It just gets sadder and sadder for Bernie. He is losing this primary decisively and now he is trying to create a miracle with some very negative and erroneous attacks.
In the latest, Bernie Sanders of all people is accusing Hillary's team of violating election law.
"Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign on Monday accused Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign of possibly violating campaign finance laws through its joint fundraising agreement with the Democratic National Committee."
"Brad Deutsch, the lawyer for the Sanders campaign, wrote an open letter to DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz arguing that the Clinton campaign's Hillary Victory Fund, the joint account between the campaign and various Democratic Party committees, "skirts legal limits on federal campaign donations." The fund is made up of the Clinton campaign, 32 state Democratic committees, and the DNC."
"The Hillary Victory Fund has reported receiving several individual contributions in amounts as high as $354,400 or more, which is over 130 times the $2,700 limit that applies for contributions to Secretary Clinton's campaign," the letter reads. "Bernie 2016 is particularly concerned that these extremely large-dollar individual contributions have been used by the Hillary Victory Fund to pay for more than $7.8 million in direct mail efforts and over $8.6 million in online advertising, both of which appear to benefit only HFA by generating low-dollar contributions that flow only to HFA, rather than to the DNC or any of the participating state party committees."
"The challenge by the Sanders campaign follows Clinton's attacks on the Vermont senator that he hasn't been a team player for the Democratic Party. The letter comes a few days after a recent Federal Elections Commission report showed that Clinton raised $33 million through the account, some of which came from donations larger than $350,000 from big Democratic donors."

This is absurd. Bernie is kicking the Democratic party in the teeth by not raising any money for the party. Now he's adding insult to injury by falsely claiming that she is breaking campaign rules.
"The $2,700 limit applies to her own campaign not the Victory Fund which raises money for the Democratic party. This is so the Dems can win back the Senate and put Democrats in the Supreme Court."
Robert Mook from HFA comes back strong:
"In a statement Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook called the charges "baseless."
"It is shameful that Senator Sanders has resorted to irresponsible and misleading attacks just to raise money for himself," Mook said. "Instead of trying to convince the next generation of progressives that the Democratic Party is corrupt, Senator Sanders should stick to the issues and think about what he can do to help the Party he is seeking to lead."

What's ironic, is that Bernie's campaign has been accused multiple times of violating election laws in his fundraising by the FEC.

As a New Yorker, I can tell you, we're sick of this BS.
"At a rally at Co-op City in the Bronx last week, Assemblyman Michael Benedetto riled up the crowd for Clinton by noting, “Only one of them is a Democrat,” to cheers. Bronx City Councilman Andy King kept up the theme. “We don’t want any BS here,” (also, only in New York have I heard people mock Sanders by his initials.) “It’s good to be Democrats, and it’s good to be for Hillary.” Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz Jr. derided the Sanders supporters who rallied in the Bronx earlier this month carrying “The Bronx is berning” signs—a tone deaf play on the infamous 1978 World Series, when the New York Yankees played against a backdrop of arson and urban despair. It is not a punch line to Bronx residents. “The Bronx will not feel the Bern” on Tuesday, he predicted. “In fact, the Bronx hasn’t been burning for decades.”
