Sanders and his wife have been trying to ignore the federal investigation since reporters for VTDigger, an online publication, confirmed the FBI’s involvement in April. The original request for an investigation into the potential bank fraud did indeed come from Brady Toensing, an attorney who chaired Trump’s Vermont campaign, and whose January 2016 letter to the U.S. attorney for Vermont put federal agents on the trail. (Toensing, in an email to Politico Magazine, notes, “The investigation was started more than a year ago under President Obama, his Attorney General Loretta Lynch, and his United States Attorney, all of whom are Democrats.”)
Now, Senator Sanders and his wife are taking the case more seriously. Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ longtime top political adviser who heads Sanders’ political organization, Our Revolution, confirms to Politico Magazine that Bernie and Jane Sanders have lawyered up. The couple has retained Rich Cassidy, a well-connected Burlington attorney and Sanders devotee, and Larry Robbins, the renowned Washington-based defense attorney who has represented I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby and disgraced former Rep. Bill Jefferson, to represent Jane Sanders in the matter.
Now, President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is handling an investigation that will proceed at the discretion of a U.S. attorney of Vermont that Trump has yet to appoint.

“Those DC lawyers’ bills get very expensive and get expensive very fast.”
well, bernie could always sell a house or two to pay the bills; after all, a good little socialist doesn’t need that many houses anyway ...
Bernie represents the far left who are trying to take over the party. They are all socialists, but Bernie’s supporters actually believe in the cause.
The FBI that I know couldn’t investigate a dog bite.
What???? All Democrats are enemies of the US.....all of them.
BOL! Sanders might have to sell that new house!
We could start a fund raiser for Jane with a bidding party.
I will start the bidding with a $3 dollar bid with one of my Bill Clinton 3 dollar bills.
I just read a bit on Sater, and you’re right. He knows too much and I can’t imagine his own undercover activity being used to go after Trump.
Ten years as an informant is a long time and if he had handed in any dirt on Trump, the Deep State would have already used it.
Their only option is to Arkancide him and then make up “evidence” he turned over to his handlers about Trump’s oh so many crimes...
This whole ‘Get Trump’ business also seems to be a fight between the Black hats and the White hats in the intelligence community.
I really wish Trump would use his ‘power’ as 45 to stop this; I suspect he hasn’t because he either is too nice or too busy. I actually worry about him so much so, that I pray for him daily.
These are very bad soul-less people who are after him; I hope he understands that.
Trunp needs to appoint US atty for Vermont and many others. Someone is holding up the appointees- read this a few weeks ago.
The President did not name any nominees for US Attorney until a couple weeks ago.
The White House web site tracks ‘Intent to Nominate’ separately from ‘Nominations Sent to the Senate’.

How many Sanders supporters didn't vote for cankles because they were butt hurt over the way the DNC treated their demigod.
There's your answer.
Bernie is not a rich man and anybody who has read anything of his early years can surmise he is actually a VERY lazy man. This gent is almost the anti-Reagan in a many ways and one of the most prominent things about Sanders is his indolence.
Has anyone ever been able to shoot themselves in the head a 2nd time after the first shot?
Haha I realize you must be making an allusion to murder.
