So they willingly brief Sanders but attempt a coup on Trump?

Must be nice. Our government is trash

Interesting how all of these Washington establishment outsiders are getting "help" from the Russians...

Looks like we need a FISA Investigation so we can look into his campaign.

You know, just to be sure there is no collusion going on.

Russia loves the communist democrat party; and two billionaires $pending million making sure Putin's interests are fully represented.

The Russians trying to help a communist get elected in America? That actually makes sense!

Probably because they know Bernie would weaken the military and destroy the economy

I would just like to point out that I'm not even sure what the big deal is does prefer one candidate or the other

It's a bunch of false outrage. The media didn't care one bit when some pretty awful countries preferred Obama.

I mean Russia isn't exactly benevolent but in the grand scheme of things I don't really care who they prefer in our elections. You would have to be retarded to simply vote for the other person based on that

I guarantee you that if the Russians preferred the Democrat in the general election the media would say it was because they were afraid the Republican candidate was going to start a war.

they did this in 2016 as well, but the media was just in a tizzy to accurately report things

a huge chunk of that Facebook money went straight to Bernie/progressive causes

Notice how ambiguous and non-specific all of these Russian allegations are regarding Bernie and Trump.

"Trying to help", "meddling", "influencing"...where is the evidence for any of this? What does any of this even mean?

And if Russia is actively helping Bernie and Trump concurrently, how is that going to work in November?

Amazing how every single candidate, left or right, who questions the establishment is in cahoots with Putin.

The swamp is insulting our intelligence

This is a mini version of when trump was "briefed" about that fake dossier.

The msm mysteriously got notified to the top secret contents of that bullshite briefing as soon as it happened.

That dossier was introduced as absolute fact by our media, with the reasoning of - "it wouldn't be part of the briefing if the intelligence agencies didn't fact check it in advance.".

Now this Sanders briefing is being passed off as absolute fact.

Even a lot of trump supporters automatically believe it.

Reality is, Democrats and permanent government do not want Sanders to be the nominee. They want to taint him.

Very curious that this happens to the most anti-establishment candidate, yet again.
