Guy Benson – Back in June, we highlighted an awkward television exchange in which Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders really, really didn’t want to answer questions from CNN anchor Erin Burnett about a federal bank fraud investigation targeting his wife — and in which he himself was also implicated. It wasn’t the first time the Socialist lawmaker got testy on the subject, which he’s cynically tried to dismiss as a “pathetic attack” that was “launched by” a Trump supporter against his wife. As explained at the time, this FBI probe into financial misconduct was actually kicked off by the Justice Department during the Obama era, and Jane Sanders — a grown adult and active political figure in Bernie’s orbit — isn’t above criticism for alleged criminal acts.
And once again, part of the investigation is reportedly examining whether the Senator abused his power and influence to help secure the fraudulent bank loan for the now-defunct college that his wife ran into the ground. In other words, there could be serious trouble afoot for both halves of this left-wing couple, who saw fit to honeymoon in the Soviet Union.
