Bernie Sanders has been caught red-handed.
The Senator was caught transferring $75,000 from his campaign’s accounts into his stepston’s nonprofit organization.
But here’s where things get even more interesting.
It wasn’t just that $75,000.
Apparently, an additional $200,000 was sent from the campaign to the non-profit.
There are legitimate concerns here.
It’s crime to transfer campaign funds to family members.
The fact that the money was sent to a nonprofit is not proof of a crime.
However, it creates an interesting paper trail and raises questions.
You know what they say… where there’s smoke, there’s usually a fire.
And well, there’s a smoky layer of suspicious, unusual activity going on here.

I tried to tell you Bernie was nothing more than a thief.

Folks, Washington D.C. is a well-oiled money laundering machine.
Think about Joe Biden’s family.
Joe has been accused of creating shell companies and LLCs.
These shell companies are accused of sending money back and forth to make it difficult to trace, before eventually sending the money to the Biden family.
Well, could the money sent to the nonprofit be a ruse to disguise what’s really going on?
The Daily Caller confirms:
Independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders sent his wife’s nonprofit $75,000 worth of campaign funds in the most recent fundraising quarter, Federal Election Commission (FEC) filings show.
Friends of Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator’s campaign committee, sent $75,000 to the Sanders Institute as a charitable donation on Aug. 8, according to the committee’s quarterly FEC report. The filings cover the fundraising period from July 1 to Sept. 30, during which the 82-year-old’s 2024 Senate campaign raised more than $500,000 from individual donors.
Earlier in 2023, Sanders’ campaign sent the Sanders Institute $200,000, Fox News reported.
The nonprofit raised nearly $717,000 in 2021 and spent $257,000 on wages, according to its most recent publicly available tax forms.
Hmm… those numbers seem… close, don’t they?
We know $75,000 and $200,000 were taken from the campaign and sent to the nonprofit.
That’s $275,000.
And it was revealed that the nonprofit spent $257,000 on wages.
The numbers are suspiciously close.

Don’t you go over $600 on your E-bay or Venmo, or the IRS will kick in your door. @SenSanders

The real Bernie, hoping with all the highly visible issues now taking place this won’t be noticed?

Remember the 87,000 new IRS agents that the Biden regime hired?
How many of them do you think are going to investigate Bernie Sanders?
I think we all know that the answer is ZERO!
Yet, these suspicious actions are verifiable.
Fox News has more details:
Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., transferred $75,000 from his campaign’s coffers to his wife and stepson’s nonprofit during the third quarter, Fox News Digital has found.
ADVERTISEMENTThe money from the senator’s campaign went to the Sanders Institute on Aug. 8, according to its recently released Federal Election Commission filings. The cash follows the $200,000 that the committee sent to the nonprofit earlier this year.
The institute was established by Sanders’ wife, Jane, and his stepson, David Driscoll, six years ago as a think tank to elevate progressive mouthpieces. However, the group has appeared to perform very little work while paying Driscoll six figures worth of compensation.
“The facts present in this case and the family ties involved certainly raise legitimate concern,” Kendra Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, previously told Fox News Digital. “Obviously, a senator is not allowed to use his campaign to simply transfer large sums of money to family members – regardless of the route the dollars take.”
“While on its face, the percentage the nonprofit paid out in salary alone is not necessarily problematic, legally the issue hinges on whether the salaries were paid for bona fide services at fair market value,” Arnold said. “In other words, if the nonprofit and its executive director are truly producing work and actually earning the money, it is not illegal, but it is frowned upon. On the other hand, if nothing or very little is being done to earn the money legitimately, then it is highly likely a serious campaign finance violation has taken place.”
So what do you think?
Is this an issue of “nothing to see here”?
Or is there more than meets the eye?
