Wow. Not good at all.

[An American Tail: Fubart Goes West]

Didn't Scott Walker pay his family a lot for their campaign work?

Well, that makes two corrupt democrats.

Well that's certainly from a reliable source.

[Sorenroy]

Is the Washington Free Beacon big enough to get mass media coverage? I would like to see a response from the Sander's team on this. I would assume that something like this must have emerged before now. It's unsettling to say the least.

[Torie]

Yes, if true, it gets him down into the mud pit with a lot of other Northeastern politicians, particularly those in my own state. He wasn't going anywhere anyway.

[Pyro]

Is this the part of the campaign where Bernie makes his Checkers speech?

[Mehmentum]

According to the article, the information comes from public records.  This should be pretty easy for other news sources to corroborate or debunk.

[Asian Nazi]

Someone needs to put down this crook before he swindles the American people any further.

I know Gawker isn't the most reliable, but, I feel as if it is semi-mainstream media?

That won't help with alienating any of his r/sandersforpresident base. Reddit and Gawker have been feuding for about five years.

lol

I don't think  being compared with Scott Walker is going to do Sanders any favors.

[Lincoln Republican]

What is this world  coming to?

We can't even trust a man of the common people any more!

We can't even trust a man who purports to speak for the down trodden masses anymore!

Well, I guess a crook is still a crook whether they come from a famous political background or whether they rise up from obscurity.

Is it just me or has this story disappeared? I've heard nothing about it outside of Atlas, and considering that it's been three hours, I'd expect some major news company to pick up on it.

The media doesn't have time to talk about things happening to non-entities.

The Sanders campaign should hope the media picks up on this. It only reinforces the story that the establishment is against him, he can play the victim and can even fundraise off of it! The Sanders Strategy.

Thanks, but I didn't need commentary from a biased Hillary supporter.

Neither we do by a hack like you but here you are, still posting.

AGREED! DAMN GILMORE HACKS!

They wrote about this same nothingness like 6 months ago. As for the Hillary hacks in this thread, check out the website, it's a right-wing website that also has a lot of garbage about her.

[Wells]

So it's in the public records, and this hasn't been reported before?
BTW, this is legal and it isn't that terrible. According to Gawker:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

So, Mrs. Sanders got 30,000 dollars per year, and Driscoll received 13,000 dollars per year. They received very little pay for working for a family member's campaign. The horror! Bernie's wife would have received one million dollars if she worked for 34 years. And his daughter would only have to work for 77 years for one million.
Maybe major news sources aren't reporting it because it's a not important.

Crack-pot, right-wing news source about as credible as "Talon News"... remember that one? One of its "journalists" fed a loaded question to the then-President George W. Bush, basically "Why don't you crack doen on Democrats?"

I was pretty sure that I had heard about this (at least the stuff at Burlington college) before.

[Ebsy]

I think the point is that this is the same type of circumstantial nonsense that Clinton is ruthlessly dragged over the coals for and gets her labeled a corrupt liar.
