as with ever mis-adventure, the sanders campaign comes out with excuses

[beachbum bob]

so the trip to rome appears to have been paid with campaign funds...and illegal use of campaign funds are taken seriously...and people go to prison and have huge fines


bernies/and his campaign typical excuses will be the FEC rules are rigged....or they were too HARD to understand....or nobody told us....or will they blame on hillary that she set him up and the Pope was in the fix with her to embarrass sanders and have him indicted...actually a real indictment


you don't get to have "do-overs" on illegal use of funds...

1. so you don't think that he made that trip as a political stunt to win the catholic vote in NY?

2. american politics doesn't extend to paid vacations to europe

[virtualobserver]

4. it wasn't a vacation....it was a Senator traveling to a conference

[merrily]

6. You have no clue what it extends to. Zero, zip, nada, zilch, bubkes.

[merrily]

3. There is zero indication the expenditure was illegal, except the word of a Bernie Hate blogger.

The only fact in the story is that Bernie's campaign filed a report with the FEC. The FEC has not mentioned illegality. There is no charge, let alone a conviction. These posts are shameful.

5. I think you want to correct your subject line. n/t

[merrily]

12. You really blew out your flip flop with this one.

This hill of beans isn't visible next to Sir Edmund Hillary's Mt. Everest of excuses, distortions and outright lies.

16. If the FEC says there's a problem I'll believe it.

But so far nobody has said there's a problem except for some rabidly anti-Sanders blogger nobody's ever heard of.

17. Let the socialist have his half mil vacation in peace. Some high living will mellow the dude out.

I'm with the Bern on this out. Is this any worse than Trump U, getting people to give money under false pretenses and using it to fund a lavish lifestyle? Trump isn't going to prison, neither should Bernie.

18. Is he under FBI investigation yet?

The unbelievable gall of any HRC supporter calling out Bernie for ANYTHING is absurd. The investigation into the
Clinton Foundation will overshadow this entire campaign.
You HRC folks keep crowing about having this wrapped up. Why do you still stay on the attack against one of
the most honest senators we've ever had? Nervous? I don't get it.

While we're at it, how many people got arrested for the death threats? (remember, when the chairs WEREN'T thrown) Surely the callers would be easy to identify from phone records.
If such threats were made, I think the offenders should be prosecuted. Who has been arrested? Give up your
divisive crap posts.

19. he wasnt on vacation, no touring, no side trips, zilch, a speedy return

desperation reeks from this made up post
