Bernie Sanders' Campaign Makes $350,000 Donation To Relaunch Sanders Institute

[George II]

Bernie Sanders’ presidential campaign has given $350,000 to a think tank established by members of his family.

On April 1, the Bernie 2020 campaign made the donation to the Burlington-based Sanders Institute, according to the Federal Election Commission.

The Institute previously said it had suspended operations in early 2019, to avoid any appearance of a conflict of interest with Sanders’ presidential campaign. A spokesperson for Sanders’ campaign said the donation will be used for a relaunch the Institute.

“This was done as part of ending the campaign, and it's part of the transition from winning votes to educating people about Sen. Sanders' agenda,” said Mike Casca, Sanders' communications director. “The Institute’s going to use the resources to ensure the movement built by the campaign continues.”

1. Well lack of transparency and family ties will certainly make things appear conflicting.

I wonder if they are going to change any of that or just don't care about appearances since he isn't running for president.

Wonder if they have any more events with Sarandon set up in the future.

2. While He's Re-educating Couldn't He Spend Some Of That Money

to feed people? Including some the the 11 million he has set aside?

4. First day of the 2nd Quarter reporting period. It wasn't officially reported until after the end....

....of the 2nd Quarter, which was June 30.
