Bernie Knew

Sen. Bernie Sanders, who’s seeking his party’s presidential nomination, said he received an intelligence briefing about a month ago. But it didn’t become public until a Washington Post report Friday said President Trump and lawmakers on Capitol Hill had also been informed of the Russian involvement.

In 2016, Russia used social media to boost the Sanders campaign against Cankles Clinton.

If Putin really wants an ally in the White House, any Democrat will do, but Bernie Sanders would be the most obedient apparatchik of them all.

Biden’s Democratic campaign jumped on the developments to suggest he’s the least favorite candidate of the Russians and Trump. “We know who Vladimir Putin doesn’t want to be president,” spokesman Andrew Bates said, “and we know who Donald Trump doesn’t want to be the nominee.”  [Don’t worry Joe, you’re toast anyway.]

During Wednesday’s venomous Las Vegas debate, Sanders hinted that abusive behavior attributed to his “Bernie bros” may have been the work of foreign elements trying to sow division.

“All of us remember 2016, and what we remember is efforts by Russians and others to try to interfere in our elections and divide us up,” Sanders said. “I’m not saying that’s happening, but it would not shock me.”

Elizabeth Warren chided Sanders for waiting a month before making the meeting public.

As Sanders walked away from reporters during a press gaggle yesterday, he was asked why the report is coming out now if he was briefed a month ago. Comrade Bernie turned the question back to reporters with a cryptic response.
