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.
unsurprisingly there were a lot of suck zone posts by elated suck zone escapees in the trump thread about this even though it's literally BUT HER EMAILS and most bernie supporters also thought that controversy was dumb as poo poo so :shrug:

lol, that reddit post hit all the lanyard talking points:

1. the ACA can be "saved." (no, it really can't, unless it's amended to include coverage for those in the medicaid gap, those affected by the "family glitch"; hundreds of billions of dollars more for insurers; lowering of out-of-pocket costs; and cost controls on provider rates and prescription drugs--these are the things that will never, ever happen).

2. that single-payer would hurt women and PoC (woo boy, get ready for that hyde amendment talk and "progressive" opposition to single-payer if it doesn't fully include abortions)

3. that ACA is saving "real lives" while single-payer will destroy lives. (wot?) and that real political work is trying to save a program that never really worked, outside of medicaid expansion (in the states that chose to expand it).

4. a slashie-like kicker that exhorts one to look in the mirror, examine thyself and STFU.

We were somewhere around Manila when the drugs began to take hold
just got back from the DSA east bay election, which was good though i had to bail at the lunch break. they had the spokesperson for the CA nurses association speak on the single payer bill who pointed out how loving stupid the assembly's excuse for shelving the bill is. apparently all the parts that anthony rendon said were missing are in fact existent and ready to be added once SB562 was given to the health committee. they killed the bill just so they wouldn't have to vote on it

They don't actually think it, it's just extremely important for the type of person who typically spews this poo poo to paint their more progressive peers as nasty people who don't care about women and minorities because at the end of the day their personal goal is "end racism/sexism/etc." and then magically benefit from the current economic status quo.

sexist bc: it might not fund every abortion, even though the hyde amendment has been law for decades and the majority of abortions are self-pay followed by medicaid, a single-payer program.

racist bc: millions of PoC might lose medicaid under the ACA while bernard bros fight for a medicaid-for-all program, bc these things are zero-sum and unless you fight for status-quo failure like the ACA you're aiding & abetting the GOP or you're a russian agent.
