Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his wife, Jane Sanders have hired prominent defense attorneys, amid an FBI investigation into a loan Jane Sanders obtained to expand Burlington College while she was its president, CBS News confirms.
Politico Magazine first reported the Sanders had hired lawyers to defend them in the probe. Sanders top adviser Jeff Weaver told CBS News the couple has sought legal protection over federal agents' allegations from a January 2016 complaint accusing then-President of Burlington College, Ms. Sanders, of distorting donor levels in a 2010 loan application for $10 million from People's United Bank to purchase 33 acres of land for the institution.
According to Politico, prosecutors might also be looking into allegations that Sen. Sanders' office inappropriately urged the bank to approve the loan.

Welp

He shoulda consulted Sen. DiFi on how to get away with sneakily framing legislation to benefit the spouses bidness.
Yes, it did and that unsustainable loan is the big reason why.
She screwed/bankrupted the school with some bogus land deal that made absolutely no sense at its face, funneled school funds to family in some off campus student workshop deal, and laughed all the way to the Swiss bank, no doubt.
Other than that, she is working for the children so quit being such a racist...;- )
Not to defend the two socialist rats, but innocent until proven guilty. The FBI has left a bad taste in my mouth lately. I side eye them.
Sounds very bad.
“Man Of The Peeps”.
“They are communist, which is even better than democrat on the feee pass scale, so whatever “Law” doesn’t apply to them.”
Normally a magic, silver bullet. Here, however, not so much because Bernie got the Witch and Obola really pissed. Then PRESIDENT Trump got elected and appointed a reasonably honorable AG. Upshot being, Bernie and his wife are in deep, brown, smelly do-do.
Somewhere Kamela Harris and Obunga are very happy.
$10 Million is chump change, compared to the Clinton Crime Family Pay to Play Uranium Switcheroo to Russia $6 Billion State Dept Funds Vanishing under Hitlary’s Sec. of State Regime. All I hear is crickets!
Gee, I wonder who ordered that investigation - Comey - which means Hillary. Just coincidentally, right when she started to realize the old hippie was going to be a problem.
Bernie should feel lucky he wasn't given the Seth Rich treatment.
The Bern me’s practice equality of socialist finances.
Bernie’s taking$ = Bernie’s receiving$.
Yep! The timing makes sense. Comey was HRC bitch.
Is there a wealthy Republican in Vermont who could mount a serious challenge to this guy? It’s a huge longshot, but this guy has never been seriously challenged for his record and ridiculous ideas and corruption - voting to create problems he then campaigns to solve, policies which prompt corporations to get bigger and bigger and then he then rails against it, etc. If he were actually challenged strongly with a powerful, full-fledged serious campaign which actually forces him to confront and defend his insanity with the voters it could have an effect, even in Vermont.
Grifters and crony-capitalists. No different than the Clintons.
A Vermont Republican? Have they released and reintroduced any into the state’s forests recently?
Wonder if the Democrats will end up nominating a serious candidate to run against him next year to try to rid themselves of him.
It’s bizarre that he was allowed to run for their presidential nomination when he is not a Democrat.
“Gee, I wonder who ordered that investigation - Comey - which means Hillary. Just coincidentally, right when she started to realize the old hippie was going to be a problem.”
SCORE!! That’s, IMHO, why the FBI investigated and the local U. S. Attorney has decided to go with a grand jury. Bernie and, especially his wife, being dirty as Hell in this, they have a good chance of “going away” for a while.
