I think this event has potential to resonate, especially if the current owner of the property has trouble servicing the loan for whatever reason (like, say, the good citizens of Burlington object to all that housing crammed onto the parcel and the guy can't make his money back). The bank IS going to get its money one way or another, even if they have to go to court and subpoena her. Those documents were fudged/forged/misstated--that is not in dispute. And she signed them.
Even if the loan is paid off without any issues, should Sanders win the DNC crown, the GOP will come at him--AND her, and her daughter, especially, who has made money off the college and has worked for the campaign-- with both barrels. There won't be any of that "family off limits" stuff--not when they've benefitted from business relationships in that manner. This aspect will be a mere warm-up, but it will be used if he is the standard bearer.
