who in 2016 dismissed the Democrat's concerns about Russian hacking of the election. The Intercept is run by Glenn Greenwald, the libertarian-Snowden backer who has always discounted stories about Russian interference.

Also, she went on record as having voted for JILL STEIN.

Between this hire during both campaigns and of Tad Devine in 2016, I think Bernie's judgment about people is questionable.

1. K&R

His judgement is very questionable.

3. The people Sanders hires are a reflection of Sanders' own values.

4. Anything involving Glenn Greenwald,

Briahna Joy Gray, or Nina Turner is automatically not to be believed. The people Bernie hires and/or trusts is a lie-laden swamp.

5. I'm 100% Sanders, Concur That Ms. Gray Was Wrong About Russia And Am Comfortable With Her Hiring

Clearly, she was WAY OFF on the question of meddling in 2016. All competent, dispassionate journalists must be aware that our elections have been insecure since 2000 and have improved little, if at all. That doesn't mean that Gray can't serve Sanders well now in a different job.

6. She's got a very important job -- National Press Secretary. Why would he give

such a high profile position to a woman who'd gone on the record as a Jill Stein supporter?

13. The Truth Would See Me Banned

A few months ago, I tried to share a few documented facts on this important issue and received a stern warning from the moderators. Alas, the true answer to your question must remain hidden.

17. You got a "stern warning" from "a moderator?" That doesn't sound quite accurate.

I don't think you understand what moderators do here. They don't get involved in deleting posts - forum moderators lock posts that are considered not in the appropriate forum.

What kind of 'stern warning' that told you that you would "be banned?"

Perhaps you posted something in the wrong forum, and it was locked? That's not censorship, that's their job.

Can you clarify?

21. It sounds like you got the usual notification that your post had been hidden by a jury

not "deleted by the moderators."

I have never heard of anyone being "on probation," let alone for a "first offense," let alone by a "moderator."

If one gets four hides, they are given the standard warning that their posting privileges will be suspended if they get one more hide.

What was the 'stern warning' you got?

I really think you are confused on what was communicated to you, and it wasn't a warning from admin that you are on "probation."

There is no such thing.

23. Cool story. DU doesn't have moderators anymore and hasn't for years.

24. IKR?

9. what concerns me is

well, not this.

[TwilightZone]

11. Maybe they're the best he can get.

I don't mean that sarcastically. Perhaps, with so many people in the race already (and more coming), they're the highest-profile, semi-experienced people he can get to work for his campaign. The political talent is much more spread out this cycle.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that they supported him in 2016. And, with his testy relationship with the Democratic Party over the years, he doesn't have the same aversion to people who trash the party than most of the other candidates have.

Could be some of each.

12. Very informative

Thanks.

14. Good gad!

15. Kick!

16. With this in mind, imagine the makeup of his presidential cabinet. nt

22. Oh holy shit, this is actually the first time I've considered it since I never felt he had a chance.

18. The Intercept has always pushed the idea that the GOP and Democrats are equally bad and corrupt.

They're "Tiger Beat" for anyone on the left who hates the Democratic Party.

Now Sanders chooses one of their editors.
