Jane Sanders Sinks Burlington College

[KittyWampus]

Jane Sanders misrepresented the financial backing the college had when going for the loan.

A group of Catholic parishioners want the U.S. Attorney for Vermont to investigate Jane Sanders, the wife of Bernie Sanders, for alleged bank fraud stemming from a land deal she secured as President of Burlington College.

"It appears that Ms. Sanders misrepresented confirmed donations in order to get that loan," said Brady Toensing, an attorney and Vice Chair of the Vermont Republican Party.

Real estate deal brokered by Bernie Sanders' wife sinks Vermont college

Sen. Bernie Sanders’ wife made a big-ticket purchase during her tenure as head of a small, private college in Vermont — and, in the end, the institution got burned.

Burlington College, which Jane Sanders ran from 2004 to 2011, will close its doors on May 27 due to financial and accrediting problems, it was announced Monday. The college has about 70 students.

Jane Sanders’ tenure as president of the tiny school in Burlington, Vt., saw it make a bold real estate purchase to replace its cramped quarters: Sanders spearheaded a deal to buy 33 acres along Lake Champlain, in hopes that the scenic property would help the college attract new students and donors. To pay for the prime lakefront land, the college used $10 million in bonds and loans, according to reports by the Burlington Free Press.

1. At least nobody died...

Adding Up the Costs of Hillary Clinton’s Wars

...Clinton, along with Samantha Power, the U.S. ambassador to the UN, and Susan Rice, the Obama administration’s national security advisor, has pushed for muscular interventions without thinking — or caring — about the consequences.

And those consequences have been dire.

Afghanistan: Somewhere around 220,000 Afghans have died since the 2001 U.S. invasion, and millions of others are refugees. The U.S. and its allies have suffered close to 2,500 dead and more than 20,000 wounded, and the war is far from over. The cost to the treasury alone runs close to $700 billion, not counting long-term medical bill that could run as high as $2 trillion.

Libya: Some 30,000 people died and another 50,000 were wounded in the intervention and civil war. Hundreds of thousands have been turned into refugees. The cost to Washington was cheap at a cool $1.1 billion, but the war and subsequent instability created a tsunami of weapons and refugees — and the fighting continues. It also produced one of Clinton’s more tasteless remarks. Referring to Gaddafi, she said, “We came, we saw, he died.” The Libyan leader was executed by having a bayonet rammed up his rectum.

Ukraine: The death toll now exceeds 8,000, some 18,000 have been wounded, and several cities in the eastern part of the country have been heavily damaged. The fighting has tapered off, although tensions remain high.

Yemen: Over 6,000 Yemenis have been killed and another 27,000 wounded. According to the UN, most of them are civilians. Ten million Yeminis don’t have enough to eat, and 13 million have no access to clean water. Yemen is highly dependent on imported food, but a U.S.-Saudi blockade has choked off most imports. The war is ongoing.

Iraq: Anywhere from 400,000 to over 1 million people have died from war-related causes since the 2003 invasion. Over 2 million have fled the country and another 2 million are internally displaced. The cost: close to $1 trillion, but it may rise to $4 trillion once all the long-term medical costs are added in. The war grinds on its latest incarnation: a bloody turf war with the Islamic State, which emerged from the Sunni insurgency against the U.S.-installed government.

Syria: Over 250,000 have died in the war, and half the country’s population has been displaced — including four million Syrian refugees abroad. The country’s major cities have been ravaged. The war, like the others, is ongoing.

There are other countries — like Somalia — that one could add to the butcher bill. Then there are the countries that reaped the fallout from the collapse of Libya. Weapons looted after the fall of Gaddafi largely fuel the wars in Mali, Niger, and the Central African Republic.

2. Veterans died during the scandal while Sanders was head of the Veterans Affairs Committee

He claimed the scandal was a bogus Koch Bros fiction.

[Human101948]

3. Don't know about that but I am sure that it can't match Hillary's tally...

from her "muscular stance" on military intervention.

You are so freaking desperate.

[KittyWampus]

11. The OP and thread is about Jane Sanders sinking Burlington College.

[Human101948]

12. The OP is attacking Jane Sanders as a way to discredit Bernie Sanders...

I replied in kind. And the disparity in consequence is overwhelming.

