  1. If it’s true that Russia is pushing for Sanders, they better be careful what they wish for. Sanders will destroy Trump along with the nice little cozy relationship he’s got with Putin.

    1. @yrureadingthisname without US trucks , the Soviets would never have beaten the west to Berlin. Without the bombing raids , 1000s of 88 mm guns would’ve been available for the eastern front

    2. Troy Stocker I was always under the impression that it was Deutschland’s decision to invade the USSR that was the beginning of the end for them. Either way, democracy came together with communism to destroy fascism, and look what America is currently. Very disturbing.

    3. Liberal Fraud at the Spy Agencies, again. Unless the Russians can Nuke the Sanctuary Cities, I don’t see how they can even make a dent on the Democrat Rigging Schemes.😁 😂 🤣

    1. @Bonnie Russell there is a petition on moveon that they are refusing to help share that says if you cheat Bernie, we walk.

    1. Nope. It sounds like a brilliant plan because Russia knows America has NEVER been a Socialist country as those policies would doom America to a 3rd world Nation.

      And the vast majority of nativist U.S. Citizens would not let that happen, and overwhelming vote Trump to prevent their country from falling in the hands to Socialism.

      And it’s also make very clear who Sander’ primary Voters are. They are largely IMMIGRANTS!

      The very 3rd world nationals that would vote for Socialism because that’s where they come from.

      So, if I’m the Russians, you can bet I would support Bernie to win the Democrat primary knowing full well it would awaken America to her core and make sure Donald Trump wins to save the U.S. from Socialism.

    2. @Edwin M A bank needs proof that all money is legal before it can put it into an account. It’s not that the mafia doesn’t want to pay less for other real estate, the seller of the real estate is taking a big risk by not insuring the money comes from a legal source.
      Once the mob has a receipt for the Trump condo they sold to their friend, their previously laundered money now becomes legal tender from the sale of real estate. Then they can use that money in the US banking system, to buy other property, or stocks, bonds, hedge funds, or whatever.

    1. @John Smith democratic socialism is not the same thing and what do you think Medicaid, Medicare, and SS are considered? You can hate him all you want but at least get your reasons right first. I’m not a Bernie supporter and I at least have an idea.

  2. Washington Post, owned by Jeff Bezos, waits until the day before the Nevada Caucus before they break this story. Pure coincidence I’m sure. /s

    1. Yep, one deca-billionaire wants another deca-billionaire in the White House to protect his interests. They know the wealth tax on billionaires is coming.

  3. The aim is to breakdown the voting system. Make the hold voting system Illegitimate! Ones thats done, more chaos.

    1. @One Tired Boi .. its the Russians.. they’ve hacked the comment section so spelling nazi’s get distracted and vote for Bernie or Trump.

    2. @Mark Johnson … yeah.. by giving the Clinton foundation and Bill a ridiculous amount of money.. but look how that turned out.. lol

    3. @Jonathan Anderson .. you gave money to Bernie? Hahahahaha.. after bernie got cheated in 2016.. that money all went into the Hillary coffers.. and guess what.. Bernie will get cheated again, and, like last time, be given an additional home…. now he’ll be a millionaire with 4 homes… LOL.

  4. Why do they even put this Jason Johnson guy on television. He’s a consistent liar and he’s wrong in all of his predictions.

    1. You guys have motivated me to donate more to Bloomberg! I can’t afford to lose, healthcare for all would destroy My Portfolio

    1. Americans care. And no “we” _don’t_ “do the same thing.” If YOU do, then YOU can go ahead and forego YOUR vote, lollingboy. Only a traitor or a Russian could think it *_doesn’t matter_* that Russia is trying to taint Sanders and reinstall t’Rump.

    1. @Дмитрий Лебедев every governing body is part of the stage of lies. Szar Russia was taken over by us so we could start directing them the way we want to, just like all nations we have been to wae with. USA military complex = strong arm of Israel.

    2. @Even Hartwick russian boogeyman invented just by the left? So during the cold “war” those werent mostly Republicans using Russia as scare tactics?

