Bernie: Dems lost because they "took they bait," meaning "Wall Street money."

124. But we have to remember, Jane Sanders was in charge of media buys, and a person in that position....

.....customarily gets 5-10% commission on all media buys. Since the Sanders campaign spent more than $100 million (probably a lot more), commissions could have amounted to millions of dollars.

No, Bernard Sanders' financial situation wasn't out of the ordinary, but most likely they filed their tax returns jointly, and would have shown what Jane earned in 2015. Releasing them during the campaign could have been quite embarrassing and, even worse, would have probably shut down the stream of $27 donations on the spot.

Remember, too, Bernard Sanders himself requested and was granted an extension of his Personal Financial Disclosure (required of all Federal elected officials) until after the Convention. Considering their claimed "meager financial position", that disclosure would have taken a mere 15-20 minutes to complete.

I'm anxiously awaiting this year's Personal Financial Disclosure.

Finally, Jane PROMISED, on Andrea Mitchell's show, sitting under the Brooklyn Bridge, that she would release them on April 29. That never happened.
