quote:

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Tuesday broke his silence on an FBI inquiry into his wife Jane Sanders, calling the probe a "pathetic" and politically motivated attack.

"My wife is about the most honest person I know," Sanders said on CNN's "OutFront" Tuesday. "All that I will tell you now is it's a sad state of affairs in America when not only we have politicians being destroyed ... but when you go after people's wives. That's pretty pathetic."




quote:

Sanders also suggested in the video that the inquiry was politically motivated, but wouldn't comment further.


quote:

That's all I'm going to say. I think it's fairly pathetic that when people are involved in public life not only do they get attacked, but their wives and their families get attacked," Sanders added.

The FBI is reportedly looking into whether Jane Sanders falsified loan documents while she served as the president of Burlington College. The small Vermont liberal arts school closed down in May 2016 after going bankrupt and failing to meet accreditation standards. 

A family spokesperson confirmed to the AP on Monday that Sanders has hired a lawyer to protect her interests.





We having fun now ain't we Seltzer man? Hunting ain't no fun when the rabbits got a gun is it you lunatic.

BTW, surely he knows this investigation was started under Comey and Obama's watch right?

No, what's pathetic Senator Sanders is when you hit the streets begging people to rise up and resist and then one of your lackeys attempts to assassinate 15 GOP CONGRESSMEN.

Bernie believes the highest form of " honesty", the highest virtue, is stealing from his neighbors. So there is that.

Yep. But for his politics, no one would be interested in potential bank fraud worth $30 million.

Nope...

He's luck Hillary decided to go after his wife's finances. Sometimes she deals with enemies in other ways.

A crime being ignored by authorities when one party is in power vs. A crime being investigated when another is in power does not equal politically motivated.

That deal at Burlington College was shady.

I really don't doubt that but his other shady associations really aren't relevant to the question of whether she defrauded her creditors with his backing.

I really wanna know if he is trying to spin this as repubs/Trump going after him... or if he is calling out the democratic party that he let bend him over last year.

And of course he doesn't wanna talk anymore about it. Its what libs do best, sling mud and hyperbole and avoid any real discussion of facts.

Guess he forgot about the internal DNC plot that tried to discredit him, then he ended up rolling over to support HRC with campaign funds in hand.
He's more a grifter than political victim.

Sanders Raises $26M in April and Breaks $200M Raised for Campaign

I know you barly want to be Thomas Paine but really youre just an idiot who doesnt understand the point.

The resist movement is the real draining of the swamp movement, which is designed to add more liability to the top 1 percent. Calls for less privatization and more socialized medicine and education.
