There was no "money laundering feature". There is a federal statute lapucelle Nov 2017 #69

it is still a loophole that allows individual donors to give, in this case, $353,000 virtualobserver Nov 2017 #117

Bernie's agreement does not include the state parties virtualobserver Nov 2017 #135

funneling $80 million supposedly raised for state parties back to Hillary isn't a nothingburger virtualobserver Nov 2017 #147

He did not believe in the subversion of campaign finance laws created by the Supreme Court decision virtualobserver Nov 2017 #151

Again, that was his choice. He walked away from the JFA, and Hillary did not. ehrnst Nov 2017 #152
