Ignore the made up drama about the FEC and Bernie, it is just more Hillary supporters whining!

From the NYT Article.

The Federal Election Commission has asked the presidential campaign of Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont to re-examine contributions from more than a hundred donors who appear to have given more than the legally permissible amount.

Also:

Such glitches are common in political campaigns, which are required to track small donors and begin itemizing their contributions when their total reaches $200.

and:

And last week, the campaign announced it had received 3.25 million total donations, the most of any presidential candidate in the race. The campaign’s most recent F.E.C. filing was nearly 100,000 pages long.

The Hillary fans would have you Believe Bernie is in legal trouble and close to being indicted!

More drama from the Hillary side.

Carry on!

I'm confident the Sanders campaign has been vigilant in it's accounting. If some inadvertent errors are found they are easily corrected.

...liar! Guess we have no choice but to elect the least honest, least trustworthy political candidate since Richard Nixon since Bernie has SUCH a problem with the truth, natch.

Speaking of indictments...

Edit: Bah. Shrug emoji no work.

They really should be looking at the Super PACS, dark money, and especially foreign contributions.
