Feds Flag Thousands of Illegal Bernie Sanders Contributions

Thousands of contributions to Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders' campaign in January violated federal campaign finance laws, election regulators said on Thursday.

The Federal Election Commission sent a letter to the Democratic presidential candidate's campaign committee on Thursday with a 90-page spreadsheet listing 3,457 "excessive, prohibited, and impermissible contributions."

The campaign's January financial disclosure filing listed contributions from foreign nationals and unregistered political committees, the FEC said. Other contributions came from donors who exceeded the $2,700 per-election limit.

I am under the opinion that you must have been convicted of a crime to be eligible for a pardon.

Have you known this to be true and how could she be convicted in this short time frame?

Remember Gerald Ford’s pardoning of Richard Nixon?

Looks like Bernie needs his own foundation.

I have a vision of a better world, wherein unicorns frolic through every park in the land, and BOTH Hillary and Bernie are in orange jumpsuits and manacles...

many of whom have PUBLICLY REVEALED donations to the campaign in violation of U.S. election laws


Ah, there is the problem, Hillary donors do not PUBLICLY reveal their donations are from foreigners.

Cruz also has a current request from the FEC to provide additional info on donations. Most of issues noted are donors that gave over the limit.

Illegal contributions?

We don’t need gun control - we need Libtard Control.

Pass a law that every contributor is required to have a background check, then approval, then a three day waiting period.

Good point. Lawyer who put that forward needs to answer that too.

Did Nixon ever admit to a crime? Would that be sufficient or was it a “token” pardon?

Except, of course, when those Hillary foreign donors donate to Hillary's opposition campaigns, then they are very public.

Not a token pardon. Blanket pardon.

Check out Clinton's end-of-term pardons for others, too.

They care now? They did not care about the Obama contributions.

Guess Obama is backing Hillary. I do not get that unless she has something horrible on him.

Isn’t that interesting. Obama got countless dollars from overseas and “gift card” contributions when the “feds” allowed his campaign to accept, donations online, with no security.

Feel the Bern Bernie.

John Lee Hooker, obviously. Not the usual Queen Bee that you hear, but something he recorded on the sly, and was sold out of car trunks.
