(57,936 posts)that is uncertain is very difficult.
That the university paid her $200,000 severance pay suggests they could not prove any wrongdoing that would have broken her contract.
And what would she personally have gained from the actions she is accused of?
Swift-boating was Kerry's problem. I really liked him, but he did not strongly respond to the charges against him. He also did not insist on a re-count in Ohio. I worked on voter protection on election day in 2008 in Ohio. I also worked on voter protection in 2004 in the Kerry campaign. Kerry should have had stronger voter protection at the pools in Ohio in 2004. Personally, I think he actually won in 2004.
Sanders is unassailable on his integrity.
Tell me what Jane Sanders had to gain if she did do what she is accused of doing? Was there any personal gain in it for her? I seriously doubt it.
It was a bureaucratic snafu at the college if anything.
