They would like to live? RobertEarl Dec 2014 #3

Bernie has. I find it interesting the President hasn't used his influence or position to Autumn Dec 2014 #4

I see nothing in that statement that advocates for prosecution. Drunken Irishman Dec 2014 #6

But as you now know, Bernie has spoken about it. Autumn Dec 2014 #20

If he's open spoken about it there should be a lot of quotes. Drunken Irishman Dec 2014 #26

It is interesting, isn't it? More will be the reactions here... LawDeeDah Dec 2014 #5

Bernie has addressed it and I'm sure he will have more to say Autumn Dec 2014 #9

No what I was looking for. Would he prosecute if he were President? LawDeeDah Dec 2014 #12

I think Bernie will have more to say later, but I doubt he will call them patriots. Autumn Dec 2014 #16
