The FEC said THIS? Or are you pretending? elleng May 2016 #4

That was a KOS article...edited to include link Sancho May 2016 #7

Thanks for info about KOS. elleng May 2016 #12

I like tomatoes on my nothingburger, how about you, Ellen? CentralCoaster May 2016 #22

Ain't been to 'nothingburger,' but hope to add home-grown tomatoes to grilled burgers this summer! elleng May 2016 #29

Bernie was cool and collected, tireless, and his only negative call outs were against Trump. CentralCoaster May 2016 #62

Nice hit piece but a scan of the original document shows what's really going on lagomorph777 May 2016 #13

Sanders has been bragging about his fundraising and bashing Hillary and the DNC factfinder_77 May 2016 #18

There's a small difference in the number of zeroes (dollars and number of donors) lagomorph777 May 2016 #24

I hope that Brock's Super Pac knows how little their $$$ are buying! emsimon33 May 2016 #30

6 weeks and 8 hides? redwitch May 2016 #64

There's no excuse for the campaign's continuing problem with a mysterious donor pnwmom May 2016 #70

Rookie mistake???? Bernie's only been a congressman for 25 years and raising funds for campaigns. politicaljunkie41910 May 2016 #47

What was Hillary's excuse? Mnpaul May 2016 #69

Hillary is pressuring the FEC Hare Krishna May 2016 #2

Do you have proof of this? hrmjustin May 2016 #6

LOL leftynyc May 2016 #11

shouldn't his campaign have a way to automatically tell people when they've donated the maximum? factfinder_77 May 2016 #20

Yeah? Maybe you could offer your coding services to Act Blue. You seem to have a real handle on Ed Suspicious May 2016 #78

That is a lot of pages. hrmjustin May 2016 #3

add that to the previous 700+ pages and you have a good idea that the BS campaign is clueless Sheepshank May 2016 #37

Each page is 41 donations, typically from fewer donors. lagomorph777 May 2016 #38

Why do you mean what else I got? hrmjustin May 2016 #52

Says you. You're doing a lot of speculating there. The refund issues were confined to a couple of politicaljunkie41910 May 2016 #55

Heaven forbid the great unwashed donate to Bernie... Yurovsky May 2016 #5

This is the kind of stuff that ensures big money stays in politics... TCJ70 May 2016 #8

That is not the issue... factfinder_77 May 2016 #16

Your excerpt demonstrates that it IS the issue. lagomorph777 May 2016 #25

lol there are many many donation of $1.....gotta get that average to $27 Sheepshank May 2016 #41

I'm not kidding, Maddi! frylock May 2016 #44

This is not rocket science. When I donate to Hillary, I get a notice how much I have donated still_one May 2016 #31

So does that add up to a few million bucks? LOL Small change indeed. Compared to Hillary. imagine2015 May 2016 #32

we have 639 pages of individuals who donated too much azurnoir May 2016 #14

Sounds serious, but are these criminal violations? Could someone actually go to jail for this? NurseJackie May 2016 #15

Basically, they have until June to refund factfinder_77 May 2016 #17

I'd bet he'll have it all spent by June Sheepshank May 2016 #42

Perhaps we should call for an FBI investigation........ still_one May 2016 #26

It wouldn't surprise me if something was already in the works. NurseJackie May 2016 #45

The software the Sanders' campaign uses should really be checking that. Each time I make an online still_one May 2016 #46

A high-school graduate with a basic understanding of MS-Excel or ... NurseJackie May 2016 #49

Well this is relatively new, so I can understand the confusion still_one May 2016 #51

Forty-five years isn't much time to figure out ways to CIRCUMVENT THE LAW! NurseJackie May 2016 #54

We all agree Bernie Sanders is a decent, honorable man. His campaign people Jackie Wilson Said May 2016 #34

I don't agree. I saw the Andrea Mitchell interview Demsrule86 May 2016 #66

I didnt see it, dont have to. Did a tired, worn out, campaigner say something that upset you? Jackie Wilson Said May 2016 #67

Yes, but what did you think of Bernie? JackRiddler May 2016 #73

43 pages of foreign contributions!! factfinder_77 May 2016 #19

Foreign contributions? I thought that was ILLEGAL! (Maybe I'm mistaken.) NurseJackie May 2016 #35

Yup. They are illegal Cali_Democrat May 2016 #48

So these aren't merely "guidelines" ... the SANDERS CAMPAIGN IS BREAKING THE LAW? NurseJackie May 2016 #50

6 pages of nothing serious or criminal. Corrections will be made as they have been for every month imagine2015 May 2016 #27

No, it doesn't. A COMPETENT campaign has donation limits built into for each donor. KittyWampus May 2016 #75

Will the FEC view this as flagrantly disregarding the law? Or is this just an accidental oversight… NurseJackie May 2016 #33

They have had at least 2 previous (700 page FEC reports) infractions Sheepshank May 2016 #56

So there could possibly be FINES and PROSECUTIONS? I'm sure the FEC doesn't ... NurseJackie May 2016 #57

I suspect there are rules for enforcement Sheepshank May 2016 #58

Hillary's campaign and corporate media are not even commenting on this. imagine2015 May 2016 #36

Clinton hasn't commented on Sanders pretty much the entire race. KittyWampus May 2016 #76

This is common enough... pugetres May 2016 #40

Don't we see some version of this story every month? Motown_Johnny May 2016 #59

Sounds like the email-gasms that are all the rage -among a small circle of DUers. randome May 2016 #68

No, actually. His failure as Chairman of the Veterans Affairs Committee KittyWampus May 2016 #77
