Press Release: Politico Exposes Clinton Campaign ‘Money-Laundering’ Scheme
Bernie Sanders Press Release ^ | May 2, 2016 | Press Release

Posted on 05/04/2016 1:13:09 AM PDT by MIA_eccl1212

BURLINGTON, Vt. – U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders’ campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, on Monday criticized a Hillary Clinton campaign fundraising scheme that state party leaders told Politico has been used as a self-serving “money-laundering” conduit.

Despite Clinton’s pledges to rebuild state parties, Politico found that less than 1 percent of the $61 million raised by the Victory Fund has stayed in the state parties’ coffers.

“Secretary Clinton is looting funds meant for the state parties to skirt fundraising limits on her presidential campaign,” Weaver said. “We think the Clinton campaign should let the state parties keep their fair share of the cash.”

“Secretary Clinton has exploited the rules in ways that let her high-dollar donors like Alice Walton of Wal-Mart fame and the actor George Clooney and his super-rich Hollywood friends skirt legal limits on campaign contributions,” Weaver added. “If Secretary Clinton can’t raise the funds needed to run in a competitive primary without resorting to laundering, how will she compete against Donald Trump in a general election?”

The Sanders campaign first raised questions about the arrangement in an April 18 letter from Brad Deutsch, the attorney for Sanders’ campaign, to U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chair of the DNC.

Oh come on! 1% is about what the Haitians are getting and it has really improved the country!

Bernie probably never gave money to a charity let alone ran one and doesn’t understand how quickly the bills pile up.

“Secretary Clinton is looting funds”

Bernie, Hillary, Ted, John and current and former members of the gang of 535 should be in federal prison.

7. It must not be forgotten that the members of the legislative body are to have a deep stake in the game. This is an essential point, and happily is attended with no difficulty. A sufficient number, properly disposed, can alternately legislate and speculate, and speculate and legislate, and buy and sell, and sell and buy, until a due portion of the property of their constituents has passed into their hands to give them an interest against their constituents…

11. As soon as sufficient progress in the intended change shall have been made, and the public mind duly prepared according to the rules already laid down, it will be proper to venture on another and a bolder step toward a removal of the constitutional landmarks.

Will liberals connect dots here and realize this is how Hillary would govern? All FOR CLINTON...ALL THE TIME.

A well-meaning but misguided President Bernie would actually try to do good. While that is impossible, the old hippie doesn't view the presidency as the means to wealth.

OTOH, The Beast would treat the office, like any tyrant since the beginning of history, as the means to self-serving power and wealth. Hillary is more that ready to prove tyranny exists for the pleasure of the tyrant.

I’m still buying into the theory that she’s not going to be the nominee. It will be Biden and Fauxcahontas as the Dem ticket.

Biden will bring back the union vote, and the Indian Princess will keep all the kooky lefties happy.

This would be worrisome if this election was going to be determined by who could spend the most money.

It isn’t, it is going to be determined by who is the most capable and who has the best ideas.

Trump is going to need to spend less than half of what Hillary! is going to spend, and he’s going to win in an historic landslide.

If caused by a detergent or powdered laundry aid, add 1 cup (240 ml) of white vinegar to 1 quart (.95L) of water. Use a plastic container. Soak item for one hour; rinse. 

If caused by fabric softener, rub stains with bar soap, wash.

Add product first, then clothes and start washer. 

Dilute fabric softener before adding to wash or rinse cycle, or to

Oh wait.  That's a different Clinton laundry problem.  Nevermind.

I think they’re letting the Clinton’s twist in the wind before cutting them down ... to size. I like Bernie as a person but communism never works. It’s great on paper... all that illusion of fairness... but in real life it devolves to thuggery faster than any other political system.

I hope you are right. I hope that Bernie encourages his supporters to stay home. They would listen.
