Sen. Sanders’ Wife Tried Evicting Disabled Group Home Residents after Closing Shady College Deal Under FBI Probe
Amid a deepening federal investigation of Jane Sanders, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders’ wife, Judicial Watch has obtained records that paint a rather disturbing personal portrait of a heartless spouse—and longtime political advisor—of the Democratic Socialist candidate for president of the United States. During the Obama administration, the FBI began investigating Jane for falsifying documents to obtain a $10 million loan to expand a now-defunct liberal arts college in a town where her husband once served as mayor while she was the school’s president.
The school, Burlington College, was in a small city with the same name in northwestern Vermont. It’s a quaint town of about 42,000 that sits on the eastern shoreline of Lake Champlain and prides itself on having “diverse, forward-thinking citizens” that are “steeped in arts and culture.” Jane was president of the troubled college from 2004 to 2011 and in 2010, she had an ambitious plan to expand the campus by 33 acres, despite low enrollment and financial difficulties. The then-president of Burlington College drastically overstated donation amounts in loan applications, according to the Vermont news website that broke the story, to obtain a $10 million loan. Jane indicated there was $2.6 million in pledged donations but the school only got $676,000 in four years.
The loan went through, some allege after her husband’s senatorial office pressured the bank to approve it, and Jane masterminded a deal to purchase an undeveloped, 32-acre parcel of land and a 77,000-square-foot facility from the Roman Catholic Diocese of Burlington. The purchase included a facility that served as a group home for disabled people and, under the terms of the deal, Jane was supposed to negotiate the transfer of the disabled residents before the school took over the property. Instead Jane tried to kick the disabled people out of their group home, records obtained by Judicial Watch show. The records, part of an ongoing Judicial Watch investigation into the Jane Sanders fraud case, include electronic mail exchanges between Jane when she was president of Burlington College and two former mayors of the city of Burlington.
In a lengthy letter to the attorney (Todd Centybear) representing the group home for the disabled Jane indicates that she’s having trouble evicting the 16 residents from their building on the newly purchased property after the college had acquired the land. She writes: “It is simply not fair to expect the College to continue to carry the burden of the expenses associated with housing both your population and ours until February 2012.” The home for the disabled was being leased from the diocese and Jane was supposed to help relocate the residents, not evict them. The exchange shows, not only Jane’s heartlessness, but also her incompetence as the college president for not ensuring the negotiated transfer of those disabled people before the school took over the property.
Socialism hab been berry berry good to me….
More news damaging to a prominent Democrat that you will not see reported by the mainstream media.
obama is an anti-colonial ideologue.
killery and billery are organized crime thugs.
the sanders are two-bit, grifting phonies.
Alway remember the Socialist/Liberal/DemocRAT motto:
We’re just here to “protect” the little guy:
Wherever there’s wrong-doing, we’ll be there.
Wherever there’s injustice, we’ll be there.
Wherever there’s corruption, we’ll be there.
And wherever there’s a bunch of big guys beating up
on a little guy, we’ll be there too…
helping to hold the little guy down!
How many deodorant choices and assisted living facilities do those disabled people need?
Is the term, “vile liberal,” redundant?
Sounds like a true socialist to me.
Looks like she ran out of other people’s money.
Been waiting (since bho first decided to run for POTUS) for the ONE TRUE name to be applied to the democrat party and its people–Communist Party, communist people. We have to call them what they are, and they want to take over and control this country.
Never believe what somebody says they are, wait until they show you what they are.
She should have sold them to Goodwill Industries to work as underpaid laborers!
@Goodwill sucks!
Now, now… If there’s one thing that communists and capitalists agree on, it’s that “Paid is overpaid.”
She just wanted them to hurry up and die with dignity.
You have to wonder whether the wife dresses old Bernie up in nylons and a garter belt and er, disciplines him each night to keep him on message. She sound like a right bitch to me.
Obamacare death panels- they qualify!
People in group homes are always the first to lose with liberals. They have no representation and no power. So sad and consistent.
KEEP UP THE PREASURE FUR
American voters need to see the effects Brooklyn NY is having upon Vermont along with the likes of Leaky Leahy …
Great!
DEATH to the ADA!
Now: break BOTH her legs….
Not exactly FLOTUS material, is she?!?
That’s an Audi R-8 north of $ 200.000.00 that those “Grifters” are driving. Must of found some campaign cash leftover in the denture container.
Today, I saw a $200 K Acura NSX in a mall parking lot. Beautiful car, but it had an Obama bloody zero on the windshield 🙈
