Can We Talk About Bernie Sanders And His Wife Being Under FBI Investigation?
Townhall ^ | Jun 26, 2017 | Matt Vespa

Oh, the ghosts of Burlington College are back to haunt the Sanders. In 2016, reports about Sen. Bernie Sander’s (I-VT) wife, Jane, running the college into the ground, coupled with his tax plan, made for some good cannon fodder against the self-described democratic socialist’s financially reckless agenda during the 2016 primaries. Yet, what was missed was the fact that the FBI began peering through the financial records of the college, which had secured a $10 million loan to expand the campus along Lake Champlain. The local Catholic archdiocese had owned the property and had just settled on sexual abuse charges that totaled over $17 million. They were eager to sell. Still, the college’s plan to expand seemed lofty. It only had an enrollment of around 200. In short, this expansion project sunk the college, but the loan to secure the purchase involved Sen. Sanders, who reportedly placed pressure on the People’s United Bank for the loan. Yes, Democrats will deflect saying that, Brady Toensing, Trump’s campaign manager in Vermont, was the one who dug into this transaction and found possible evidence of bank fraud. Still, the couple has dismissed the claims until now; lawyering up for an investigation that has spanned months that was started under the Obama administration. Politico had a lengthy piece on the subject (via Politico):

"the senator’s wife was president of Burlington College, a tiny, obscure, nontraditional school that always seemed to be struggling for students and funds. The letter alleged that to secure a $10 million loan and execute her grand plan to expand the college, Jane Sanders had falsified and inflated nearly $2 million that she’d claimed donors had pledged to repay the loans. Sanders had “successfully and intentionally engaged in a fraudulent scheme to actively conceal and misrepresent material facts from a federal financial institution,” the letter alleged. It pressed for a federal investigation into potential bank fraud."

What’s there to talk about? He is a Socialist, didn’t start working until he was 40 years old, she’s a thief, and they are both liars and they love the Clintons...pretty well sums it up...

Sounds like the Sanders could use a good lawyer, uh, someone good at getting guilty people out of hot messes.

I hear tell that James Comey, who helped the Clintons out of their Whitewater jam, is not too busy right now.

The press is very muted here in Vermont
on this subject.

Check the Burlington Free Press website(gannett news)or vtdigger.com

The local press is covering for him by not reporting.

There are a lot of conservatives here and somewhat closeted.

People of many stripes we’re angered when Jane f*cked up the loan papers and overestimated KNOWINGLY on bank papers.

Then there is the matter of Her daughter getting money from Burl College to run woodworking school as extension of Burl Coll

A LOT of people here in Burlington are seriously upset and they don’t get press from WCAX or WPTZ TV news.
_
And those Bernie supporters esp here haven’t squeaked a mouse’s sentence about him good or bad.

I have no sympathy for him nor his wife.They are socialists busy getting rich

I predict Bernie will crash & burn from this investigation and leave his office as we know it . You see, he’s one of The Swamp Creatures and being investigated by the FBI and to my knowledge hasn’t been called to the carpet on any other investigation by his colleagues.

This investigation is part of draining the swamp

I am so happy I voted for Mr.Trump.

Many many have faltered even voters and supporters of him in believing him as they didn’t think the process was going fast enough . Many many have referred him as to playing 3,4d+ etc chess but I’ll throw this in......

It’s 3,4d+ chess with Jenga!

And oh how the mighty will be falling!

As a side bar I recently read his opinion on Nanny P saying ‘keep her”......
I laughed so hard ...He’s got a plan for her too...omg this is going to be the wildest ride.

I am not sick of winning
Pres Trump IS turning our country around!!

MAGA

If they're not under investigation or already convicted of a crime, it's hard to be a an honest democRAT. They got standards, you know.

Criminal activity and corruption are their bonafides, as the say....
