Sanders Says His Wife Did Nothing Wrong. What's This About?

[Freewill]

Maybe this is how Sanders can afford to buy vacation homes.

Since they are looking into the allegations the left wing has to admit that she is guilty, just like they do with Trump.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders has been getting asked a lot lately about something that happened seven years ago — a complicated 2010 land deal involving a small Vermont college run at the time by his wife, Jane.

The reason Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., has been parrying reporters' questions is a reported federal probe into his wife's handling of the matter.

The Washington Post reported earlier this month that Department of Justice officials are collecting evidence connected to alleged unfulfilled donation promises made by Jane Sanders during her tenure as president of Burlington Collegethat allowed the school to secure millions of dollars in financing to buy more land.

It isn't a mystery --- Jane inherited property in Maine and sold it to buy a different one on Lake Champlain.

Not friggin' rocket surgery. Nor does it have anything to do with her husband.

It is in the news, therefore they are both guilty. If they hire lawyers there is no other conclusion.

REEEally. So anyone who hires a lawyer is guilty are they?

Bad nooz for Rump. After all --- 'there is no other conclusion'.

You can't be serious. The man and his wife bought a vacation home valued at about $575K to $600K. Have you looked at his tax returns and financial disclosure statements? What is financially implausible or odd about someone in his age and income range buying such a modest vacation home?

Bernie Sanders vacation cottage:

One might legitimately think something unusual transpired were he to have purchased a vacation home like the ones below, but he didn't.

​

Most importantly, at least for now, is that Sanders isn't screaming that the DoJ shouldn't conduct its investigation. He's denying wrongdoing, which is expected and what nearly everyone does, and he's content to let the investigation proceed on its natural course, which is not Donald Trump or his Trumpkins' attitude toward the "Russia" investigation.

Okay....The woman relied on sources of revenue that did not materialize. What are we to make of that?

• Did she misrepresent the money as being more assured than it indeed was? I don't know.
• Did she misrepresent the money as enforceable claims to cash rather than donation promises? I don't know.
• Did the trustees not understand what Mrs. Sanders did in fact say and thereby construe her remarks to mean something they did not? I don't know. (I do know that at such small institutions/organizations, board trustees can be quite financially unsophisticated and not necessarily know they are.) [1]

I know that Mrs. Sanders says she made claims of one nature and the trustees say they were of a differing nature. Right now, I don't need to know. The DoJ is investigating. I can wait to learn what it finds.

From the WaPo article:

The investigation centers on the 2010 land purchase that relocated Burlington College to a new campus on more than 32 acres along Lake Champlain. While lining up a $6.7 million loan and additional financing, Jane Sanders told college trustees and lenders that the college had commitments for millions of dollars in donations that could be used to repay the loan, according to former trustees and state officials.

Trustees said they later discovered that many of the donors had not agreed to the amounts or the timing of the donations listed on documents Jane Sanders provided to a state bonding agency and a bank. That led to her resignation in 2011 amid complaints from some trustees that she had provided inaccurate information, former college officials said.

The land deal, the officials said, became a financial albatross for the 160-student school, contributing to its closure last year.​

Note:

1. I'm helping a small charity (it has a trust that generates about $1M/year) that has exactly that problem. The trustees mean well and mean to do the right and sage things, but have no clue that what they've been doing is neither, nor do they know what they should be doing and how to do it. The trustees aren't stupid; they just aren't savvy in the ways and requirements of sound financial management and operations.

But wait, that's different

Bank fraud is very serious. Crazy Bernie needs to testify as to his involvement that AND his collusion with Crooked Hillary and the MSM to attack our democracy. Meanwhile Crazy Bernie's wife should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and serve her time for Bank fraud.

^^ Capitalizes "bank" like it's some kind of god.

That's almost as funny as not being able to tell the difference between "Jane O'Meara Sanders" and "Bernie Sanders". I guess it's the old "they all look alike to me" dance all over again.

Or maybe it's the old "you have to take out their families" dance all over again. I can't tell. Partisan hack memes all look alike to me.
