The campaign’s January financial disclosure filing listed contributions from foreign nationals and unregistered political committees, the FEC said. Other contributions came from donors who exceeded the $2,700 per-election limit.

But it's OK when Bernie does it, right? Because hypocrisy is your new progressive platform, as far as I can tell.
