(93,504 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

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.
