Smoke in Burlington College TeePee: Jane Sanders lawyers up. |
2017-06-23 |
BLUF: [Politico] On January 10, 2016, in the midst of Sanders’ sudden stardom--just weeks before the votes in Iowa and New Hampshire--the U.S. attorney for Vermont was sent a "Request for an Investigation into Apparent Federal Bank Fraud." Backed by six exhibits and a dozen documents, the four-page letter described how Jane Sanders had "orchestrated" the purchase of 33 acres along Lake Champlain in Burlington, Vermont’s largest city, where her husband had minted his populist political brand as mayor. The deal closed in 2010, when the senator’s wife was president of Burlington College, a tiny, obscure, nontraditional school that always seemed to be struggling for students and funds. The letter alleged that to secure a $10 million loan and execute her grand plan to expand the college, Jane Sanders had falsified and inflated nearly $2 million that she’d claimed donors had pledged to repay the loans. |

#5 The VTDigger article is worth a read if you really want to get down to the small town acrimony in play in this story. |

#2 I remember 'Joe & Victoria' from back in the heady days of Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky. I believe they worked with Ken Starr during part of that whole kerfuffle. |

#1 The request for investigation was proffered by the firm diGenova & Toensing. attorneys at law. Washington, DC. After a quick read of the request, I can see why Sanders lawyered up. Thank you Joe and Victoria. |
