Jane Sanders: Our Taxes Are Being Checked and Will Be Out

Still waiting!

[leftofcool]

1. They are having the back years "checked"

[Her Sister]

2. The video is awful.

You can tell the interviewer is not buying, though!

[DesertRat]

14. Mark Halpern has had her on a couple of other times

You can tell that he's not buying into her lying and deflecting!

[DURHAM D]

3. Jane lied and lost her job so

one can only assume she fudged their taxes.

[Her Sister]

4. This video!! argh!

Ummm giggle giggle ummm laugh (serious question) big smile ummmm! giggle giggle ummmm! smile big smile giggle

[UtahLib]

5. Naughty, naughty Jane. We see you. eom

[puffy socks]

30. Yeah but

Hillary's speeches! the unfair establishment! the DNC! Paid Brock Hillbots!

[yallerdawg]

6. Can you believe...

her husband has left her hung out to dry on this issue?

I can't remember any other national candidate ever saying, "Don't ask me - see my wife," on any subject!

[KitSileya]

7. Another example of the inherent misogynism of the campaign

Can you imagine the reaction if HRC had said that - that that was her husband's job? She'd be crucified, that's what.

[2naSalit]

11. Thta's new and interesting since I

distinctly recall Bernie stating in one of the debates that it was Jane who did their taxes and he'd have to defer to her on that. Then he unequivocally PROMISED that they would be out soon. like within a week... and that was a couple days before rushing off to not have a sit-down with the Pope.

[sarae]

21. YES

So true – people would be calling for her head! Once again, there's one standard for everyone else, and a different one for HRC.

[LiberalFighter]

8. Why do they need to be checked?

What has been filed is what they should release. They should not modify them.

[SharonClark]

9. Exactly!

[BlueMTexpat]

10. The only ones that might

need to be checked over are for 2015. I know that we always double and triple-check before we file and I don't believe that they have filed the 2015 returns yet.

But why would returns from prior to 2014 require checking?

[George II]

20. She told Andrea Mitchell 2 weeks ago that they weren't going to file for an extension.

[BlueMTexpat]

23. I have wondered about that remark ...

did she even realize that she effectively has requested one? Even if not in writing. Or perhaps they'll be able to say that they were out of the country on April 15 since that was the day the entire family went to Rome, ultimately to waylay the Pope on his way to Lesbos.

I realize that the actual deadline this year was April 18. But in view of the Pope visit on April 15, perhaps the IRS will cut them some slack so that they won't be subject to a late filing fee.

Some remarks that Jane and Bernie have made recently make me wonder whether either one or both might be at least one egg short of a dozen.

[kstewart33]

12. Why the delay, delay, delay?

A $200,000 severance deal after being fired from a college that is struggling to stay financially afloat.

Preaching about income inequality and poverty....

[DesertRat]

13. Watch her eyes as she deflects the question

Imo, she is hiding something.

[Her Sister]

15. and she starts laughing like something is funny!

Keeps saying: "Don't worry about it" "Don't worry about it" -about the taxes. Ugh!

[sarae]

22. That's really annoying.

Don't worry about it?! Especially when she (or her husband) follows it with a comment about how HRC should release transcripts.

You just know that if HRC did release transcripts, they'd come up with some other crap she needs to make available to the public. As if her whole life isn't already out there for everyone to see!

[NastyRiffraff]

16. Clearly she doesn't want to talk about taxes

She interrupts the interviewer to tell him what SHE wants to talk about. Guess what, Jane; it doesn't work that way. They ask, you answer. Or tell them you refuse to answer. Avoiding the question only makes you look stupid and dishonest.

[Koinos]

17. Have they thrown the IRS and the FEC under the bus yet?

[Thinkingabout]

18. I am just wondering, has Jane taken over all of the interviews? I have seen her

On several occasions, is Bernie just too tired or does he see the end result and is tired of fighting.

[George II]

19. She said this year's tax returns would be released WHEN THEY ARE DUE, which was April 18....

...if she just submitted them, why do they have to be checked out? Did she submit false or incorrect tax returns just 12 days ago?

[Her Sister]

24. RELEASE THE TAXES!

Isn't she in Vermont! Has anyone heard from Jane lately!

[liberal N proud]

25. Jane Sanders lied!

[Agnosticsherbet]

26. This story should be paired with the story on Trumps refusal to post his tax papers.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/just-what-controversies-could-trumps-tax-returns-expose-2016-03-21

[Her Sister]

27. Yes! Neither BS nor Trump releasing!

We need transparency from these two!

Jane said over a week ago that she was going to release more taxes!

[puffy socks]

34. Bernie has been saying this since April 3rd

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/apr/06/bernie-s/bernie-sanders-has-released-few-tax-returns-compar/

[William769]

28. Makes one wonder what they are hiding.

Surely they cannot be that inept.

[Koinos]

29. Let me guess, for starters:

1. Severance pay ($200,000) for Jane from Burlington College (2011 or 2012 filing year).

2. Other benefits paid to Jane from Burlington College (besides severance).

3. Campaign funds paid to Jane for her "consultant" work for Bernie's campaign (what is she worth?).

4. $4000 paid again to Jane as alternate member of toxic waste committee (re Sierra Blanco).

