MONTPELIER, Vt. — Sen. Bernie Sanders has pushed hard for transparency on U.S. trade and campaign finance, but has been far less aggressive in disclosing his own personal finances.

Now his wife and campaign confidante, Jane O'Meara Sanders, is defending the senator's decision not to file a candidate personal finance disclosure and talking about the purchase of a new vacation home.

Advances on books are a long-time leftist method of providing Leftists with payola.

Whether the book gets written or sold does not matter. It is payola.

Witness the student Obama, the Clintons, Kennedy and rafts of others.

re: Bernie's fictional book deal.I wouldn't read the words "I", "It", and "was" if it was in a book about the leech-like socialist.

She was the President of a very small, non-traditional college in Burlington. They went bankrupt last Spring.

Sanders and the Vermont Commies are a dirty group of people.

Agree - and thanks for that info.

She said she sold her share of her family’s long-time vacation home in Bridgton, Maine, to her brother for $150,000....

That dollar figure is new to me.

When posting at moonbats they always defend his house purchase as a 'flip' from one house (wife's side of the family inheritance) to this new one.

But it was only $150K from the Maine house

Time to inform the Moonbats...

Jane O’Meara Sanders a big , fat , Liberal prog douche bag

This pic verifies the "big, fat" of your description. I think she's been eating some of the campaign donations.

Technically, it's not a vacation home.

It's a dacha. Dacha.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Well said.

I answered their poll questions "Will you vote in the 2016 presidential election?" Results: Yes 94% No 10% HUH? Ah, quick verification that at least 4% of Dems and commies will be voting twice.

Sanders and the Vermont Commies are a dirty group of people.

Vermont Commies are a bunch of Brooklyn (Crooklyn) “Progressives” who decided in the 1970’s to steal an underpopulated east coast state from Rock ribbed conservatives and turn it into a socialist paradise.

[Freedom'sWorthIt]

Yep.

It takes big bucks for the upkeep of three houses...

The_Media_never_lie :" Socialism for the little guy, but capitalism for me!"

Rules for thee
but not for me !
Abuse of the system of financial disclosure by candidates, indeed.

[elcid1970]

Filthy capitalist dollars, Senator? I thought you progressives never touch the stuff!

Hypocrites.

[heavy9]

You are so correct //the North East Kingdom of Vermont is still somewhat conservative and the rest of the state wizards of smart calls us woodchucks.
Stay strong, stay safe, and stay on message Mr. Trump

“On another financial matter, Jane Sanders said she and her husband paid cash — $575,000 — for the four-bedroom summer house they recently bought in North Hero, Vermont, on the Lake Champlain shore. She said she sold her share of her family’s long-time vacation home in Bridgton, Maine, to her brother for $150,000, added some money from her retirement account and from an advance her husband got on a book he is writing to come up with the money to buy the couple’s third home.”

Some money from her retirement account?

Went bankrupt after The Burn’s wife had the College buy a new LAKEFRONT campus....

Great minds think alike! Dacha it is indeed!
