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. Sanders is such a fraud. |

| Jane Sanders is being investigated for something she did at work, therefore Bernie Sanders is a fraud? |

Link According to Politico, prosecutors might also be looking into allegations that Sen. Sanders' office inappropriately urged the bank to approve the loan. Burlington attorney and Sanders supporter Rich Cassidy has reportedly been hired to represent Sen. Sanders. And high-profile Washington defense attorney Larry Robbins, who counseled Libby "Scooter" Robbins, former Chief of Staff for the Vice President, is protecting Jane Sanders. Bernie was in on it too! Yes, frauds. Both frauds. Charges of fraud. |

I think that you might be leaping to conclusions. Here's a link to the piece from Politico (note: it's a long piece): http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/06/22/bernie-sanders-jane-sanders-lawyer-bank-fraud-investigation-burlington-college-215297 (Also, if the FBI were investigating me, I would want to hire a lawyer, were I never so innocent. And so would you, probably.) |

Fine. If he possibly did something wrong, he should be investigated. If they find he did something wrong, he should face the consequences under the law just as anyone else would.
We need to investigate these types of actions everywhere, to try and keep our politics as clean as possible. ~Bernie voter. |

| I think the rule should be that everyone should be investigate about as much as Clinton has. Democrats and Republicans alike. Fair is fair. |
