Bernie has disavowed Super Pacs -- but he can't stop them from working on his behalf.

He can't control them at all, other than not allowing them to use his name in their titles.

Neither can Hillary or Martin, both of whom also oppose Super Pacs and their shady financing but can't legally stop the orgs from working on their behalf.

Sanders himself has disavowed super PACs, which have no contribution limits, and his campaign has demanded that Peterson curtail his operation. But there is little the U.S. senator from Vermont can actually do to stop passionate supporters — or opportunists — from launching such groups.

Super PACs are largely unregulated by the Federal Election Commission. Pretty much anyone can form one, including political professionals, college kids and even convicted criminals. And the prominence of social media means these unofficial groups may easily tap online support for a popular candidate like Sanders.

Campaign finance watchdogs say this creates a buyer-beware situation for donors, especially if the super PAC’s name is similar to that of the candidate.

Peterson, a self-described “lobbyist” and “diplomat” prone to making extravagant claims about his business operations, initially took this approach, naming Americans Socially United both “Ready for Bernie Sanders 2016” and “Bet on Bernie 2016” before the FEC made him change it. The super PAC has also failed to file campaign finance disclosures, in violation of federal law.

1. Hahaha! Peterson is spending ZERO on Bernie's campaign. He is a scammer.

3. That doesn't change the fact that by law none of the candidates can control any activities

of any Super Pacs -- other than not allowing the use of their name. So they are free to support any candidate any way they wish.

2. Correct the Record SuperPAC seems to think it can coordinate just fine with the Hillary Campaign
