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.”)
Now, Senator Sanders and his wife are taking the case more seriously. Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ longtime top political adviser who heads Sanders’ political organization, Our Revolution, confirms to Politico Magazine that Bernie and Jane Sanders have lawyered up. The couple has retained Rich Cassidy, a well-connected Burlington attorney and Sanders devotee, and Larry Robbins, the renowned Washington-based defense attorney who has represented I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby and disgraced former Rep. Bill Jefferson, to represent Jane Sanders in the matter.
Now, President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is handling an investigation that will proceed at the discretion of a U.S. attorney of Vermont that Trump has yet to appoint.

Those DC lawyers’ bills get very expensive and get expensive very fast.
A surprisingly well written article considering the source.
It’s a given ... they are both communist and therefore “the ends justify the means” to get the bucks into their elitist pockets.
Sanders might have to sell that new house
None if this would have been uncovered if Hillary had been elected,
WINNING!!!!
This is Dem payback. The investigation started under Obama. They wanted to eliminate the Socialist turned Democrat now reverted back to Socialist. The Bernie wing of the party is a threat to the Dem Establishment. They are the extremists and bomb throwers who disavow the corporate paymasters who run the Dem party.
People here that dont understand how LE works should take note of that time frame. Six months ago could you have said nothing to see..they have been at it a year so there must not be any evidence
..of course not
And there is no one around now who is going to pull a Lynch and cut off the investigation. Bernie has some serious legal problems. I hope Sessions sees this through to its logical conclusion.
He is not a rich man..this could bankrupt him. Will someone come to his rescue with $$$$
Bernie’s usefulness to the DNC is over, time to take out the trash.
The stupid cuck thought that caving in to the crime and the pressure would save him. I predict that Bernie will be so upset about the investigation that he will commit suicide by shooting himself - twice in the back of the head.
Lock her up too.
After 18 mo., it would seem that the FBI need to engage the services of a protologist with a flashlight to help them find their collective @$$ and get it in gear.

If they are like the rest of the DOJ, they can find in their hearts no inclination toward doing anything good. These bureaucrats are servants of evil, and we must get them out of their sinecures.
Is Hillary going to run again. Are “THEY” clearing the decks for her to run again?
Apparently they are still working to get rid of Bernie. Why, other than someone wants him out of the way?
Six months ago could you have said nothing to see..they have been at it a year so there must not be any evidenceUnlike the witch hunt on the President there actually is evidence. Anyone who has paid even the slightest bit of attention knows that.
The difference some dimwits don't understand, even the ones who pretend they know how LE works is, there IS evidence of wrong doing to look at in the Sander's case...With the President, they're looking FOR evidence of wrong doing.
Nice try though.
Have you read anything about Sater.
You can bet the connection to trump and his kids will cause there to be Intense Investigation.
You dont Try to buy stingers from osama without some crazy connections
Btw..you clearly dont understand Investigations..and why they can take years.and why they can veer from origination point. Case in point. The thread piasa pinged me to from 15 years ago.
Investigation started over 9 11...feds nailed him and fbi agents on something unrelated
One more thing..just read a few of the stories about Saters crazy shenanigans that he has gotten away with because he obviously is an important asset...Insert john doe to replace trumps name..and then cogitate if there is a basis to Investigate.
Frankly..sater is so well protected that truth will never be uncovered
They cant allow it
