1. This gets more and more weird

I never expected this particular angle

2. Which just happens to take the deadline beyond the primaries. How nice for them. nt

3. " - if he drops out first, won't have to file"

Decisions, decisions...

4. Curiouser and curiouser

5. I find this amazing and revealing

...of the Sanders double-standard.

Accountability for thee, not me.

[Trust Buster]

6. Total hypocrisy.

7. Wonder what Jane is hiding.

8. How can we trust Bernie to run an entire country if he can't run an organized campaign? Things like…

... this really don't inspire confidence. In my opinion it's a big red flag that he's not in control of his campaign, or that they're completely unprepared, or that he's chosen incompetent advisors, accountants, bookkeepers and lawyers. There's really no excuse for this.

Okay, maybe ONE time ... while they get their feet wet and discover that donations are coming in faster than expected, but after that it's time to get on the ball! Ignoring the problem won't make it go away, yet, that appears to be what they're doing. If they'd addressed it right away, in a timely manner, they wouldn't be asking for special treatment.

In fairness, I'm sure that Bernie himself has other things to do, and he's not the person who's literally in charge of filing these forms and personally responding to FEC legal requirements. But it speaks to the larger picture of the culture inside the Sanders campaign.

I'm not impressed at all, and I doubt the American people will be. (It's pretty clear that the FEC isn't impressed either.)

9. If this is in re: his *personal* finances. . .

He likely doesn't have a passel of advisors, accountants, bookkeepers and lawyers "managing" his personal business. The Clintons (millionaires a few times over at least) may have such to handle their personal finances but most people who aren't wealthy - don't.

Further, some of this info is submitted monthly as I understand it as part of his Senate position.

If you're someone just looking for an "Ahha! He's just as crooked as Clinton!" moment, then this is significant.

Otherwise ... It just isn't.

:yawn:

10. That's even worse. It's all on him!

11. Interesting he is trying to push it past the primary. nt.
