"Mother Jones has reviewed that report and other memos this former spy wrote. The first memo, based on the former intelligence officer's conversations with Russian sources, noted, "Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years. Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance." It maintained that Trump "and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals." It claimed that Russian intelligence had "compromised" Trump during his visits to Moscow and could "blackmail him." It also reported that Russian intelligence had compiled a dossier on Hillary Clinton based on "bugged conversations she had on various visits to Russia and intercepted phone calls."

It involves servers (and emails?) so maybe they'll focus on it this time.

It's the victim, not the perpetrator's fault. Got it.

I hope it gets attention.

It will help prevent some Clinton defectors from her email troubles from going over to Trump.

Too hard to follow. Too convoluted and complex.

Why can't it be something as simple as Hillary's emails? That might get attention.

If the major media outlets pick it up, then it may have some feet.
Otherwise, slate.com is not going to do it.

Katy Tur just tweeted about it, for what it's worth.

As have Glenn Thrush from Politico, and Jennifer Epstein from Bloomberg.

Don't have a private server, don't have these issues. I doubt Bernie would be dealing with these many scandals.

I wish I knew a CNN reporter. I'd give this story to him/her right now.

The news is converging. Perhaps a sign of End Times?

I mean seriously, this seems like a headline a neural network would come up with.

Apparently the New York Times was about to post something exactly like this so Slate scooped them.

Bernie would have the socialism millstone around his neck. Rightly or wrongly, that would be worse

No it's not...it's actually really easy to follow

Trump has a private server connected to a Russian bank which = he is deep in bed with Russian intel

If Bernie had been in the public spotlight for as long as Hillary, and if he had been married to the President of the United States, and if he had generated any interest in himself before this election cycle, AND if he was a female, then for sure people would have been pounding on him like they pound on Hillary.

Give me an effin break!

Yep! It reinforces the previous discourse with material evidence, and it's a private server no less!
