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.

Some of the campaign's legal problems stem from enthusiasm for Sanders' candidacy from foreign nationals, many of whom have publicly revealed donations to the campaign in violation of U.S. election laws.Hillary accepts foreign donations too, but apparently pays off the right people.

Part of the fix for Hillary.
Folks, if you're reading this, you know what needs to happen.
It doesn't take a big contribution. Pick your comfort level and
please join others to help put the FReepathon to rest. Thank you.

Uh,oh. The RAT machine is worried about Bernie.

Apparently Hillary hasn't caught on yet that even if she gets a pardon from Obama, that when Trump wins, all of the donors to the Clinton Global Shakedown are going to want their money back: some might not be satisfied merely to receive a refund.
I suggest she try to avoid Ft. Marcy Park.

I don’t recall them caring when hussein took millions of dollars in untraceable credit card donations. But then if they would have done that it would be raciss.

If Hillary wins, I'm going to Fort Marcy Park.

Good point, Zero’s campaign was largely funded by “anonymous” donors.

my theory -—
1. Obama’s backers have the goods on Hillary (not hard)
and
2. Hillary has the goods on Obama (not hard, either)
both could, should go to prison for life
so its a ‘game of chicken’

Ah yes - The politics of personal destruction.
No one better at that than the Clintons
But I happen to know the Sanders’ people are wise to Hillary’s tactics and are ready to return fire. They are not going to sit there and just take it, I can vouch for that.
