Well, Well, Well
Remember “good old” Sen. Bernie Sanders, Communist Socialist “Independent”-VT? You know, the guy who claims to be the champion of the “little guy” – just like most Communists Progressives do until they get into a position of power, and then turn elitist?
Well, take a gander at this interesting article from Fox News. It seems Bernie-boi and his wife are currently under investigation by the FBI concerning financial improprieties. Specifically, there are questions concerning the accuracy of a loan application submitted by his wife while she was President of Burlington College so that the college could purchase 33 acres of land. There are also questions regarding whether or not Bernie-boi’s office attempted to exert influence on the bank to approve the loan. From the article:
Jane Sanders purportedly distorted school donor levels in the loan application she filed to People’s United Bank, according to the January 2016 complaint. The liberal arts college closed that same year.
Politico also reports that federal prosecutors could be looking into allegations that Sen. Sanders’ office tried inappropriately to get the bank to approve the loan.
Bernie-boi has indicated that the allegations are “nonsense”. But he’s nevertheless refusing further comments, saying that doing so would be “improper”.
Oh, and did I mention that Bernie-boi and wifey have now “lawyered up”? Well, yeah – they have.
Hmm. Sounds to me perhaps more like a case of someone thinking, “Rules are for little people, not Senators and their wives” to me – and getting caught. But maybe that’s just me.
I also find it . . . interesting how Bernie-boi and wifey seems to have started “feeling more heat” not long after a change in Presidential Administrations. Couldn’t be that that Bernie-boi and wifey no longer have anyone willing to provide top cover over at DoJ, could it?
I also have to wonder what a detailed investigation of Bernie-boi’s and wifey’s financial dealings prior to their recent purchase of their 3rd home – the one on the shore of Lake Champlain that he bought for $600k in mid-2016, a couple of months after Burlington College went under – would uncover. I certainly would love to know where the money to buy that place came from.
If you’re surprised about any of this, raise your hands. Yeah, me neither.
Freaking hypocrite.

Improper financial antics…? No-o-o. Really?
Just a question: Does anyone at all in politics have a conscience? Or is that extracted from them when they start campaigning? Earlier? How early do greed and lust set in?
(Goes back to working up notes on medieval civil warfare and how robots may be future troops.)
While I agree that robots might be our future troops, I am leaning into nano scale machines ruling the future battlefields.
Once we get a more advanced version of 3D printing I think we are going to go for nano machines, since it takes less resources to built and are harder to detect, while retaining the lethality of larger machines.
But for that nano manufacturing needs to come out of the lab and into a real factory. Right now it is really hard and expensive to build anything in the nano scale with our big thick fingers. I think 3D printing is the way, but who knows.
Oh, for the few who do not follow tech over here:
1 meter = 1 billion nanometers.
A drone in the nano scale can fly into your nose and kill you without you ever noticing its precense.
A drone can fly up your nose? Yes, and likewise can a mosquito bite you on the spot where the carotid artery is closest to the skin and give you a fatal disease very quickly.
ok, ok, stop picking on that communist nerdy little pricK! he can’t help his brain didn’t develope when he was a tadpole! let him (and her) do their time, then ship them to whatever communist shyt hole to want to go to! imo
“no longer have anyone willing to provide top cover”
I’ll bet there are a lot of Bernies out there who fall into that category.
Bernies and Hillarys and Lorettas and Erics and Chucks and Elizabeths…..
Now that’s “hope and change” we can believe in!
Orwell’s “Animal farm” covered the situation rather nicely.
The “Bosses”, working so very hard for the benefit of the “Masses”, -need- the extra perks, privileges, and benefits. Of -course- they are entitled to it. Why else are they the Nomenklatura, if not to rule? Errr… ” to serve” the People?
Comrade Bernie is just a rank amateur as such things go.
The Progressive/Marxist/Stinker elite to come will make the current crop of scoundrels look like paragons of virtue.
But we can rest assured that our Zampolit will assure us that Comrade Sanders was really the best possible candidate of the recent election, and that under his Wise and Noble guidance, his Selfless Leadership, we will finally achieve the Promised Radient Future.
…
Yeah, no.
