Is this the kitchen sink?

1. Are these issues in the doc attached routine for all campaigns and they are only being

pointed out because it is Bernie?

Does anybody know the unbiased honest answer to that?

[NorthCarolina]

4. To be honest, I have

no idea what it's all about. Just saw that someone from the Clinton campaign in NV had tweeted the link to Jonathan Capeharts account. A new avanue of attack? Who knows....that's why I posted it here figuring someone would know something about it.

8. FEC investigation as to why some donors gave more than 2700

[Motown_Johnny]

14. maybe 100 donors out of his hundreds of thousands of donors.

It wouldn't be surprising if a small percentage of donors gave to much.


Not a big deal.

6. These are being pointed out because of a potential investigation

There won't be one if the discrepancies are explained and monies are paid back.

[Motown_Johnny]

15. Which is the most likely outcome here.

If there are some discrepancies the money will simply will be paid back.


This is much ado about nothing.

2. No. And, as the New York Times stated...

Such glitches are common in political campaigns, which are required to track small donors and begin itemizing their contributions when their total reaches $200. That can be harder when donors use slightly different variations of their names or contribute from more than one address.

3. Depends on how it's played.

My understanding is that this sort of thing isn't uncommon, nor "proof" of anything underhanded. Not everyone keeps precise track of how much they've donated and sometimes campaigns have to return money. If this gets played as SCANDAL SCANDAL OMG BERNIE IS SO CROOKED, then you'll know it's kitchen sink material.

5. It will be another Rovian attack-the-strength attack. Hit Bernie on his integrity and

his reliance on small donors. The point is to drag him into "just another politician" territory. They've tried it before, hasn't stuck.

7. So, it is okay to lie to the FEC? Did you actually look at the pdf?

[Motown_Johnny]

13. Did you look at it?

5. Your report discloses $903.00 from Southwest Adventist University in Offsets to operating expenditures on line 20(a). Your report also discloses $331.34 from MassMutual in other receipts on line 21 of the Detailed Summary Page. Please be advised that if there are not corresponding expenditures for these entries, it may constitute an excessive or prohibited contribution. Please amend your report or provide an explanation for this apparent discrepancy.





OMG!!! How Can Bernie Ever Be Elected Now!!!!

9. Probably Clinton is about to have some fundraising shenanigans exposed, so they are pushing this

non-story about Sanders now say they can act like there are shenanigans all around.

[Motown_Johnny]

10. This reeks of desperation.

So, maybe 100 people are over the $2,700 limit for Bernie?

He has hundreds of thousands of people contributing. It would not surprise me if a tiny percentage of them have given more than the limit allows.


It is a meaningless little blip.

11. I've been following his Shitter feed for 2 days. He's promised, and long anticipated follow-up piece

has been in the works the entire time. It appears he had to scrap the original draft, which read "not cut and dry" and is now working on a piece that turns in this direction: "Where the word of a proud photographer conflicts with the pride of an ex-wife and friends."

aside: if you've seen 2 images featuring Hillary's "Jazz Hands," those are mine

12. There was an article about this yesterday.. due to the

astronomical amount of donations from so many individuals, tracking has been hard. Even Act Blue has sent out requests for donations so they can upgrade their systems to handle the inflow. His last FEC filing was 100,000 pages long.
