Jane Sanders feeling the FBI Bern

Jane Sanders, the adorable wife of Sen. Bernie Sander (Communist--VT.), was questioned [again] by the FBI about a week ago regarding possible bank fraud perpetrated by her when she was president of Burlington College, a key witness told Fox News.

This apparently indicates the investigation into the $10 million real estate deal remains open and Jane may go to the joint.

Burlington College, which has since become defunct, was led by Sanders (aka "Calamity Jane Sanders") when the school decided to expand and get its left hand on a tract of land owned by the local Catholic Church parish. Sanders secured a $6.7 million loan from a bank and a $3.6 million loan from the parish from which she hoped to purchase the property.

She was accused of inflating the amount of money donors have pledged to the school and provided false information to a bank to get the loan. So in 2011 she resigned while her husband promised the nation free college education. Many of those listed as college donors have since come forward denying they had pledged any money.

Former head of operations at Burlington College, Coralee Holm, previously told Fox News the probe has "no specific deadline." She was initially questioned by the FBI last summer and was last visited by FBI agents two weeks ago and answered "some clarifying questions." 

A federal grand jury was empaneled last October and heard evidence from another former college official.

Robin Lloyd, a former board member of the college, confirmed that a grand jury was looking into Sanders' possible bank fraud involvement.

"They're trying to pull together where did the money come from to enable Burlington College to convince [People's United Bank] and the diocese to go ahead with the deal," Lloyd told the Burlington Free Press. 

A Sanders family spokesperson said they had "absolutely no reason to believe that there is a grand jury empaneled to examine" Sanders or any "aspect of Dr. Sanders' service." The spokesperson gets paid to say such things and blamed the media for "recycling an account of a government interview of a witness from several months ago."

Bernie Sanders responded to media questions saying: "Oy yam livid with the way yoo people in tha newz attack my paw wife. If you want to know whoze guilty, look at Wawl Schtreet. Look at Trump. Look at the one percent."

He and Jane then got into their limo and drove off to one of their three homes.
