Bernie and Jane Sanders are under criminal investigation for a deal which resulted in a 10 million property deal (https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2017/05/17/burlington-college-campus-purchase-still-coming-back-haunt-jane-sanders)). Jane was in charge of Burlington College. She lied on loan documents to obtain a loan and then used that loan to buy property. The property was bought from the Catholic Church in Vermont and this Church just so happens to be in debt for a sexual abuse scandal.
I have done limited research on this and results on what happened hasn't been easy for me to find. But get this. One of the head priests in this Church was a Kenneth Angell (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Angell)). This is from his wikipedia page, 'In 1989 he promised to "take care of it" when a Providence priest was accused of misconduct with boys while working at a Haitian orphanage'.
WTF is that, how is this topic of Haitian orphanages popping up in a Bernie Sanders criminal investigation about loans.
To sum up what happened. The Sanders helped to steal 10 million dollars and then funneled it off to a Church which has a proven record of sexual abuse of children and sexual abuse of children in Haiti.

Not surprised. Knew this guy was a hypocrite. Plus they needed something big on him to keep him quiet.
