against russia interference in anyone's campaign unlike Trump. CNN

Bernie said:

"SNIP.....

"He is an autocratic thug who is attempting to destroy democracy and crush dissent in Russia. Let's be clear, the Russians want to undermine American democracy by dividing us up and, unlike the current president, I stand firmly against their efforts, and any other foreign power that wants to interfere in our election," he said.

.....SNIP"

1. No. He says he does not care and will address it when he is President. The point of the interference

is his nomination because they all know he will not win the Presidency and will be given to Trump. Again, the weakness of Sanders perception to address an issue.

U.S. officials have told Sen. Bernie Sanders that Russia is attempting to help his presidential campaign as part of an effort to interfere with the Democratic contest, according to people familiar with the matter.

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 condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive intelligence.

It is not clear what form that Russian assistance has taken. U.S. prosecutors found a Russian effort in 2016 to use social media to boost Sanders campaign against Hillary Clinton, part of a broader effort to hurt Clinton, sow dissension in the American electorate and ultimately help elect Donald Trump.

“I don’t care, frankly, who Putin wants to be president,” Sanders said in a statement to The Washington Post. “My message to Putin is clear: stay out of American elections, and as president I will make sure that you do.

6. You have to admit, the Independent Senator from Vermont

Got this news out a lot quicker than his tax returns. So maybe he's learning, it was only a month before the Independent Senator from Vermont was enabled to let the news tell us what is happening.

8. If the Russians want to re-elect Trump makes perfect sense they want Sanders

9. Yeah, too bad he is too busy trying to divide the party to see how ironic his words are.

Too little too late as usual.