[roguevalley]

13. if death matters here, I think HRC wins.

[Demsrule86]

19. She was secretary of State

and implemented Obama's plans...Jane did this all by herself...shame that a college as old as that one will close due to financial mismanagement.

[tabasco]

30. Hahahahaha! Obama goes UNDER THE BUS.

Yes, the Secretary of State is merely the "gopher"or the "errand girl" for the President, who operates in a vacuum and prepares all foreign affairs plans personally, by himself. LMAO.

In reality, the Sec. of State is the principal foreign affairs advisor to the President and prepares plans for the President's approval.

[tabasco]

31. It really was a bogus scandal, blown out of all proportion by republicans,

just like Bubba's blow job.

[Sheepshank]

4. cant respond to the OP so instead try the dip, dodge, diversion technique.

So fucking transparent. So over used.

Jane secures $10M for 70 students? wow.

[Human101948]

6. Putting things into perspective is important...

While Jane may have made some bad decisions, Hillary's bad decisions were stupendous, monumental, and horrendous.

[Sheepshank]

9. Regurgitate shit adds nothing to a conversation. This is the stuff of a losing campaign. nt

[Human101948]

15. Your eloquence is stunning!

I am stupefied by your amazing intelligence.

[Sheepshank]

16. good..about fucking time

[Vinca]

5. Well, if we're going to discuss spouses . . .

Epstein, Bill, "Lolita Express," "Orgy Island?" It's a whole lot more interesting that Burlington college.

[Human101948]

10. Hillary's pal David Brock had something to say about that...

Clinton, meanwhile, was by turns angry and very worried. From the back of his Lincoln he would say, "What does that whore think she's doing to me?" He also referred to Flowers a "f---ing slut," according to Patterson. On the Flowers tapes, after telling Flowers "if they ever hit you with it just say 'no' and go on," Clinton had said he would be free and clear on the womanizing issue so long as "they don't have pictures." In a conversation in the kitchen of the governor's mansion after Flowers went public, Clinton asked one of the troopers for advice on how to handle the situation. Clinton said that without photos, nothing could be proved. "I told him, 'Then lie your ass off,'" the trooper said, and Clinton apparently did.

17. Since everyone is armed with a camera these days, he might be more worried than we know.

[KittyWampus]

14. Sanders' perverted rape fantasy writing would be wonderful in the GE, wouldn't they?

Then there was Sanders' "cancer is from your sexual repression" essay.

Seems Sanders, in his attempt to sound intellectual could be pretty raunchy.

[Ned_Devine]

27. Almost as good as Bill going to an island with a billionaire pedophile and underage girls

[Demsrule86]

20. Not really

This is huuuuge.

[.99center]

7. "Brady Toensing, an attorney and Vice Chair of the Vermont Republican Party. "

"Toensing is representing a group of Catholic parishioners." The source for your story is Republican currently serving in office! This is clearly a Right Wing Smear.

[cherokeeprogressive]

8. This is like what... the fifth post about this?

[CanadaexPat]

18. Maybe she could make it a for-profit college

and ask Bill Clinton to join the board.

[KingFlorez]

21. That's terrible

But I'm sure she doesn't really care since she got a big severance check.

[Warren DeMontague]

22. She wins!

[hellofromreddit]

23. Do you really want to be the type to attack the families of your opponents?

Gazing into the abyss and all that.

[trudyco]

24. The article said it had more to do with accreditation problems

They also had five years to figure it out and they say most of the financial problems stemmed from an accreditation problem.

[floriduck]

25. I hear David Brock but I can't see him.

[pnwmom]

26. And they have billed her as one of Bernie's top advisors.

As I read the profiles, I thought to myself that I now know a lot about Melania but little about Jane, a former community organizer, college president and top adviser to her husband.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_O%27Meara_Sanders

Adviser and aide to Bernie Sanders[edit]

In 2015, Bernie Sanders described his wife as "one of his key advisers",[2] and he employed her at various times as "an administrative assistant, spokeswoman, policy adviser, chief of staff, and media buyer".[2] In a 1996 article in The Washington Post, she was credited with helping him draft "more than 50 pieces of legislation".[8]

28. That's very interesting ... I did not know that.

[Maru Kitteh]

I'd be surprised if she wasn't.
