Fed Elections Comm. flags Sanders campaign donations:e.g. from "unregistered political committees"

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/02/26/bernie-sanders-campaign-contributions/80999298/

Bernie Sanders received a warning from the Federal Election Commission, citing problems with his campaign's February finance report.

The letter states the report lists amounts of contributions, receipts, expenses and disbursements that "appear to be incorrect."

The letter also cites possible impermissible contributions that exceed the allowed limit per election cycle ($2,700 for individuals) along with donations that come from outside the United States and from unregistered political committees.

The FEC sent the letter Thursday to the campaign asking for more information regarding the report filed Feb. 20. The letter warned: "Failure to adequately respond by the response date noted above could result in an audit or enforcement action."

It gets pulled out every now and then to show everyone that Bernie can't be trusted.

All these little bullshit posts, and then they amount to nothing the next day.


It's almost as bad as those issues FOX News raises one day, and conveniently disappears later on.
