Feds flag Bernie Sanders campaign contributionsEmilie Teresa Stigliani, Burlington (Vt.) Free Press 8:49 p.m. EDT April 18, 2016
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."
The Sanders campaign has until March 31 to answer the FEC's request.

Dayum, but Bernie2016 is doing something really, really wrong. The campaign has been getting consecutive citations, one after the other, from the FEC!

I really want to know who the $10million mystery donation came from. That & other things.
Tsk tsk..all those $27 donations..down the drain.
This FED INVESTIGATION will be a very costly ordeal.

(15,373 posts)DNC for following its own rules than being interested in addressing actual problems cited by the FEC with donations in his own campaign.
Gadfly indeed!

(42,862 posts)This campaign is NOT ready for prime-time. If they spent as much effort on keeping their finances in order as they do on filing frivolous lawsuits, then they might be real contenders.
