Even before this latest news, the FUD was everywhere. It will only get worse.

At this point, they don't even need to interfere, just imply that maybe they are, and the suspicion is everywhere.

It sucks. And the truth is, they could be working to benefit any of the candidates. It's the uncertainty that causes the damage.

doing it -- that they're helping him because they believe his nomination will help Trump get re-elected.

Sanders isn't encouraging Republicans who'll vote for Trump in the GE to vote for him in the primary, either, but they're doing it because they believe Trump can beat Sanders more easily than he can beat Biden.
