I have to say that was rather suspicious.
Is there any evidence that Bernie was personally involved in whatever happened at Burlington College? I do not believe in punishing someone for the actions of their spouse.
Bernie could have got a copy of his tax return and released it.
and yes:“… allegations that the senator’s wife, Jane Sanders, had committed fraud in obtaining bank loans for the now defunct Burlington College, and that Sanders’s Senate office had weighed in.”
Allegations, there is no evidence; this is most likely slander. Just wait till the conclusion when nothing happens, typical. I’m sure every republican board will have blaring headlines stating " BERNIE ON THE FENCE, FRAUD, BIGLY, MAGA, PEDE, " very informative stuff.
There is no evidence, other than the unsupported allegation by the author of the link in the OP, that Bernie is part of this investigation. If it can be verified that he is under investigation, we can safely assume there is some evidence that he was involved. Until then, it’s just speculation.
I thought you can’t do that if you’re under investigation.
I’m not sure if this counts, but Sanders and his wife have hired separate lawyers. This obviously doesn’t prove that he’s guilty of anything, and doesn’t even prove that he’s under investigation. But it suggests that he might be under investigation or thinks he might shortly become so.
I would think they would hire separate lawyers because they have very different issues to worry about in addition that the optics might be even worse with a shared lawyer. It would officially wrap her shenanigans on the loan application with the accusations that he attempted to influence the bank’s decision.
I waffled back and forth on whether I believed that Bernie believed her excuse.
Of course. If he needs a lawyer altogether, he needs a separate lawyer. My point in writing “separate” was that he hired his own lawyer, which indicates that he at least suspects that he might himself be under investigation, and it’s not just his wife’s lawyer.
Audit. Can’t do it if you’re under audit. If you are also under investigation, that’s Double Secret Prohibition.
No, I can’t see how that that would count as evidence that he’s under investigation. It might be that unless someone at the FBI leaks it to the press, we simply won’t know.
Hard left Lib here. Personally I’m thrilled with this. Anything to keep this guy from running again and ensuring a full 8 years of Trump works for me.
He’ll be 78 years old. He’s not running again.
And he didn’t run last time.
I have to wonder why a “hard left Lib” would want eight years of Trump.
Why on earth would you think that?
Psst, they’re making fun of Trump’s excuses for hiding his tax returns.
Yeah, I figured that out after I posted.
If you’re a Democrat, it even disqualifies you from office. The Man Himself said so.
