it, I guess, but I sure wouldn't want to add up 20 small donations from one person instead of one, larger one, even if it sounds better to say that all the campaign donations are small. And to make it worse, they are all in odd denominations like $3 or $27.

[jmowreader]

37. They have computers now

A halfway decent database programmer could make a DBMS that would sort donors, add up their contributions and reject extralegal donations.

Hiring a halfway decent database programmer would have cut down on the amount of money they could have spent on Tad and the Troll Army, which is why they didn't do it.

[displacedtexan]

43. In every county Dem HQ, every penny is recorded for tax purposes.

Every time you buy a damned $.50 campaign button, your name, address, amount "donated," and the date are logged into the financial record for each office. And the person who handed you the button and took your money has to sign the log book.

This is how Democrats do things. I don't know how Berniecrats roll.

[sufrommich]

4. Why would his campaign schedule matter?

He doesn't actually have to do the filing himself.

[Her Sister]

6. Probably not wanting to explain till after the election primaries are over!!!

[Haveadream]

20. Yep. By the time that happens, no one will care

People are already starting to not pay attention to Sanders. Bernie, your 15 minutes are up.


?rlvnet=1

[George II]

42. Maybe he's hoping he won't have to file the report after he's out on June 7?

[CrowCityDem]

7. Yup. Transparency and honesty only apply to whoever Bernie is running against.

[workinclasszero]

12. You got it.

[IamMab]

8. The end of the Sanders grift can't come soon enough. nt

[Cha]

9. bernie bernie bernie .. what have you and those three geniuses gotten yourselves into?

HS

[Koinos]

11. Lots of missing paperwork, I'm sure.

[Her Sister]

13. Weird! Not wanting to release taxes and all the FEC violations

Where is the transparency? Trying to not answer the FEC tlll after the elections are over!!!

Cha, have a question, Have you seen Weaver or Devine lately? After Super Tuesday?

[Cha]

18. I don't have a tv.. I know nothing.. lol.. they demand super

transparency for Hillary but bernie demurs..

[Her Sister]

14. I cant believe this.stalling for more time....

[SunSeeker]

15. Pathetic. If he can't stay on top of his campaign money, he should be nowhere near the Treasury.

[yallerdawg]

16. "You just pitch the product (free stuff)."

"We'll take care of the rest."

A great American tradition rolls on!

[NurseJackie]

17. What are they hiding? What are they AFRAID to let us see?

For someone who wants to be in charge of our economy, this isn't the image that the campaign ought to be running with.

And should it be enough to simply say "there is good cause" without actually explaining WHAT that cause is? I assume that all the other campaigns aren't making excuses and asking for extensions. What are we to make of the fact that Bernie's campaign is asking for one?

[Rose Siding]

21. LOL The guy doesn't think ahead I guess

Yet another unappealing trait.

[Walk away]

22. Ruh Roh!!!!

[DemonGoddess]

23. I hope he doesn't get it

Why should he? He keeps getting all these dings from the FEC, that he needs to answer.

[Surya Gayatri]

24. Tiens, tiens, what a surprise, NOT!

Bernie Sanders Just Accused Hillary Clinton of Violating Campaign Finance LawsAmanda Girard | April 18, 2016

The Bernie Sanders campaign issued a blistering statement accusing Hillary Clinton’s campaign of circumventing federal campaign finance regulations.

In an official letter to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), Sanders’ campaign attorney Brad C. Deutsch accused the Hillary Clinton campaign of using a joint fundraising committee to skirt campaign finance regulations. As Politico reported this weekend, the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF), which was designed to be a joint fundraising effort between the Clinton campaign and the DNC to help Democrats win down-ticket races, is unloading unusually large amounts of cash to Hillary for America (HFA) — Hillary Clinton’s official campaign account.

Deutsch pointed out that the money disbursed by the Hillary Victory Fund is disproportionately benefiting the Clinton campaign, rather than the Democratic Party as a whole:

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders' (I-VT) campaign legal counsel Brad Deutsch attends a news conference outside the campaign's headquarters December 18, 2015 in Washington, DC. The Sanders campaign was disciplined by the Democratic National Committee after a software error enabled at least one of his staff members to review Hillary ClintonÕs private campaign data.

29. I do wonder

after he cut so many staff yesterday if he is planning to keep some of that campaign money when this is over. I also wonder if he has money he doesn't want his pie in the sky supporters to know about. I am not saying he is dishonest, everyone does it to some extent. I doubt he comes out of this campaign in worse financial shape than he was in before it started though.

[BeyondGeography]

30. Meantime, people are supposed to take his hypothetical GE numbers seriously

Ok.

[Her Sister]

31. Yes those are the only important numbers! Not sure why we even bothered to have a primary!

[Koinos]

33. I have blackout cloth with more transparency than Sanders' campaign.

[Fla Dem]

38. Lots of Goverment jibber jabber, but it looks like Sen Sanders has known he had to file a PFD report

since he threw his hat into the ring.

I want to know what's he hiding about his personal finances? A Cayman Island account maybe?

Do I need to disclose my personal financial information?

Mind you, Deutsch is the guy who accused the HRC Camapign of FEC violations the NIGHT BEFORE NY PRIMARY!!! Remember that?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

39. Why?

Did the dog eat Bernie's homework again?

[George II]

41. Unbelievable. Not only did he want to rewrite DNC rules, now he's trying to rewrite....

US Office of Government Ethics' rules, too?

And he makes such a request via EMAIL?????

[Maru Kitteh]

44. So Jane was too busy last month, apparently?

Money In Politics: Bernie Sanders’ $200 Million Campaign Boosted Left-Wing Consultants Who Helped Barack Obama, Howard Dean
http://www.ibtimes.com/money-politics-bernie-sanders-200-million-campaign-boosted-left-wing-consultants-who-2381687

When it came to the Sanders campaign, the biggest vendor was a virtual unknown: Old Towne Media, a media buying firm that came into existence just two years ago and has since been responsible for almost $65 million in Sanders campaign expenditures.

Little is known about Old Towne Media, which lists its main address as a home in a residential neighborhood of Alexandria, Virginia, in state filings. The company did not respond to an interview request. Other media reports have linked the firm to top Sanders adviser Tad Devine, whose own outfit, Devine Mulvey Longabaugh, has received about $4 million from the campaign.

Besides Old Towne, the biggest recipients of the Sanders campaign’s funds were two entities that helped shape its remarkable fundraising operation. The digital communications firm Revolution Messaging and the Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue received nearly $24 million and slightly more than $6 million, respectively.

A Revolution Messaging representative declined to be interviewed, but confirmed that the group has been involved in numerous aspect of the Sanders campaign’s digital organizing strategy, from digital fundraising to the distribution of online videos. The firm was launched by alumni of the 2008 Obama campaign, another trailblazer when it comes to Democratic online fundraising. In the years since then, veterans of other digitally driven Democratic campaigns have come aboard.

Revolution Messaging partner and Sanders fundraising guru Tim Tagaris, described by Politico as “the left’s leading practitioner of digital and email fundraising,” worked on the 2006 Connecticut Senate campaign of Ned Lamont, the Greenwich millionaire who defeated incumbent Joe Lieberman in the Democratic primary election by running on an anti-war platform. (Disclosure: The author of this piece was an intern on the Lamont campaign.) Michael Whitney, another Revolution Messaging employee, started his career working on the youth arm of Howard Dean’s 2004 presidential campaign. Both the Lamont and Dean campaigns were turning points in the progressive left’s ongoing efforts to mobilize within the Democratic Party using digital tools.