5. Rents from multiple properties (what assets were they taking so many deductions for?).

Jane does the taxes, and Jane has the embarrassing stuff to hide (including assets producing income). That's why I think that Bernie would be willing to let her take the blame, even though he also signed the forms. But he isn't good at "math and numbers" (shown by his tax and spend proposals), so it wasn't his fault.

ETA: They probably should have chosen "married filing separately" status.

[misterhighwasted]

31. All the Above.

I'm betting there are also a few surprises that would torpedo what's left of his sad limping campaign.

Isn't today the FEC deadline too? May 11th.

[Koinos]

39. His response to the FEC inquiry about illicit contributions (re March monthly report) is due today.

[Her Sister]

40. Even more FEC violations as of yesterday May 10th!

I just posted a new OP:
NEW! FEC releases damning 639 pages of violations by Bernie Sanders campaign (HRC GP)

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107130374

and yes Today May 11th is a deadline for the FEC letter about a month or so ago!

32. Plus: Jane Sanders personally financially benefits from shipping Vermont's toxic nuclear waste to be

Radioactive: Tax Return Confirms Bernie Sanders Has Financial Stake in Nuclear Waste Dumping

http://www.thepeoplesview.net/main/2016/4/18/tax-return-confirms-sanders-financial-stake-in-toxic-nuclear-dump

Bernie Sanders released his 2014 tax returns this weekend, and in addition to having claiming massive mortgage interest and property tax deductions vastly outstripping the average American - and certainly the average Vermonter - the tax returns seem to confirm a dark open secret in the Sanders family: Jane Sanders personally financially benefits from shipping Vermont's toxic nuclear waste to be dumped elsewhere.

For a quick refresher, refer back to our coverage of Bernie Sanders' eager support for Congressional legislation to expedite movement of Vermont's nuclear waste to Texas as well as his cavalier disregard for Texans and Vermonters who opposed the dump. We reported then that though Congress did not designate a specific site, the Congressional record was abundantly clear on where the likely site of the dump would be, near the low-income Latino community of Sierra Blanca. The protests of many progressives, including Paul Welstone's, fell on Bernie Sanders' deaf ears. The community, however, stood up and fought back. And, they won.

Besides from being eager to make his state's nuclear waste someone else's problem in a hurry, TPV writer Kris Jirapinyo noted that Jane O. Sanders, Bernie Sanders' wife, conveniently sat on the Board of Texas Low-Level Radioactive Waste Disposal Authority, or TLLRWDA, the entity which technically held the power to designate the dump site.

That much we already knew. Now, in light of Bernie Sanders' release of his 2014 taxes, we know that that Bernie and Jane Sanders financially benefit from her position on a Board that participates in willful poisoning of communities despite ample warning. According to their own tax return, Jane Sanders "materially participated" in the board, and received compensation.

For a candidate who cannot breathe a full sentence without baselessly accusing his opponent of taking money from special interests, the discovery that he and his wife financially benefit from nuclear toxic waste dumping is... really... something.

[MattP]

33. He promised right before the vatican trip they would be out tomorrow

He has never released a full return they lied and said he has released full returns in the past, if he ever was full vetted who knows

[Her Sister]

36. While on his return from the Vatican trip the 2014 taxes were released

but then on April 29th as in the OP video Jane sanders said at the end of that interview that she was releasing more soon. That is about a week and a half ago! What happened!

[hamsterjill]

35. The idea of releasing tax returns is a common act in Presidential elections.

When the Bernie camp acts like it's been a surprise to them that they are expected to release tax returns, it makes me wonder what ELSE they haven't considered for him to become President.

Surely, a good President would need the ability to foresee issues and be prepared.

[Koinos]

37. His campaign does seem like "amateur hour" sometimes.

His foreign policy preparation seems very weak, and even his grasp of financial issues appears quite superficial. I think he just hasn't done his homework.

[hamsterjill]

43. It does!

I've often wondered if they ever truly expected to get this far. I think when Bernie started, before he became so hostile, his purpose was to move the platform to the left. I'm not sure that I believe he has ever fully assessed what would be required of him to actually BE President.

When he's asked about his own agenda, he gives the same, tired answers - and somehow manages to get into every snippet how his average donation is $27! That doesn't tell ME how he is planning to deal with North Korea. He wants to break up the banks, but I've yet to understand what he'll do as replacement.

He wants to give free healthcare to everyone, which I applaud, but to do that, based on the information that he's given as to his proposals, will cost me $8,000 more per year in taxes with me reaping little to no benefit from that increased taxation. I can't afford that, and I am no where near wealthy.

If Kim Jong Un attacks us, I'd like to know that Bernie will be willing to do more than just have a group hug. Bernie never seems to answer that - he only repeats and repeats and repeats that he is against war. Well, we are ALL against war. But what would he do if war is thrust upon the United States and we have no choice about it.

I don't get a comfort level from him.

[Koinos]

44. Excellent post!

[nini]

38. What a damn joke

these two are pathetic.

[Koinos]

41. The irony is that his whole campaign focuses on "money" and income inequality.

And he can't seem to get his own financial house in order (taxes and campaign funds).

[Koinos]

42. And more FEC violations in this latest report, posted thanks to Her Sister!

Wow! Six hundred thirty-nine pages of violations!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1107130374

His campaign may owe more than it can pay out at this point.

[Treant]

45. Still waitin'.
