20. I just ran Jeremy Abramowitz' numbers

Apr 2016

He donated $15,900 to Bernie's campaign on February 29. (I chose that one date to add up because so many contributions were made by him on that one day.) And it's all in sub-legal, and random, amounts...there's a couple of $1 donations in there, some $27, a few low-four-figure entries...no single donation is illegal, but the total is definitely illegal.

It looks to me like Sanders is trying to have his cake and eat it too - to not "have a super PAC" and have his pure campaign be besmirched by that most evil of fundraising mechanisms, but to raise money for his campaign like a super PAC would.

There's also a chance - how good it is, I don't know - Jeremy is working as a cutout between the Sanders campaign and foreign nationals living in New York City. The one-dollar donations make no sense unless Jeremy was going down 34th Street harassing the food cart guys to donate to the Sanders campaign, and they gave him a buck to shut him up.

Thanks Her Sister, great thread and great responses. R B Garr Apr 2016 #27

One more number: OilemFirchen Apr 2016 #28

Must be a lot of 1 cent contributions in order to achieve the $27 average. Thinkingabout Apr 2016 #31

The individual contribution amounts are also suspicious. LiberalFighter Apr 2016 #37

First letter was 95 pages, second about 150, this one 270? Unbelievably sloppy and perhaps... George II Apr 2016 #44
