Sanders Group Hit With Complaint Over Alleged Campaign Finance Violations

WFB:

A group founded by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) was hit with a complaint alleging that it violated campaign finance laws by accepting contributions that exceed federal limits.

Our Revolution, a nonprofit established by Sanders, is at the center of a new complaint filed Wednesday to the Federal Election Commission by watchdog group Common Cause. An attorney for the watchdog said the pro-Sanders group violated the law by backing the Vermont senator’s presidential candidacy without registering with the FEC.

“Because Sanders set up Our Revolution and they have raised and spent money in candidate elections, Our Revolution is required to comply with contribution limits, register with the FEC, and disclose its donors—but it hasn’t,” Paul S. Ryan, an attorney for Common Cause, told the Associated Press. “It’s his establishment of the group that triggers these laws. That means a $5,000 limit, full donor disclosure and no contributions from prohibited sources.” read more

  1. Every day there are more and more reports of corruption from any number of democrats and yet all we see are arrests and convictions of republicans jailed on inflated charges.

    Is Barr ever going to get off that fat ass of his?
