the guy pushing the suit is probably trying his hand at a trump administration job and the republican party actually does find bernie as a thorn in their side simply because he's more successful than dems at pushing policy and narrative among the electorate

the allegations from what I've gathered are that jane sanders fraudulently lied on loan applications to the banks about the expected revenue the school would make.

the other allegation is that sanders used his position as senator to influence the bank's decision on the loan application.

AFAIK so far there has been no evidence presented for these allegations and these allegations are being driven by the chair of the Trump Vermont campaign who personally knows and has a negative relationship with Jane. no one has been indicted or charged thus far AFAIK and the article titles seem very intentionally misleading on this.

Brady Toensing of Burlington, the man responsible for the claims filed to the U.S. attorney for Vermont, was a chairman for the Trump campaign in his state.

edit: Brady Toensing may have a history as a Republican partisan smearer. I don't really know and don't care to confirm.

also apparently the president of the college was someone else that had a personal relationship with jane sanders and is not this same person. that person was brought up in this thread and may be fueling the investigation.

also the other day I was listening to NPR and they were lamenting what to do about those classified as contractors and those working the gig economy that did not receive the same protections and benefits (e.g. healthcare) as traditional employees. of course this segment was not used to present an actual solution to this problem. they were used to hawk some bullshit company that purported to manage "portable benefits packages" as a potential solution. they discussed the necessity of coming up with new solutions to these problems and thinking of things like more flexible savings accounts and bullshit like that. they talked of the problem of 30 million uninsured and the spectre of the republican ACA and how healthcare is 1/6th the economy.

not once did they bring up single payer, medicare for all, or any solution the entire rest of the world has figured out for this problem. they did not discuss how all other major countries on earth spend far less on healthcare in absolute terms and as % of GDP while covering all citizens. they only talked about bandaids and absurd contortions in the overton window of the debate between bad dems and republicans.

i think npr might honestly be worse than fox news. the enemy you dont know stabbing you in the back is worse than the enemy you know.

of course i hate NPR and already know they are scum, but a lot of purportedly leftist listeners are being misinformed on a daily basis.

There's no evidence of wrongdoing other than we know a couple donors have said their donation was not accurately represented on the college's application. There's no evidence of Bernie doing anything wrong. Misrepresented donations aren't a crime unless it was intentional, which is a high bar. But there is an active investigation and it seems clear Jane is the target, hence why she now has Scooter Libby's lawyer. I wouldn't be surprised if the Trump admin went after her to hurt Bernie, even if they can't get the evidence to win.

Only reason I ever tuned into NPR was for Diane Rehm. Still sad she retired. She brought a ton of great guests on her show to talk about extremely important issues that get next to no attention in the mainstream media.

single payer would be a huge boon for business which would no longer have to worry about contracting to offer insurance to employees

might result in higher payroll tax tho

couple pages late but the big advantage for not having single payer for a business in an enormous country (this doesn't really work as well in densely packed ones) is you can use termination as a threat to the wellbeing of someone's family
