Just curious....Whatever Happened to Jane????

[Walk away]

Has anyone seen her out and about?

[KewlKat]

1. I've not seen her since her former employer announced

it was closing as they couldn't recover from that land/building purchase that she made.

[Walk away]

5. There is a lot on Twitter about lawyers from Burlington College but...

I have no idea what is fact. It just seems odd that she was his top aid and virtually running his campaign. She was appearing on interviews all over, always at his rallies and now she seems to have disappeared.

I was just wondering if anyone knew the story.

[gwheezie]

2. I think she's trying to download the turbo tax app

It's very complicated.

[shenmue]

10. Haaaaaa

[robbedvoter]

3. came out with a big freudian slip - packing for DC!

11. That is very interesting.

The tense relations between Sanders and fellow members of the Senate Democratic Caucus also raises questions as to what his interactions will be like once he returns to the Senate.
Asked during a brief interview this week at the Capitol when her husband would return to the Senate, Jane Sanders responded, “After the 8th.” But she quickly backtracked and said, “I don’t know.” California and a host of other states are holding their contests on June 7. A Sanders campaign spokesman did not immediately return a request for comment to clarify Jane Sanders’ comments.

4. I doubt we'll see much of her--at least not in venues where anyone can get anywhere near her.

She has not produced those tax returns, and several newpapers are covering that request by GOP Vermonters regarding her husband's involvement in the issuance of that loan that ended up sinking Burlington College.

This isn't just those right wing sites covering this story, either (though they are having a field day). Vermont Public Radio, Seven Days, and other "mainstream" papers are covering it as well.

The US attorney isn't denying the story, either, and the bank president refuses to confirm or deny, too.

[Blanks]

6. He had to lay some people off... I'm sure she was disappointed. eom

[pandr32]

7. Ha-ha...suddenly this popped into my head...

"Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?"

[ronnykmarshall]

12. You WIN!!

I was about to post something like that!

[pandr32]

20. Glad to save you the trouble

Great Hillary supporter minds think alike

[savalez]

8. My guess?

She bankrupted a school and lied about releasing their taxes and you can't ask her about that if she's not around

Mostly though, she probably didn't test well with the public during her press tour.

[Henhouse]

13. She also received a $200,000.00 severance package when she "resigned" from Burlington...n/t

[savalez]

15. Yikes.

[Henhouse]

16. Haven't seen much of Jane since the 17th....

Failure of Burlington College is a big problem for Bernie and Jane Sanders

By James Hohmann May 17 THE BIG IDEA: Burlington College is feeling the burn.

Bernie Sanders is huge on college campuses—or yuuuuge, as he likes to say—but the small private school in Vermont that his wife, Jane, ran for seven years announced yesterday that it will shutter because of “the crushing weight” of debt incurred under her leadership.

Burlington College said its financial troubles are connected to Mrs. Sanders’s 2010 purchase of 32 acres of lakefront property, part of a botched expansion plan. The college was placed on academic probation in 2014 by its accrediting agency and it faced cash flow problems due to the imminent loss of a line of credit, The Post’s Nick Anderson reports. To survive, the school has tried to sell land but it was not enough to remain solvent.

Jane Sanders was president from 2004 until 2011, when she stepped down amid an apparent dispute with the college’s board. She left with a $200,000 severance package.

The Sanders campaign has ignored repeated requests for comment on Burlington College’s failure. The uncharacteristic silence is telling.

[procon]

17. Sanders people complained about Hillary actually EARNING money as a guest speaker,

they must positively livid at Jane for ripping off taxpayers and taking money for doing nothing. I look forward to reading their lengthy complaints.

[Henhouse]

19. lol...nt

[George II]

9. I think she's gone into hiding. A couple of weeks ago she was on CNN and/or MSNBC...

...about a half dozen times a day. Once the pressure of the tax returns started, she hasn't done an interview.

[yallerdawg]

14. We've been discussing this in GD-P today.

Lawsuit seems to be brewing against Jane Sanders

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2076234

Big corruption in little Vermont.

[Cha]

21. HAHA!

Wouldn't that be Just Desserts!?

[Thinkingabout]

18. It ain't over yet.

[beachbum bob]

22. still no sightings of Jane, sanders tax returns or comments on jane's destruction of Burlington...

for a campaign all about the truth and transparency...sanders sure seems to come across as a liar

[SharonClark]

23. She's looking for those damn tax forms!

[wisteria]

24. Funny, I was thinking about that the other day.

Maybe she is home doing the taxes.

[kstewart33]

25. Why? Two words: $200k payoff.

Jane disappeared just after Burlington College announced it would be closing in one week.

Any interview she would do, she would be asked about BC and her tenure there given that she was the president who convinced the College to launch the disastrous expansion plan and the bank that funded it.

[Her Sister]

26. Plus when the monies dried up I read they couldn't afford flying Jane all over the place

Only BS and few staff doing the most traveling. Jane staying more in Vermont.

And like everyone stated above she had promised to release more taxes than just the 2014 year.... and .... Burlington College's Inconvenient Implosion.

All that together: Barabin Baraban NO JANE !

[Walk away]

29. Too bad they spent all of that $$$ flying everyone with the last name Sanders to Italy to....

stalk the pope!

[33taw]

27. I think they were starting to get vetted and it was hard for her. Politics takes a thick skin.

[Iamaartist]

28. More likey her college problems......

[Her Sister]

30. Interesting about Trump University and Jane Sanders Burlington College!

Just interesting! What does it say?

Tales from the Trump University legal vault

A guidebook for Trump University instructed staff to kick off the real estate seminars by playing “For the Love of Money” by the O’Jays on an iPod shuffle.
The book told employees to collect financial information from those who attended and rank them by their liquid assets to see who could afford more coursework. And staffers kept hotel ballrooms at a precise temperature — no more than 68 degrees — at the expensive real estate seminars.

These details and scores of others are embedded in thousands of pages of documents that comprise the lawsuits attacking a set of education courses GOP presidential front-runner Donald Trump has boasted about.
Now, the cases brought by jilted students in California and the New York state attorney general accusing Trump of fraud are the source of jabs from his campaign trail competition. Plaintiffs on both coasts allege Trump ran a business that pressured students into buying his expensive real estate courses, which cost up to $35,000, but he didn’t supply the training in how to make money on real estate the founder promised. Trump has said that most students were satisfied, and the plaintiffs are looking for their money back.
The hundreds of Trump University seminars conducted over several years were tightly choreographed, the documents related to the fraud cases indicate; employees at introductory sessions were even told to use a blue and gold Trump University logo as their laptop background, and the seminars were recorded.

More details from the voluminous court filings:
Trump was heavily involved in marketing. It’s unclear what else.
