One adviser said that while they personally had no knowledge of this, the threat of a Sanders nomination would likely be cause for action.
"I can't really confirm that," the adviser said, regarding the possibility of Obama trying to stop Sanders. "He hasn't said that directly to me. The only reason I'm hesitating at all is because, yeah, if Bernie were running away with it, I think maybe we would all have to say something. But I don't think that's likely. It's not happening."
So when anonymous sources say something about Obama, it’s the same as when anonymous sources say things about Trump?
