The People’s Bank Bernie bank fraud is a classic example of how politics works.

Bernie’s wife submitted fraudulent documents to obtain a multi-million dollar loan for the college she ran.

When the bank saw through the fraud and indicated they were going to deny the loan they received a phone call from Bernie’s office reminding them who Bernie was and what he could do to them (through bank regulators).

That was threats and extortion—clear criminal acts.

The bank relented and gave Jane the loan—which of course she defaulted on—so the bank took the loss.

Sanders is a common criminal. Period.

Bernie will say his threat to the bank was "a perfect phone call".

I think the media has dropped this important story and it should be rubbed in Crazy Bernie's ugly face at every opportunity. Threats and fraud.
