"I have never taken a penny from Leslie- in fact I have GIVEN her more than any other candidate ever."
Ah, does that statement only apply to direct payments, or to any kind of payment, direct or indirect? Are you stating for the record that Leslie has never paid some other entity which has in turn paid you? You have never received any remuneration based (in whole or in part) on your activities on behalf of Leslie Byrne?
(Since you support Hillary Clinton, one has to be very careful in asking you questions.)
Ben, We understand you are an expert in classlessness.

Raising Kaine, run by Lowell Feld, who has been paid by the Byrne campaign for online advising. Clearly such an award was unbiased...

Lowell was REIMBURSED for some costs for online fundraising- hardly "paid" for anything.

What about the Byrne Brigade ad on this page? Is Leslie paying you for it? Did you charge her for creating it?
If not, it is an inkind contribution to her campaign and you must report it as such under FEC regulations. The Byrne campaign must also report it.
Looks like you and the Byrne campaign are violating FEC regs.

I can't believe Leslie Byrne allows herself to be associated with this disgrace of an online publication

Associated?
Where do you think little Benjamin gets his stuff?
