120. Donna negotiated Gore's joint fundraising agreement in 2000.

Fri Nov 3, 2017, 08:22 PM

Nov 2017

The Clinton campaign used that agreement to establish precedent:

"The Clinton campaign points as a model to Al Gore’s 2000 campaign: well ahead as a front-runner himself long before he was the nominee, Gore also demanded restrictions on DNC spending out of his joint fundraising agreement until his campaign took full control."

Hillary's JFA was amended after she secured the nomination. SunSeeker Nov 2017 #107

That document reads EXACTLY as Donna Brazile said it did. virtualobserver Nov 2017 #35

and as you can see, it doesn't have the money laundering feature with the state parties virtualobserver Nov 2017 #57

There was no "money laundering feature". There is a federal statute lapucelle Nov 2017 #69

it is still a loophole that allows individual donors to give, in this case, $353,000 virtualobserver Nov 2017 #117

Sanders had the same provision in his agreement with the DNC. lapucelle Nov 2017 #126

She raised $80,000,000 for the DNC and Democratic candidates. lapucelle Nov 2017 #155

Bernie's agreement does not include the state parties virtualobserver Nov 2017 #135

So you agree it's a nothingburger then? moriah Nov 2017 #142

funneling $80 million supposedly raised for state parties back to Hillary isn't a nothingburger virtualobserver Nov 2017 #147

That is untrue...and one of the reasons states waited for their money is that the race went on too Demsrule86 Nov 2017 #174

So Bernie declined raising money through a joint financial agreement... ehrnst Nov 2017 #145

He did not believe in the subversion of campaign finance laws created by the Supreme Court decision virtualobserver Nov 2017 #151

Again, that was his choice. He walked away from the JFA, and Hillary did not. ehrnst Nov 2017 #152

Then why won't Bernie release his tax returns and campaign finance reports? yardwork Nov 2017 #206
