Two theories:
Theory #1:
Bernie was selected by H because his extreme Leftist views would make H look moderate, thereby attracting independents. So the Dems needed to launder money to Bernie to fund and own him. So his neophyte wife Jane gets pointed to a college trust investment officer position where she makes a trust purchase of a $10 mil. private property. She transfers $10 mil. of public trust money into a non-reporting entity. She takes her kickback and gets large. Then H/DNC, Leftists contribute to the college trust to make it whole again -or not.
Theory #2:
The Burlington college directors knew the college was headed for bankruptcy and wanted to raid the trust before the creditors. Jane, an outside patsy, was hired to do the deal because she was not familiar with the plotters. Jane and certain directors got PAID and the college goes belly up, creditors get @%@#@$-ed. Their plan was to cash out as much of the trust before the college went under.
I think the Board of Directors just figured a Senator’s wife had the clout to save their college.
Why do fraudsters like the Clintons and Sanders rip off banks?—Because, as Willie Sutton said, it is where the money is!
