Bernie and Jane Sanders, under FBI investigation for bank fraud
 

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.

Does America have any honest politicians?

But he's for the people...

Sounds much to me that the Trump Administration is trying to muddy the water for his possible contenders before the next election that he knows he can't win !

After all Sanders stands as the one viable voice left in the political world. Sure to give Trump plenty of headaches for his agenda.

I understand shes under investigation, but him seriously?
"might also be" that doesn't exactly sound solid.

A drop in the pool compared to the number of on going and past investigations(and settlements) of chump

Sen. Sanders, formerly mayor of Burlington, Vermont's largest city, regards the claims as a political game levied against him after his run for president in the 2016 primary election, a platform which has transformed the small-state senator into an influential voice in American liberal politics.

The more politicians Trump can get investigated, the less detrimental his investigation seems, to the general public.

Gowdy will muddy the waters for Trump too, opening investigations into multiple politicians and/or their aids, like a banana republic.

Do you even take the time on read? It has nothing to do with bernie.
