Jane Sanders is accused of fraudulently distorting donor information to get a loan from a bank for the now defunct Burlington College and Bernie Sanders himself is accused of using his political influence to pressure the bank into giving the loan. Bernie had been trying to deflect and downplay the investigation, but apparently things are heating up: Sanders and his wife have been trying to ignore the federal investigation since reporters for VTDigger, an online publication, confirmed the FBI’s involvement in April. The original request for an investigation into the potential bank fraud did indeed come from Brady Toensing, an attorney who chaired Trump’s Vermont campaign, and whose January 2016 letter to the U.S. attorney for Vermont put federal agents on the trail. (Toensing, in an email to Politico Magazine, notes, “The investigation was started more than a year ago under President Obama, his Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and his United States Attorney, all of whom are Democrats.”) --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...

On January 10, 2016, in the midst of Sanders’ sudden stardom—just weeks before the votes in Iowa and New Hampshire—the U.S. attorney for Vermont was sent a “Request for an Investigation into Apparent Federal Bank Fraud.” --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ... Copied to Clipboard!

The investigation was started more than a year ago under President Obama, his Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and his United States Attorney, all of whom are Democrats. The DNC established contingencies if Bernie somehow thwarted their predestined plans for Hillary. That's genuinely amazing. --- My friends call me Vee. I'm not your friend, buddy. ...

Further proof that no one is as clean as they want to be or think that they are.
This is a bad look for the democrats because they don't have anyone to runq against Trump, as he sadly won't be Impeahced, in the 2020 election. --- We are who we choose to be. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Of course I hadn't heard of it, just like most hadn't heard of all the accusations about the Clinton Foundation, either, and still haven't... The media hides it as long as they can, when it involves the left.

This article doesn't explain any way Bernie abused his power. It says he may have applied pressure but it doesn't say how or when or even speculate beyond "he may have." It doesn't seem unreasonable to investigate the spouse of someone who is being investigated for "bank fraud."

I mean, does anyone really want a 79-year-old first termer? To be fair, Reagan was 70 when he was elected, at a time when average life expectancy was about 10-15 years shorter than it is now, so there's technically precedent for it. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Also kinda noteworthy:
https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/05/17/burlington-college-campus-purchase-still-coming-back-haunt-jane-sanders Sanders left with a buyout package totaling a reported $200,000 and was succeeded in the presidency by her chief financial officer, Christine Plunkett. Bernie Sanders, who railed against golden parachutes for CEOs, had a wife who took a $200k golden parachute after bankrupting the college she ran. The Wave Master posted... This is a bad look for the democrats because they don't have anyone to runq against Trump, as he sadly won't be Impeahced, in the 2020 election. Elizabeth Warren, Cory Booker, Cuomo (assuming he's not in jail), and more are still around. In general, though, a 2020 Sanders run never looked feasible. If they were rolling out the geriatric wing, though, Joe Biden would probably get the nomination. Jen0125 posted... This article doesn't explain any way Bernie abused his power.

It doesn't seem unreasonable to investigate the spouse of someone who is being investigated for "bank fraud." I'm sure the particulars will come out if it goes to trial, but generally speaking senators' offices *do* have contact with banks, etc, and it seems like pretty garden variety corruption allegations. Bearing in mind that the article doesn't seem to specify the origins of the second letter to prosecutors, which may have even come from somebody who worked at the bank. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash ...

I'll believe it when I see guilty. And even then, it doesn't come close to the caliber of the typical politician's literal backstabbing of their country.

Holy crap, can we find a politicion that is a corrupted douchnozzle? Glad we didn't hire him for president now. The only other one of the the candidates i liked was Kasich. Besides him i think the rest of the candidates were unqualified or too sleezy.
