Whatever Happened to Burlington Baby Jane? The Vetting of Jane Sanders!

?1463452487

In the vetting of Bernie and Jane Sanders there is so much more we need to know about their Finances and Tax Returns but one of our main concerns should be that Jane Sanders is Bernie’s Primary Advisor on his campaign. She was given an unexplained $200,000 Golden Parachute when she left Burlington College and She does the Sander’s Tax Returns which they do not seem to be able to locate. This issue was covered today by @JakeTapper who Hosts The Lead on CNN How transparent is Bernie Sanders on his tax returns?

cause Trump knows Hillary and Bill personally. And he is going to bring down a shitstorm of allegations on Bill the likes of which we have never seen before. We know the man has zero constraints - Trump, not Bill, although that will be applied to him, too.

Let me know when the Sanders' launder millions through a "Foundation" or run the State Department, secrets and all, from a server in their house. Or when Bernie serially commits adultery. (or even once, really). Let's ask the poor folks in Haiti how they feel about this stuff. Gee, Jane got a $200,000 parachute and didn't even give out any reeking arms deals.

Fail.

years and tens of millions to distort what happened and make First Lady Jane Sanders appear to be unethical, untrustworthy, and money hungry. That is what the GOP does with its power and their manipulation of the corporate media.

They have done it to every Dem first lady since they started their own RW propaganda machine.

Let your imagination run wild with the 2015. Perhaps there will be a line saying: Plus several million from the Banksters. Or, Bernie and Jane's offshore account.

She resigned in 2011 but had a contract through 2013.

This wasn't a 'Golden Parachute', but the balance of the salary she would have been paid per the contract.

25. Hillary Clinton releases health, financial records
Tue May 17, 2016, 02:11 PM
May 2016

In addition to this medical summary, the campaign also posted to its website the last eight years of Clinton’s personal tax returns, covering 2007–2014. This supplements the public release of the family’s tax returns from 2000–2006 during her 2008 campaign, returns from 1992–1999 disclosed annually during her husband’s time in the White House, and prior returns released by her husband’s presidential campaign. All told, the Clintons have made their tax returns public for every year dating back to 1977.

https://www.hillaryclinton.com/tax-returns/

Go ahead & look for yourself regarding Hillary. Now, when will Bernie do the same?

Hillary represents war and fracking and the Third Way and cluster bombs and corruption and regime change and the TPP. Hillary is in favor of means-testing Social Security, and says no to Single Payer. Increased deregulation of Wall Street.

Bernie does not represent those things. A tax return is not going to change how anyone feels about those issues. Issues which affect our lives.

It's the issues, not the tax returns.

$200,000 doesn't even get Hillary or Bill in the door for a speech. Heck, the Clintons don't even give corrupt beneficial treatment to foreign nations for less than $20 million!

If you seriously consider $200,000 a golden parachute, welcome to the 21st century time traveler from 150 years in the past! I am certain you will like this century.