The only major difference between Comrade Bernie and the Vengence Harpie, is that Bernie is largely incompetent in things criminal. Plus the distinct possibility that he may be nuts enough to actually believe the Marxist lies he spews. The Vengeance Harpie is many things, but a “True Beleiver” she is not.
Is the left gonna blame Russia for this?
Getting tired of the putin/ russia/ babble-spew being used to override more relevant topics. Has anyone else noted consistent changes in “news” dialogue? The talking heads even seem to share hair dressers, clothing style and dialogue carefully placed to soothe and smooth without actually meaning squat. think about it.
Some animals are more equal than others…especially when pigs learn to walk on two legs.
And so it begins…
I can imagine that Jeff Sessions knows EXACTLY what to look for and where. Popcorn; I need popcorn.
OH GEE WHIZ, another liberal politician with financial and ethical woes with adults at the helm of the Executive Branch? I can’t wait to see how the lame stream liberal mess media will try to spin and/or hide this.
API,
Bernard was on MtP yesterday and Chuck Todd didn’t see a need to even mention it.
Just color me surprised, I wonder how hard they’ll try to censor this?
I’m shocked, SHOCKED I say !!!
Yep, she was paid very a very good salary and outfitted with a nice golden parachute when she crashed that college…the same shit Bernie screeches about the Wall Street fat cats…
I understood why kids got excited about him…he was offering them free stuff…but to see supposedly adult supporters? And if I were a dem, I would have been outraged he could switch to dem just to run in their presidential primaries, milk it for all it was worth, then go back to being an independent..the dude is the consummate mooch
And scam artist.
In all fairness Burlington did file bankruptcy and it would have been rude to return the money to the donors. I mean, he could have bought a $300,000 sporstcar in which to spread the word of Socialism faster but he didn’t…. I hope chokes on his Lobster dinner tonight.
Feel the Bern
Free education? Yeah, Berniebots, you’re getting one.
And look at the cozy little deal his daughter got at well. Nepotism, anyone?
Oh, and Joe/Larsie/idiot trolls, just in case you think this is a FNC right wing conspiracy, CBS has a story on it too.
Anybody who goes on their honeymoon to the Soviet Union is a fucking communist.
Ole Bernie just can’t be honest about it.
Ah yes, I can seethe brochure now:
Come see all the beautiful shades of gray in downtown Moscow. Enjoy wonderful sidewalk conversations with locals, as they wait in line for toilet paper and bread. Come see Lenin and Stalin lying in state…still.
Come see Lenin and Stalin lying in state…still, and sleeping more comfortably than everyone but the high elitist types.
Fixed it for ya.
Feel the BERN!!! Here’s hoping the commie fuck is only the first of many to be investigated by the DOJ. I live west of Asheville NC. I can’t wait to hear the hippies wailing and their heads exploding when comrade Bernie gets indicted!!!
I look forward to seeing a homeless Bernie on Church street selling his little red book.
Not surprised.
Just want to see them throw in jail for 50-to-life. Plus forfeiture of all assets.
Most importantly the asset forfeiture. After all, it’s for the good of the people.
Like so many darlings of the left, he was so big into redistributing other people’s wealth.
Being politically liberal means being generous with everyone else’s money.
“…redistributing other people’s wealth into his own bank accounts.
FIFY
Beat me to it.
I am totally surprised that the FBI is trying to destroy a political opponent of Hillary Clinton. But finds no crime in the destruction of evidence with hammers and bleach bit after a congressional subpoena.
Selling uranium interests to Russia and getting 125 mil, no problem. Get a bank loan in the US omg you goes to jail.
I can picture whatshisface doing this right about now:

I’ll leave this right here for ya…

All the while the JEF is shaking down fees of approximately $400K for an hour speech. His significant other gets slightly less, from what I hear. And many of these speeches are to the evil banking industry we were warned about by these self-righteous tools. These are the same corrupt tools who lectured us on the evils of the Republicans/Conservatives who accepted similar fees for the same efforts.
