Another case that doesn’t surprise:
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.
Sander’s wife could not tolerate thinking about her college not acquiring that extra land. She could destroy the college financially, but her brain is not designed to think about that. All it sees is resources, all it feels is want, and everything else on the cognitive front is just about making it happen.
I saw this in my own narcissist periodically. He would fixate on some super-expensive item, convince himself he needed it, and then hold out his hands, as if helpless, and say, “Well I can’t do X unless I have this, so I have to get it!” He mannerisms were as if explaining that he was helpless in the decision. I’m sure Sander’s wife’s attitude was the same, as she financially destroyed the entire college.
There are people today trying to get monkeys declared human so they can be freed to manage their own affairs. I suspect if the full truth about leftists were ever introduced to courts, every liberal would need a K-selected conservator to run their financial decisions for them, and maybe even to vote for them.
It is worth noting that from a political standpoint, there may be more at play here. The acting FBI director here was McCabe, who is tight with DNC power-player and Governor Terry McAuliffe, who organized the funding of McCabe’s wife’s political run. Both are seamlessly integrated into the establishment. It is not impossible this is the Democrat Party putting Bernie in a corner, and damaging him so he can’t run for office in the future. I’m sure the GOP is wishing they had done this to Trump when they had the chance. Of course they are still trying today.
If I were President Trump, I would appeal to Bernie’s voters with a tweet pointing out that politics today is about the people vs the establishment, and the establishment is trying to take everyone out, including him and Bernie. At the very least he might poison those Bernie voters against the Democrat Party’s next candidate, using raw hatred for the entire DC establishment. And he would soil the Establishment as a whole, and delegitimize their bogus investigation’s targeting his administration.
