There are headlines everywhere in the legacy media that Bernie Sanders out-raised all Democrat candidates in the 4th quarter. Here are excerpts from one such article:
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) seems to be fond of money — for a socialist, that is.
His presidential primary campaign brought in $34.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2019, topping the hauls of his 2020 Democrat opponents.
It was an impressive $9 million more than he brought in during the third quarter of 2019 and was the largest quarterly donation figure brought in by a Democrat in 2019.
Why the “Bernie surge” now, and where did the money come from? The Bernie campaign would like us to believe that all the money is rolling in from $18 donors across the land (according to Faiz Shakir, Bernie’s campaign manager, but that is just a smokescreen, as that would require 1.9 million small donors to raise that much money. I wonder how many total entities actually donated? And by entities, I mean PACs and other non-profit organizations, too.
The Democrats are notorious for laundering massive campaign contributions through various non-profit organizations in order to get around campaign finance laws.
The 2008 Obama campaign was fined $375,000 for campaign finance “violations” in 2013. Note that the FEC is apparently not too efficient, and they waited until AFTER the 2012 campaign when it didn’t matter any more to make that announcement. By the way, that was the largest fine of any presidential campaign up to that point in time, but it only involved about $1.3 million in questionable contributions.
Leave it to the Clintons to prove once again that Barry is just a piker in grifting compared to them. The Clintons are still under investigation by the FEC for running an $84 million kickback scheme through state Democrat Party organizations in 2016:
A new legal complaint filed with the Federal Election Commission alleges that the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee used state chapters as strawmen to circumvent campaign donation limits and laundered the money back to her campaign.
The Committee to Defend the President, a political action committee, filed its complaint with the FEC on Monday with the allegations that the Hillary Victory Fund (HVF) solicited cash from big-name donors, including Calvin Klein and “Family Guy” creator Seth MacFarlane — money that was allegedly sent through state chapters and back to the DNC before ending up with the Clinton campaign.
Officials with the committee said their filing was spurred by their own analysis of FEC reports, where they said they discovered the HVF either never transferred the money to state chapters and back to the DNC, or did so without the state chapters having actual control.
In its complaint, the CDP alleges that about $84 million was funneled illegally from the DNC through state party chapters and back into the war chest of the Clinton campaign.
“Based on publicly available FEC records, repeatedly throughout the 2016 presidential campaign, HVF would purportedly transfer funds to its constituent political committees, which included between 34 and 40 state parties,” reads a passage from a copy of the complaint reviewed by Fox News. “On the very same day each of these transfers supposedly occurred, or occasionally the very next day, every single one of those state parties purportedly contributed all of those funds to the DNC.”
