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.

This makes more sense, though.
Helping Trump would mean helping America.
Helping Sanders would mean undermining America.

So the Russians know what the Fake News media doesn’t know: that it’s capitalist vs commie, Trump vs Bernie. Yeah Bloomie is the spare tire, but seriously our enemies know our politics better than we do and know how to play us.

It’s gonna be hilarious if the Democrats start going after each other as the Russian candidate. Something that started out as blood libel against Trump might repeat itself as farce in the Democratic primaries.

I wonder if Barr and Wray are going to use this as an excuse to plant a spy in the Bernie campaign ... obama certainly set a precedent for doing that ...
