Bernie Sanders colluded — with the Australian Labor Party

While the Russia investigation continues to swirl around President Donald Trump and the members of his entourage, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) has confirmed another instance of illegal meddling in the election: Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign illegally accepted contributions from the Australian Labor Party, which paid for volunteers to fly across the globe to volunteer on his campaign, according to a ruling filed earlier this month.


The volunteers, who were participating in a government-funded education program, even got $8,000 in stipends from their native country to campaign for the popular Vermont senator in his 2016 run for the White House.

The FEC ruled that the Sanders campaign accepted about $25,000 in in-kind donations from the Australians. Bernie’s been ordered to fork over $14,500 in civil penalties for violating campaign law.

Those stipends, as well as their transportation costs, were paid for by the Australian Labor Party (ALP) as part of an education program ultimately funded by the Australian government.

Project Veritas also taped the young people engaging in conventional campaign activities on behalf of the Sanders campaign, and describing the stipends they receive in the videos.

• Christopher Steele told a State Department official a former Russian spy chief and a top Kremlin adviser were involved in an operation to collect compromising information on Donald Trump.
• The State Department official’s notes also indicate Steele claimed the Russians, Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Vladislav Surkov, were “sources” for the dossier.

Aren't delirious Democrats now accusing Team Obama of treason?

In July 2016, the Obama administration accepted unsolicited information from Alexander Downer, an Australian diplomat who just happened to have helped arrange a $25 million government donation to the Clinton Foundation years before. Downer said that he had witnessed a Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, bragging about some dirt that the Russians supposedly had on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

In other words, the Democratic administration accepted dirt from a foreign friendly and used it to justify investigating its GOP rival.

Bernie specifically did exactly what each one of you have stated, posted, or inferred is a felony. Are you going to advocate that Bernie should be thrown in jail or are you all simply the libtard hypocrites that you seem to be?

I assume that all of you are highly confused and conflicted. Your libtard news sources didn't mention the Bernie thing? Did egoer lead you astray on the subject? Egoer assured us all that in-kind payment was illegal. That was the entire basis of egoer's and many of your arguments with respect to the Trump tower meeting.

The silence is deafening.

Trump is the current president of the United States! What he says reverberates across the world.

If he says tariffs, stock markets go down; if he says war, nations take defensive actions; if he says it’s ok to interfere in our elections, nations interfere.

You expect people to not have any understanding of the world and to pretend as though what the president of the United States says has no consequences. That’s absolutely ridiculous.

I nominate this for the stupidest post in the history of ET

For fucks sake, wtf?

Once again, Trump invites foreign nations to interfere in our elections and and his army of retards defends it.

This is just more proof that the internet has done to conservatives what was thought video games would do to children.

Explain how it "interferes".

We've been laughing at your one term joke of a president since he took office lol

No you've followed your high priests, some of whom you call "comedians", as they snear at the president for clicks, who lead group snears for cash. Now, finally, one actual comedian is going to do a show without Trump jokes and take his chances on actual comedy.

Asked about his decision to avoid Trump sketches or monologues, which has seen Colbert's show soar to become the biggest late night show; Spade joked: 'We are trying to do the coldest thing. We want to do stuff that no one wants to see.'

Explaining his decision further, he continued: 'I just thought when we talked to Comedy Central that it was sort of like what could we do with me and my sense of humor.

'And maybe it is time for a non political fun show again making fun whatever else is going on. Gender reveals drive me crazy, anything going on in music and acting.

'There are so many funny things that we all make fun of. Get some comedians in and do that again instead of getting so heated about the country.

Please explain to me again how an in-kind payment is illegal and any politician accepting one is commiting a felony and should be in jail.

Joe Biden for jail for accepting a payment-in-kind!

Biden to pay $219,000 fine to FEC

In an audit released Friday, the FEC said Biden’s 2008 White House election bid accepted an illegal in-kind campaign contribution by accepting a ride on a corporate jet and only paying the first-class rate, not the more expensive charter rate. In addition, the then-Delaware senator’s presidential campaign was plagued by some messy record-keeping that led to prohibited excessive campaign contributions from individual donors.
