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.

Jane is being investigated for a deal regarding the Burlington Roman Catholic Diocese property. We know that. There was a Post on here yesterday convicting both of them before the investigation has even begun. You have been a member for 1 1/2 hrs. so I am sorry I will have to wait until I see what other comments are in your history before I take your word. You say you have done limited history and for THAT you want to ruin someone's reputation with something so heinous as raping children. Shame on you. Just because someone at the church is connected to Haiti you are charging Bernie with pedophilia? I am sorry that is guilt by association. Sorry that just does not cut it. I think that possibly there is a Witch Hunt of sorts going on since yesterday. I also am really surprised by some of the members that have just fallen in line so quickly. BREAKING NEWS: As I am typing this I hear on my local news that the person who is complaining about this whole College/Church mess is a Vermont Trump Suporter. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/bernie-and-jane-sanders-under-fbi-investigation-for-bank-fraud-hire-lawyers/

Bernie is a spineless career politician though. Put politics aside and look at the big picture.

You know what, I don't agree with Trump either. I did not vote for him but he is the President. It is just disgusting that people are charging someone with such a heinous crime because of Jew hatred or politics. I cannot find anything that links Bernie to child sex abuse. I am really disappointed in the people on here. I have tried to be respectful of people since there are a lot of Trump supporters on here, but let me tell you, it has not been returned. The College/Church accusations are being pushed by a Trump Vermont atty. I have never commented about Trump and the rape charges, because, darn it, I just don't think there is enough proof out there. So, I am sorry child rape is the most hated crime in this country, as it should be, but people are ready to tar an feather Bernie because of a real estate investigation that happened to have abusive priests at the church. HELLO! What church has not had abusive priests?

Stop making corrupt socialist Bernie a victim of "anti-jewish" or "anti-semitic" "hatred"
This has nothing to do with him being a jew, but everything with him and his wife being CORRUPT, FAKE SOCIALISTS.
You are obviously a zionist SHILL, always defending zionists and playing the victm card.

Shut up. I never get into those fights. Your problem is with him being a Democratic Socialist, and yes many on that post did make hateful Jewish remarks. It seems to me, that many on that post were doing exactly that. Ready to brand someone a pedo just because they do not agree with his politics. That is Un American as I see it. You do not convict someone with flimsy evidence. It smacks of vigilantism. The Let's Hang Him Mentality.

Good for you Carmencita! These ppl can not see the forest for the trees and are doing a MAJOR dis-service to this investigations. A bunch of morons!! Bernie and Jane have given their lives as public servants and barely have two pots to piss in in the way of money-to accuse them in this way is absurd and unforgivable. Sure, this is a place for research, but NOT EVERYONE IS A PEDOPHILE!!!

After what I saw when I went to the Convention in Philly I will be forever changed. The delegates for Bernie told me how horribly they were treated. Also, Bernie and Jane were able to buy the second house only because Jane's parents passed away. When they sold the home they inherited, they were able to buy a nice family beach home. No this was not one of those Hampton Home. Just something nice after working over 30 in DC.
