James Bond may have broken the law in giving to Bernie Sanders PAC. (Original Post)
Historic NY
Sep 2015
OP
rainbow fish
(42 posts)1. Bernie Sanders has no PACs or SuperPACs
Nice try.
Recursion
(56,582 posts)12. No candidate "has" a super PAC. That's the point of super PACs.
Many super PACs are still "associated with" a candidate. Including some for Sanders.

(14,733 posts)2. Bernie has no association with that PAC
And the guy running it apparently already has a checkered past, per another OP out there.

(5,204 posts)3. Sanders has asked the SuperPAC owner to stop taking donations
on his behalf, but Citizens United means he can't stop them. You could even create a SuperPAC specifically to try to make the candidate it supposedly supports to look bad. The current system is totally broken.

(12,685 posts)7. Sanders can't force him to do anything. The guy has run other scams. n/t

(12,685 posts)6. This was a scam that Bernie had nothing to do with - though I'm sure you know that. n/t
