Congratulations to our presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden!
Was the briefing about the Russians helping Bernie Sanders classified?
If so, which GOP Congressperson leaked it?

(90,336 posts)1. Sanders could've denounced Russia's helping him without disclosing classified information so even if
... it was a generic denouncement would've minimum covered his but.
I don't see how not denouncing Russia's involvement in his campaign helps America's election process.
I don't see this as a positive for Sanders

And the GOP is helping him do it.

(13,582 posts)8. I think there are two things going on here...
We know the House and Senate Intel Committees were briefed on something - thats what led to Trump firing the DNI and their second in command.
I think the Sanders briefing is separate and specific to Russian efforts to impact his campaign.
