President Trump and lawmakers on Capitol Hill have also been informed about the Russian assistance to the Vermont senator, according to people familiar with the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence.

It is not clear what form that Russian assistance has taken.

“Well, he IS one of them, so why wouldn’t they?”

Actually no. Bernie is a committed Marxist of which the old Soviet Union once was. Today Russia pretends to be a democracy but it actually a “thugocracy” ruled by a semi dictator and his oligarch partners in economic crime that sucks the life blood out of Russia. Russia has the potential to become a great nation, even greater than the in the past. It will not be this.

The real hell of it is even in the vast corruption of Russia today, the people are far better off than under Marxism of the past. Marxism is what Bernie wants to give us.

The Russians are corrupting our elections is becoming like the boy who cried wolf too many times.

This looks more like a smear job by the Democrat Party Establishment to upset Bernie’s campaign.

We need to keep in mind there are far too many whackos in the Intelligence Community who are more than willing to concoct any sort of story to harm a Presidential Candidate.

I’m of the mind if we are going to go after the Russians for buying influence, we need to do the same with China, and with the Mexican vote.

As someone else suggested, the narrative the lugenpresse will spin (and dem candidates will bite on) is that Russia is propping up Bernie because they believe he will lose against Trump (their actual puppet) thus ensuring their puppet gets another four years in office. Bet the house on it.
