Has Bernie Sanders responded to FEC requests about his campaign contributions yet?

I haven't seen whether or not he has accounted for some of his "mystery money" issues...

every major media organization internationally would have written about it.

34. Sure. But to make the assumption that the "mystery money" has not been addressed is ludicrous.

With over 7 million donations, it's likely a bit more challenging than the 25-30 massive donations through superpacs. But the point remains, it may have been addressed already so why the pissing up the rope?

So unless you're an Independaent or an undecided voter, you don't need to know. Those that it matters to will find out when they need to.

Seems fair. My home is worth over $250k bernie is worth 100k more than me? Question? Does hrc own any homes if so what are they worth? And were they bought in cash? Did hrc pay cash for her homes?

30. Yoi really keep up with Bernie, the $350,000 was in 2014, last year he reported

$800,000, not bad for a guy whose salary is $174,000 a year, he more than doubled his net worth in a year, follow the money. Maybe he is getting extra money.

There is nothing to be gained from belittling others. Just because you are a long time poster does not make you superior.

There certainly seems to be an accounting problem that Sanders needs to address. But I don't think the Clinton and Republican approach of just circumventing the FEC rules is the way to go.
