211. An assistant is not a boss. Bosses get assisted by their assistants.

This is far from the "End of the story." This story is still developing.

BS campaign foreign policy advisor Jeffrey Sachs is a featured speaker at the event. He admits to "helping" the Academy "reach out" to Sanders. If one of his advisors, who is also a known insider at the Pontifical Academy and has organized conferences for them in the past, finagles an invitation to a conference, and then Sanders tries to spin it as a moving honor from the Pope, that is pretty low.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/03/01/politics/bernie-sanders-foreign-policy-advisers/

Here's a link to the program. Sanders is listed on the last page as a "participant." Sachs is featured as a speaker at the start.

You really don't think Sachs had anything to do with getting Sanders invited to his conference?
