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.

That's the problem. Peeps don't know how to go to 35,000 feet and look at a scenario in its totality. They dwell on stupid misdetails.

He's been there long enough that an accidental presidency would simply have been the cherry on top. He wouldn't be a lifer if he had principles, or at least he would've been a hell of a lot louder.