    3. @Tim M but Trump didnt have to take guns. He just signed the rights to ammunition away to only people who chose to get a REAL ID. Some choice.

    4. @AJG AJG simple minded Americans voted Trump because a century of predictive progeamming and propoganda told them eventually they would

    1. N0, M0R0N. t’Rump was briefed. It was PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE that t’Rump was warned about Russian interference in his campaign, long before the 2016 election. You’d have to be UP t’RUMP not to have noticed.

    2. It’s from the same PlayBook where anyone even remotely on Trump’s team was set up with purgery traps etc while Hilary and her crew smashed phones , computers ,deleted emails etc and got the kid glove treatment.The same love is playing out for Biden and his boy. Nothing to see here. Obviously… The facts show an undeniable bias against trump in the media and Fbi – just look at the fisa court scam.

    1. @Bacons Strip Under the USSR the Russian People were brainwashed by their schools to believe that the entire world was like the USSR. Once bootleg episodes of _Dallas_ started making their way across that nation the Russian People realized they had been lied to. And the USSR collapsed partly because of that.

    2. @Bacons Strip It’s like you’ve never heard of Donald Drumpf. Which is weird, since most white-supremacists are attached to his mushroom.

    1. Charge Beetle you call that a “shoot down”? Please… of course Russia would be colluding with Sanders. He loves Socialist Russia!

    2. Especially considering the fact that their interference isn’t actually *_”support.”_* It shouldn’t have said “support,” at all. Russia doesn’t want Bernie to win; Putin wants t’Rump to win. Russia’s interference is aimed at _tainting_ Sanders: 1) By its very _presence,_ and 2) By posing as “Bernie bros,” to threaten media figures (who then blame Sanders).

    1. @D.A. Risse nah Russian asset Trump is a puppet for Putin. They can blow all the smoke they like. Trump is gone come Nov 3rd. Or you will get that civil war you been asking for. Real Americans reject tyranny and dictators..

    2. @Michael
      Ha ! I’m sure Putin is a big fan of Trump’s sanctions against Russia, putting the brakes on the Russian gas pipeline to Germany, and wiping out a Russian unit in Syria….. yes, that makes sense…. to a silly Leftist.
      I’m sure Putin wants the guy giving Ukraine lethal military aid to stay in the White House.
      I’m sure he misses the Obama Clinton years….
      MAGA 2020

    1. @Emcee Donald
      Some would argue that the only people who really work in this great nation voted for Trump, not the establishment.
      If the Repubs are the “Party of the Rich,” and the Dems are the “Party of the Poor,” how would the Democrats ever win any election if they helped more people become rich?

    1. @Jessica They’re NOT “helping” Sanders, but they are interfering, and posing as online supporters. That isn’t imaginary. They call themselves Sanders supporters, while they act like the Russian +RumpTrolls that they are, and threaten people. That’s not help; it’s sabotage but it’s certainly interference. Denying (or minimizing) Russia’s interference DOESN’T HELP.

    2. ​@Jessica Try focusing that critical eye towards the mirror. When an enemy attacks your country… yet you deny that the enemy is attacking, and you tell people to focus on the DNC, instead… you’re definitely aiding and abetting the enemy. The DNC isn’t great, but it’s not worse than Russia.

    1. Hooyahfish, that is the idea!!! They want YOU ALL to vote for him, now, I would call this Russian Collusion!!!!

    2. Sharon Lee Lockhart nah, trump did it better. If your going to be corrupt, you have to have to take notes on Trumps meeting with Putin. That is how it’s done 👌

    3. mjbs and you are totally fine with Trump having closed door meetings with Putin for hours and hours and not knowing what they talked about? Remember Helsinki!

    1. *PissOffRussian. Sanders doesn’t want OR NEED your interference (let alone your false equivalencies).*

    1. RUSSIA, therefore Russia. And despite not liking Bernie, they admitted that Bernie gave the reaction that we would ALL want an American official to give: That Putin isn’t a friend, that he doesn’t want any “help” from Putin, and that when he’s president, he’ll put an end to Putin’s ABILITY to interfere.

      If you’re honestly an American, then there’s no value in pretending Russia isn’t REAL.
