Mrs. Bernie Sanders, Jane, has been under investigation for her role as the president of Burlington College in Vermont for fraud.

The investigation has been ongoing and refers to fraudulent information that Jane Sanders gave to a bank on order to secure a loan so the college could expand. Because of Jane Sanders’ lies to the bank, the college defaulted on its loan and had to close.

Questions have also arisen regarding Bernie Sanders’ role in the loan as well, in that his office put pressure on the bank to provide the loan. The investigation is now getting more serious, The Daily Caller is reporting:

The FBI investigation into allegations Jane Sanders, wife of Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, defrauded a bank while president of a local college is reportedly intensifying. A state official received a subpoena for a grand jury, and the FBI interviewed a half dozen people with links to Burlington College in recent weeks. The subpoena requires the individual provide to a grand jury documentation related to the ongoing investigation of Sanders for alleged bank fraud, James Foley Jr., a lawyer representing the unidentified state official, confirmed to The Washington Post Monday. Former trustees for the now defunct college also confirmed to The Washington Post lawyers representing Jane Sanders interviewed the former school officials to learn what they might reveal to investigators. Prosecutors have reportedly taken dozens of boxes of school documents related to Sanders’ time at the college in the past month. Sanders served as president of Burlington College from 2004 until 2011 and is blamed for leading the school into bankruptcy by falsifying a loan application. Sanders retained counsel in June to defend herself against the allegations.

Of course, Sanders is trying to claim this is some vast right-wing conspiracy but all fingers point to his wife’s fraud and his role in it:

Vermont House Minority Leader Don Turner recently confirmed to Vermont Digger he is the source behind claims the senator’s office got involved. During a conversation with local bankers who did not work directly on the loan, Turner said one of the bankers brought up the subject that Sen. Sanders office contacted People’s United Bank. “The substance was the bank was reluctant to do the loan, and (the former employee) had heard that the Senator’s office had encouraged the bank to do the loan, and that’s what the conversation was about,” Turner told VT Digger.

It looks like both of the Sanders have some explaining to do. Not only does it appear that Mrs. Bernie Sanders fraudulently secured a loan from a reluctant bank, but that bank was pushed into doing it by none other than Mr. Bernie Sanders.

And as a result, the college is closed. So much for caring about college students.
