Sanders: Clinton should have spoken up about Russian bots during election

239. Why? Summary for me: Trump, senate, house, Gorsuch,

enormous hurts to many people -- including loss of healthcare and enormous shift of our wealth and power to the new kleptocrat class he helped create, the very issues he claimed to care about, and above all our newly gravely endangered future.

Sanders is not only mud to me for any future elections, but I believe he will have fully earned everything historians conclude about his role in this era.

What the Mueller investigation may or may not contribute to those accounts, whether he was 100% a passive beneficiary or an active participant in some way in Russia's use of him, remains to be seen.

The possibility that he played a "useful idiot" role for Russia has been taken off the table by Sanders himself now that he's admitted that he knew they were using him to throw our government to the Republicans.

But just that is damning. He had one honorable choice: to declare what was happening and to unite solidly with the Democratic Party, including Hillary, to defeat the enemy attack. Instead he betrayed his duty to his nation, his duty as a U.S. senator, and his duty to those who believed in and trusted him.
