Note in particular the last paragraph: "According to news reports this matter is already a matter under federal investigation." This matter being a senator influencing a loan to benefit a family member.

If so, why aren't we hearing more about it???

1. Good question...could be a clear case of abuse of power

Another reason why Jane is hiding...

[AgingAmerican]

2. No, but LAS14 is posting Republican talking points

In a desperate attempt at smearing Sanders.

11. Well, actually, I just saw the post and wondered.

I'm quite willing to accept the notion that this law office is a right-wing player. I look forward to more responses, and if I'm convinced that's what's going on, I'll say so.

It's too bad that one can't ask for information in DU without being slammed by people with pre-conceived hatred.

21. That's a FOX News tactic. It has been reported, People are asking, it was posting online, etc.

3. If he is, that's serious!

But Hillary, who actually IS under investigation, has been exonerated of all wrong doing (even for poor judgment) all her DU fans. You guys are so transparent!

[Warren Stupidity]

4. I don't know. But would you agree that a candidate who is under federal investigation should

withdraw?

[Vinca]

5. Jeez . . . we might have no candidates then!

What's good for the goose . . .

[Chasstev365]

7. BOTH of them should if under investigation!

8. No. Even if there was an SAR filed, there's still the presumption of innocence. nt

6. If he is he should drop out. nt

[LAS14]

13. Huh. I'm a Hillary supporter, and you're...

... a Bernie supporter, and you're equating "investigation" with "conviction"???? I'm more inclined to wait and see what's up.

[Autumn]

14. I am aware of the difference between "investigation" and "conviction" and I was clear in what I said

Any candidate being investigated by the FBI has no business campaigning for President.

9. Wow!

10. Desperation as the Coronation Express loses another wheel ....

... and heads off the cliff.

[LAS14]

12. It was a question. Do you have an answer?

[99Forever]

15. No it wasn't a question.

It was a desperate attempt to smear the good Senator by insinuation, by you.

You do earn one free Bucket O'Fail tho. Congrats.

[LAS14]

16. You folks who claim to know a poster's...

... motivations, in spite of what they say depress me. What is the world coming to that we can't assume the best about one another until proven otherwise?

[99Forever]

20. Obvious is obvious.

That is the best I assume in you. You continue to prove it over and over.

If you think you are fooling anyone then you're a fool.

17. This sounds far worse than not knowing the specifics of complicated email rules.

I'm going to make sure this gets out in my circles...off to Facebook!

18. I noted that People's United Bank is Bernie's Bankster

They made the bad loan to his wife and Bernie has doled out over $700,000 to them in campaign funds.

19. What could it be?
