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.

It also tells you she’s running again, she’s having her minions at FBI clear the path to the nomination for her.

"...they have a good chance of “going away” for a while..."

And once he is safely locked away, the Fake News media will frame the whole prosecution as a Trump administration political vengeance persecution.

Bernie has never had a real job, nor could he hold one if given to him.
His wife is a clueless clone.
Given that, they are liberals and nothing will happen to em.

Small fry...investigative efforts should be focused on Lynch,Obama and Hillary.

Well, I looked it up and it appears they did just elect a Republican governor there in 2016, so I guess they do exist.
