Many Canadians/Mexicans who live/work in the US have offshore bank accounts in their home countries
There's nothing remotely illegal about having offshore bank accounts.

There is absolutely nothing illegal with having offshore bank accounts
As long as you pay all taxes due and you declare them on FATCA and FBAR annually.
That's what I do. My taxes are done by a reputable accountant (E&Y) and I declare all my offshore bank accounts annually.

Here's the relevant article.

Sounds like a post mortem to me.
"Top Sanders strategists acknowledged ... Sanders ... can't beat [Clinton]"

He has stepped up his attacks on Clintons positions, but his parries, particularly compared with those in the Republican race, are gentle. Sanders therefore can disrupt and annoy Clinton on her way to the nomination, but he cant beat her.
Top Sanders strategists acknowledged as much in a New York Times article Monday by Patrick Healy and Yamiche Alcindor. They were quoted speaking in the past tense and lamenting what the writers described as missed opportunities to run an aggressive political operation in 2015 that would have presented more of a challenge to Mrs. Clinton. Sanders strategist Tad Devine said the central complication with Bernie is that he never wanted to cross into the zone of personal attacks because it would undercut his brand.

Why does Bernie invest in Wall Street if he thinks "the business model of wall street is fraud"?
How do you explain this cognitive dissonance?

Could charitable donations account for Bernie's high itemized deductions?
Also would he be caught by the AMT?

When will the fat lady sing? My guess is in three weeks's time.
After that we can focus on defeating Trump!
