Scope & limitations

  • A report by the committee is evidence of what it disclosed; it is not an invoice or an independent bank reconciliation.
  • The stated purpose is Campaign Literature. No title, ISBN, unit count, unit price, contract or purchase-specific royalty allocation is identified.
  • A publisher vendor entry does not establish payment to Sanders personally, royalty retention, improper personal use or wrongdoing.
  • This selected packet covers Friends of Bernie Sanders (C00411330) and the stated recipient search, not every Sanders-related committee or every possible book vendor.
  • All twelve selected rows are memo-coded X; no ordinary direct Penguin Random House disbursement appears among these selected rows.
  • The four 2024 Q2 vendor memos are identical in amended filing 1859508 and original filing 1800278. Only the amended version is counted.
