Does 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.

he needs to explain why he didn't disclose this earlier. And he needs to do it soon. this is just speculation on our part otherwise.

Sanders tells reporters he learned about Russian interference in his campaign about a month ago.

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."

"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."

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.

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.
