Democratic Primaries
Related: About this forumDoes anyone know for sure that the our Intel peolpe that briefed Bernie
didn't tell him the information needed to remain confidential considering the fact that they're running on ongoing investigation?
I'm not a Bernie supporter but he's not an orange assface either.
They may have targeted Bernie and were counting on it being leaked so his opponent that they really want to get the nomination could use it against him. It's called reverse psychology.

But asked why it came out now, Sanders points to the fact that the NV caucuses are a day away. And adds sarcastically, "Washington Post? Good friends."

Per the Mueller report, the Russians tried to boost the Sanders campaign in 2016. The simple explanation is that they're doing the same thing in 2020. A conspiracy theory isn't required for something that's not that complicated.

(11,141 posts)It's like ask yourself who would benefit most from what has just transpired? Obviously not Bernie. Maybe Putin was counting on it coming out and his plan was to make sure it did.
