(5,272 posts)So Sanders funneled millions of dollars to some random people ? Usually the funneling is supposed to work the other way around, unless you owe some powerful people for your gambling debts and your cocaine habit. Where is the quid pro quo? Where is evidence that Sanders and his family have anything that looks like it might have been in trade for that kind of money?
And here's the thing that is particularly fishy...has anybody actually asked Sanders directly? That's usually what people do when there's an actual scandal, or a story, particularly when a person has the kind of profile that Sanders has,(not to mention when there is access) and when that person is a socialist. American media actually hates socialists. That kind of goes with the paycheck. Sure, they use them when they can bloody the less corporate establishment party...then suddenly they love them....but they have absolutely no investment in not breaking a huge story that makes a socialist look like a criminal and a hypocrite. Yet nobody is touching this? Nobody is badgering him to answer these questions?
Hell, he could be dirty as shit. I don't know him personally, but for now, I'm calling bullshit.
