'Course, he was privy to all sorts of insider information so that shouldn't've been very tough to do.
The lakefront cabin was a payoff from the DNC/Hillary Campaign for dropping out of the 2016 race.
Bernie, isn't he the one that lived with his parents into his 30's? And his first job ever was as mayor of some small town? That Bernie?
“Perhaps he made some wise investment.”
I’m no Bernie fan, but this is extraordinarily humble for a US Senator for decades.
He might be the poorest man in the US Senate.
And this “portfolio” is easily acquired on his Senate salary alone.
How does he pay the property taxes and maintenance/upkeep on three houses, all on a Public Servant salary.
Dude never had a paying job till he hit midlife
MARLOW: Let’s talk about maybe the biggest reveal in the Sanders section, which is the media buying and Bernie finding a loophole to really — it appears — make himself incredibly wealthy, and we don’t even know how wealthy.
SCHWEIZER: One of the dirty secrets in Washington, DC, is — if you’re running for office — you do media buys. Alex, if you ran for the Senate and you said to me, “Peter, I want you to buy a million dollars in television ads.” I, as your media buyer, it would show up on the FEC filing that you gave a million dollars to my company. But the industry standard is, I’m entitled to 15 percent of that as a commission for myself, but that never shows up.
Well, Bernie apparently figured this out because Jane, his wife, became his media buyer for his congressional campaigns. So we don’t know exactly how much money she got, but we believe it was probably on the magnitude of $150,000. But the big money came when he ran for president in 2016, and there’s a lot of mystery here, but I think a lot of reason to be concerned because, this time, he’s running for president. He’s got all this money — he’s going to spend $83 million on media buys, 15 percent [of that] is about a $12 million commission.
MARLOW: Where did the $12 million go. Do we know who got it?
SCHWEIZER: We do not, but we have some clues. Here’s the troubling part. So that $83 million goes through a company called Old Town Media. Okay, great. Old Town Media. Well, Old Town Media doesn’t have a website, doesn’t really have other clients at this time, and it’s registered — the LLC of Old Town Media — to this private residential home in suburban Virginia.
MARLOW: That’s typical, right?
SCHWEIZER: Right, exactly. And then you find out who actually owns the home. It’s two old friends of Jane Sanders.
MARLOW: What? No. Not Jane Sanders again. She’s back. So, she’s a big character in this, so we assume that the Sanders’ are basically enriching the Sanders.
