Bernard and Russia involvement

[James Monroe]

In the ongoing Russia investigation, Bernie Sanders has said that he unwilling know the Russians were targeting Hillary Clinton campaign. What he hasn't acknowledged is the backing he received from Vladimir Putin and co. Russian Facebook memes showed a shirtless geriatric warning primary voters not to support Hillary Clinton. Ted Devine, one of Bernie campaign mangers, has been in contact with the Russians during the lead up of the election. Bernie responses resemble the the man who was ultimately put into Oval Office by the same cronies.



Will this scandal doom Bernie campaign if he decides to run in 2020?

[Vespucci]

No. Russia was going to help anyone who wasn't Hillary in the Democratic primaries. While it could be brought up by his opponents, it won't "doom" the campaign unless someone in his 2016 campaign is actually indicted. So far, there hasn't been evidence of direct collusion with the Sanders campaign, unlike the Trump campaign (and possibly Jill Stein as well.)

[TheSaint250]

No, unless someone in the campaign goes into communications with the Russians, which could happen.

[Mr. Morden]

It's certainly not going to be a deal killer, but it could create a few negative news cycles for him if Jeff Weaver doesn't stop talking about it in a boneheaded way.

This level of attacks show that 3rd way really has nothing.

What evidence do you have on that count?

Sounds like we need to investigate John Kerry, Sheldon Whitehouse, the DSCC, Claire McCaskill, and Robert Menendez for their Russia connections! 

[Former Kentuckian]

This is some Red Scare stuff and it's so embarrassing. Devine also worked on the campaigns of John Kerry and Al Gore and a bajillion Democratic senate races.

George Zornick in The Nation basically sums up my feelings on the situation:

[lekmanin]

This just shows what we knew all along. Bernie sanders has no principles and so hes a bad contender in 2020 compared to someone like Biden.

[Türkisblau]

whoever believes this have to be the stupidest mf'ers on the planet lmao

(btw, is joy ann reid a russian psyop? she was retweeted more than bernie by the russian bots, after all)

It wouldn't be Jeff Weaver if he conveyed his points effectively.

[GoTfan]

It's the fact that people actually take this seriously that frightens me. It's like the whole fake news story about Corbyn being a Communist spy in the 1980s.


Furthermore, I find it somewhat disconcerting that so far, both stories have been against prominent left wing figures.