Yes, I am not surprised either. I’m sure Bernie doesn’t think there’s anything wrong with living high on the hog, as well. The Inner Party always gets the nice rum, wine, cigarettes and coffee, right? I’m sure that he thinks he rates his black jumpsuit and all the niceties that goes with it because, well, he’s just so much smarter or he wouldn’t be a central planner, would he?
Bernie & Jane Scammers. I’m sure the MSM will be all over this wall to wall.
I would bet if they dig enough they will find Hillery bought the house. He got the house right after he conceded. Nothing to see here.
IMHO these days the D-rat party is sinking like Ted *HICCUP!* Kennedy’s Oldsmobile.
They have gotten a lawyer, and have stopped making comments. Pretty smart move. I’d do the same. It’s certainly their right.
As of this moment, they are under investigation, and as such must be considered to be “under suspicion” only. If brought into court, as soon as they arrive at the court house, they become innocent of the charges unless found guilty by a jury. This is the correct and proper way of doing things.
But I’m sitting here with a wicked grin on my face, rubbing my hands together, and giving the most evil laugh I am capable of.
It’s actually worse than that. She caused the college to go completely bankrupt from her shenanigans.
That doesn’t surprise me even one bit. I wonder if Bernie pulled some of his strings to get her that job?
I’d bet it was as easy as, “your next interview is with Jane Sanders, her husband is a US Senator….”
I must be perverted… I would love to see a team of special prosecutors go after all the graft and crookedness in BOTH parties. Confiscate their ill-gotten gains, make ’em poor again, I don’t care which party they belong to or how long they have been there: let the chips (and heads) fall where they may.
Honest government…. bet it would be a third smaller and cost half as much.
Well said David, with exception to the last line..”Honest government…. bet it would be a third smaller and cost half as much.”…Honest government…. bet it would be a half smaller and cost a third as much…. There, fixed it for ya
I don’t know, that would probably take them about 50 years to get through all the evidence, misconduct, fraud, etc. just for people working in DC.
Bernie’s wife has been a not so well kept secret in VT for quite some time with her doings at Burlington College. The MSM were uninterested in investigating her and them it seems but I and many of my friends found them laying out $600,000 for a vacation home in Grand Isle rather fishy. That may not seem like much money elsewhere but in our area it is a chunk of change. It seems being a Socialist does pay after all.
According to tax records, Bern supposedly only make about 205,000 a year? Yeah, that totally supports having THREE houses.
Even with his 12.1% tax rate, unless he has a 1% 75-year mortgage on each house, I’d say there is more to this than meets the eye.
I’m guessing there will be a response of, “I didn’t know that was taxable income, or that, or that, or that, or that. What do you mean my wife has to pay taxes?”
The hypocrisy here is astounding…
Too busy worrying about candidates who lost (common theme with this administration’s narrative) to focus on the blatant violations of these same allegations? Or do you selectively choose which issues to attack? They’re being investigated, same as Drumpf. They’ve “lawyered up”, same as Drumpf and Kushner. It’s what you do when you’re in a legal dispute… No mention of Trump U? Color me surprised… No mention of questionable at best financial dealings from the sitting president? Weird… It’s insane how such blatant nationalism has clouded the judgement of patriots in this country. People talking about nepotism while this President’s daughter and son in law are working for the federal government in positions they are in absolutely no way qualified for make me laugh.
*YAWN*. Yeah right, o candyassed booger-muncher of a cream puff. Is that all you can think of while sulking in your Mommy and Daddy’s basement where you live? Try again, you thumb sucking buck-toothed Swamp Donkey!
I brought facts and a legitimate rebuttal to a debate and that’s the best you have to respond with? Schoolyard insults and false assumptions?
I voted libertarian but voted conservative in every election prior…just don’t like that we have a Russian pawn in the White House.
How’d Drumpf recover from his seventh bankruptcy? Couldn’t have had anything to do with Russian real estate deals could it? How about his relationship with his senior advisor Felx Sater? Or have you been so blindfolded in ignorance that you’ve probably never heard of him? The mob controlled concrete company S&A Concrete that built his condos? The undocumented and illegal Polish workers that built his resort?
Truth hurts, huh snowflake? I can think of a lot more but I doubt you’d do some actual research based on the level of intellect in your post.
