questions about her over her and distract from the campaign. BTW, how does this relate to what the campaign is championing for? And was it Bernie's fault if his wife messed up in her job? I haven't even followed the story enough to know what it was all about... But it seems to me a lot of finger pointing for the mess not to land on anyone's shoulders.

I wonder, would people think more highly of her if she took speaking fees at corporations and colleges? Would that be more esteemed?

Bill Clinton Says of GOP Attacks: 'They Accused Me of Murder'

FARGO, N.D. — Former President Bill Clinton told a North Dakota crowd Friday that Republican attacks on Hillary Clinton are part of a strategy to "delegitimize" their opponents — and the tactic is not a new one.

"You think the stuff they said about her is bad? They accused me of murder," he said, referring to conspiracy theories aimed at him after the 1993 suicide of White House aide Vince Foster. "I mean, our memories are short. It's what they do."

THE BIG IDEA: Burlington College is feeling the burn.

Bernie Sanders is huge on college campuses—or yuuuuge, as he likes to say—but the small private school in Vermont that his wife, Jane, ran for seven years announced yesterday that it will shutter because of “the crushing weight” of debt incurred under her leadership.

Burlington College said its financial troubles are connected to Mrs. Sanders’s 2010 purchase of 32 acres of lakefront property, part of a botched expansion plan. The college was placed on academic probation in 2014 by its accrediting agency and it faced cash flow problems due to the imminent loss of a line of credit, The Post’s Nick Anderson reports. To survive, the school has tried to sell land but it was not enough to remain solvent.

Jane Sanders was president from 2004 until 2011, when she stepped down amid an apparent dispute with the college’s board. She left with a $200,000 severance package.
