Maybe he can move to Russia where Putin can protect him.

I had a relative who over most of his adult life hid things from his family and played by his own rules (affairs, etc.) But as he got older, both what was maybe considered "acceptable" ("boys will be boys" line of thinking) changed as well as he just wasn't as quick mentally and started to slip up on the lies. And he found he just wasn't able to keep his "activities" hidden as much as he did in the past. He was no longer able to juggle all the balls he had in the air and it all came crashing down.

I wonder if Bernie is going through the same.
