Sen. Bernie Sanders’ claims that an ongoing FBI probe of his wife is based on partisan politics don’t square with the fact that it began under President Obama and appears to closely track Hillary's opposition research.
The FBI and U.S. Attorney in Vermont are investigating Jane O’Meara Sanders in a failed $10 million college land deal that she orchestrated.
John Podesta, the Clinton team wrote an extensive political opposition memo entitled “Sanders Top Hits-Thematics. Members of the lending agency expressed concern that if O’Meara Sanders was not involved, the loan would not have been approved.”
The opposition research also highlighted numerous media reports, summarizing related scandals, including the fact that Mrs. Sanders took a $200,000 golden parachute when she left the college and, before that, arranged a deal where Burlington College paid her daughter’s company, The Vermont Woodworking School, $55,000, as part of a craftsman decree.
According to attorney Brady Toensing’s complaint, to secure the $10 million, Jane Sanders obtained a $6.5 million loan from the People’s United Bank to buy tax-exempt bonds issued by a state agency, and a $3.65 million second mortgage from the diocese. Sanders reportedly told college trustees and bank lenders that the college had raised $2.4 million to repay the loan, but trustees learned that many of the donors listed in Mrs. Sanders’ materials hadn’t agreed to those amounts.
Since the complaint was filed in January 2016, people and entities involved with the college loan were asked to provide information for the ongoing federal grand jury probe.
“Ms. Sanders and her husband have built political careers pontificating against corporate corruption and claiming to want to help the needy. The loss of $2 million as a result of Ms. Sanders's apparent misconduct will materially detract from this charitable work and cause significant harm to vulnerable Vermonters.”

Exactly as I told my Bernie loving friends a year ago. Bernie will never be the candidate because of his wife getting blackmailed by Hillary.
Wait! Clinton was looking for adverse information about Sanders? But that’s TREASON!
I can see it now - Trump is Hitler, Trump Jr. is a Russian spy, Bernie is corrupt, Pocohauntas is a liar, Biden is too stupid - so who does that leave for 2020? Hildebeast!
What about that new Kali senator the left keeps propping up?
Bernie and Trump were not part of the establishment.
Hillary, Jeb, and Kasich were the establishment. It is a small club.
Doesn’t surprise me that Hillary started this.
Hope it Berns him.
She’s perfect for them, ineligible just like Obama.
Does Kamela meet all of the criteria for the highest office?
“...so who does that leave for 2020? Hildebeast!”
I doubt that you can run from a pine box. I am praying she will be “gone” before 2020 (Slick too). Chappaqua needs a huge enema!
And the Clintons walk free, in spite of huge multiples of Sanders’ culpability.
Kali is an evil puppet of Obama - she is the epitome of the pu$$y hat liberal progressive tarpit.
not a natural born citizen?
Neither parent was a citizen when she was born.
Not a natural born citizen.
Neither of her parents were citizens when she was born.
whew!
Doesn’t mean she won’t run, Obama did and he is not a natural born citizen, either.
Nobody did anything about it.
Once people started to actually support his campaign in large numbers, and he was taking large numbers of delegates/states from Hillary...they(Clinton/DNC)panicked, and teamed up to torpedo him.
If he was legitimate he would have gone after them(Clinton/DNC), if not for himself, then for his supporters.
Instead he bought a $600,000 vacation home...and then kept his mouth shut...while throwing his supports under the bus.
How the wife's legal matters played into it...who knows...the guy's a shyster in the mold of Algore, who played clown for a larger group of shysters, until a larger group of clowns started to support the wrong shyster...then the shyst hit the fan.
So in other words, she’s eligible?
Seems like anybody is.
