Sanders Bank Fraud

[GGover]

Assuming Bernie Sanders actually runs in 2020, how much do you think the Jane Sanders bank fraud investigation will hurt him?

I think this article gives a good overview of the situation

I don't know, but I look forward to the same people who said Hillary Clinton should be judged by the actions of her husband to completely contort themselves into the opposite position if the attack gets levied.

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Doubt it unless he somehow makes it to the GE

[Lord Admirale]

Probably enough to do some damage, however I'm not sure if people will care 3 years from now.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

It's possible.

Takes another handful of popcorn...stay tuned!

Her husband was the president of the United States of America and she had all the authority and influence of a cabinet secretary. Not the same thing as whatever Jane Sanders has or hasn't done.

The investigation will probably conclude by the time candidates start announcing in 2019, and if they find something obviously it will be damaging. Otherwise, I doubt it.

Sure it is.

And it begins!

[Technocracy Timmy]

Does Sanders seriously plan on running for President at 77/78 given that there's gonna be a decent number of progressive options to choose from in 2020? It seems like too much of an assumption.

Only if Bernie knowingly helped cover it up and implicitly threatened the people Jane raped defrauded of money.

Oh no, poor Bernie!

His base will act like its a good thing and most of the damage will happen in the general.

[Possiblymaybe]

It might hurt him a little but as long as he isnt directly implicated i dont think it will be a big deal.

[At-Large Senator LouisvilleThunder]

Nobody cares. Bernie ripping off banks goes in line with his Socialist ideology and lol at lying to the IRS...who hasn't lied on their income taxes? Sad! attempt by GOP to stop the inevitable red revolution.

Tsar Donald is using his secret police (the FBI) to silence his opponents. Be careful; you might be next!

[DrScholl]

In a more crowded field, an 80 year old failed candidate is not going to do well in the primary anyway, but the impropriety certainly doesn't help matters.

Nobody gives a damn about impropriety anymore.
