Jane Sanders Goes On Fox and Asks FBI to Speed Up Hillary Email Investigation

http://bluenationreview.com/jane-sanders-goes-on-fox-and-asks-fbi-to-speed-up-hillary-email-investigation/

At BNR, we have avoided writing about Jane Sanders despite her ubiquitous presence on cable news as Bernie’s chief surrogate. But today, despite nearly impossible odds for Bernie’s campaign, she has crossed into harshly negative territory against Hillary. We have no choice but to reject these attacks.

Earlier today, Jane Sanders claimed that Bernie’s poor showing among minority voters was because Hillary was the “anointed one.”

Now, we learn that in an appearance on Fox News, she asked the FBI to speed up their investigation of Hillary’s emails, saying “it would be nice if the FBI moved it along.”

This confirms a suspicion I’ve held for months: that one of the reasons Bernie Sanders is keeping his campaign alive is the futile hope that Hillary’s emails will somehow derail her campaign.

But remember what Hillary told Republicans:

Well, Matt, I know they live in that world of fantasy and hope because they’ve got a mess on their hands on the Republican side. That is not going to happen. There is not even the remotest chance that it’s going to happen. Look, they’ve been after me, as I say, for 25 years. They have said things about me repeatedly that have been proven to be not only false but kind of ridiculous. … The Republican’s fondest wishes will not be fulfilled.


Apparently Jane Sanders shares the GOP’s wishes. They won’t be fulfilled either.

Nicaraqua/Sandinista/Cuba/Castro/Socialism ties — you know, real "means of production should belong to the people" stuff — but out of respect she didn't. But that Sanders camp has went all in with the "crook, liar, corrupt, corporate whore slams. Constantly for months.

But the socialism stuff is in his history. It's no secret, easily reseachable, and the repugs have done their opposition research on him and have been holding their fire if he were to somehow get the nomination.

It won't be needed now though

I hope the extension is denied as it should be. These two have made some pretty hefty demands of the party they have crashed into in order to have any viability and now they want a lot more while refusing to uphold their end of the agreement to be let into the party to run.

And don't get me started about the Pope thing and all the rest.

When I see her coming on a news program I'm watching, I turn it off in protest.

that wish for a win on an indictment. GDP is full of threads on this desire. One that even has been conducting their own research on the email crap. What is wrong with these people?

Hillary is no saint. None of us are but I'm certain she has not done the tiniest amount of things she's been accused of.

So now JS is spewing the same thing, hurry up and indict.......we're in it to win......don't count us out.....to know us is to love us.............and Hillary has worked her a$$ off getting every vote and no, she was not and is not the anointed one. Frankly I don't know why she chose to expose herself to all of these lies again except she looked at her grandchild and felt she had to run.

Unbelievable.

Jeff and Tad are telling them "She's going to be indicted any day now - social media says so! All you gotta do is hang in there until the indictment, and them the Democrats will just hand it to you - you'll be coronated - just like we promised you!"

Right now, I'm so pissed I need to throw something at the wall! Where's some pillows?

the transcript thing was motivated by jealousy. This kind of petty, mean spiritedness simply solidifies that suspicion for me. Think about it. They're JEALOUS that she can make more in one speech, than what HE can make in a year on his salary.

Apr 2016

After Jane Sanders talked about how unfair many attacks have been on Hillary Clinton, Sanders agreed that the dragging out of the FBI investigation, into Hillary Clinton's email, may also be unfair.

The Republicans built their entire 2012 convention around "You Built That", by editing and taking out of context Obama statements. David Brock's outfit is doing the same, using truncated, out of context statements (you can see that the first truncated video put up by conservatives on youtube didn't truncate the word unfair, so they put up a new one), to claim that Jane Sanders was doing the opposite of what she was doing. Last I saw, Politico is promoting this smear, too.

For shame.

platform, so be it. She's nothing but a DINO willing to burn down the house because she's not being given her way.

Bernie Sanders, Jane, and his campaign are slowly, but surely pissing away any goodwill that they've ever had with the Clinton campaign and the democrats. Bernie will be lucky if he has a pot to piss in when he returns to the Senate.

I won't say unbelievable, because I've seen Jane often enough on the MSM circuit to know just how low she can go.

With each succeeding interview, as the Sanders campaign falls further and further behind, her vicious attacks hit new lows.

After these agents gets through with the email non scandal they can start on her defrauding the bank on made up lies to get a loan to pay for the Burlington property purchase.
