Hillary Clinton ally hits Bernie Sanders with FEC complaints

[Her Sister]

1. People for Bernie!?

COMPLAINT

Complainant files this complaint with the Federal Election Commission (the “FEC” or “Commission”) under 52 U.S.C. § 30109(a)(1) against Senator Bernard Sanders; Bernie 2016 and Susan Jackson, its treasurer, in her official capacity; National Nurses United for Patient Protection (“NNU”) and its treasurer, Martha Kuhl, in her official capacity; and Progressive Kick Independent Expenditures (“Progressive Kick”) and its treasurer, Joshua Grossman, in his official capacity (collectively, “Respondents”) for violating the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971, as amended (“the Act”). Progressive Kick is operating a project using a name that the FEC and a federal court have established is illegal: “People for Bernie.” Additionally, the website for “People for Bernie” does not contain the proper required disclaimer. Further, according to publicly available reports filed by the Respondents with the Commission and information in the media, Respondents appear to have engaged in illegal coordination. Lastly, NNU appears to be hiding the ultimate payee of some of its independent expenditure expenses in violation of the law. The Commission should act immediately to investigate the full scope of these violations, ensure they cease immediately, and seek the appropriate financial penalties.
