I wonder if that's what happened to Bernie Sanders. Immediately after his defeat in the primary he bought yet another house, his third. The timing is just too suspicious to be coincidental.

From the article: "Jane told Seven Days that they had recently sold a house in Maine that had belonged to her family since the 1900s, and used the proceeds to purchase the new property, which is located in North Hero (population 803, as of the 2010 census)."

Why would he have bought a house when he was planning on moving to the White House?

I doubt it. He's the most principled seeming american politican and he sold another house for this one.

I would think that he bought the house not for a new excess of money, but time.

He "sold another house" yet showed no such activity in that year's tax return?
