The FBI investigation of Bernie Sanders is a test for the Clinton-hating media [View all]

Politico (June 22, 2017):

The FBI, it seems, is looking into exactly what Jane Sanders did or didn’t do—and whether her husband Bernie, hero of the progressive left, tried to ease along one of the loans. http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/06/22/bernie-sanders-jane-sanders-lawyer-bank-fraud-investigation-burlington-college-215297


As you may know, Hillary Clinton FBI investigation was covered at nauseum and by the media during the campaign.

It remains to be seen whether Andrea Mitchell, the New York Times, etc., will devote even as much as half their energy to covering the FBI investigation into Bernie Sanders.]

Some might argue that Bernie Sanders is not a presidential candidate, therefore he does not deserve the attention that Hillary Clinton deserves. But be aware that I said "half their energy", which would still amount to a gazillion news articles and talk show minutes per day.

Besides, the endorsement from Bernie Sanders of candidates running for Congress is of utmost importance in future elections. if Bernie Sanders is found to have encouraged fraud, candidates will actually distance themselves from Bernie.

Also, is Bernie Sanders running again in 2020? It may all depend on the outcome of this investigation.
