Sure he is not qualified to be a president. He can't even help his wife to run a college. And bankruptcy directly affects him - it's his family, his wife, their retirement. Unless he was open to dump her, of course. |
She took a college that was failing and turned it around. Took their annual fundraising from $15,000 to over a million a year. Greatly increased enrollment. Got them several top academic rankings. She retired from the college within a year of getting them that loan and getting them a new campus. It's true that some of the other donations didn't pan out or sustain but that was after she was already long gone and falls upon whoever succeeded her to run the school and raise funds. The school didn't fail on her watch, it failed 5 years after she was gone. |
And... neither she nor Bernie personally benefitted for one single penny from the loan. |
It's bank fraud. It's illegal. |
Do what now? Also, it's the college went bankrupt. Jane Sanders and Bernie Sanders are different people, and neither of them are Burlington College. |
More accurately, it might be bank fraud. |
The bank agreed to loan money based on future speculative fundraising. Yes, it sounds like poor judgement on the part of the bank, but they agreed to it. So where's the fraud? Meanwhile, Sanders brought in a big chunk of the funds exactly as promised but then retired and was no longer responsible for the fundraising. That fell on whoever came after her. Are they also part of the "fraud?" Are the bank managers part of the "fraud" for going along with it? Explain this to us, please... |
One also notes that the bank isn't saying it's fraud, nor is the college or anyone else directly involved. Nor did any state or federal regulators or higher education oversight agencies. The accusation of fraud is coming solely from a Republican operative. |
The rationalizations and excuses are fantastic, aren't they?!! ![]() |
Why it's all explained there in the legal document on the first page, if you would read it. |
More accurately, it's all asserted there. Also, I am not a lawyer. Is a letter from a lawyer, requesting an investigation into somebody or something, generally considered to be "a legal document"? |

Wow! Shame on Bernie. |
Wasn't she a prominent figure in his campaign? In fact, she was the one in charge of releasing his tax returns. She just couldn't find them, darn it. |
