An earlier diary may have gone too far in its assessment about Bernie’s silent complicity in Russian interference in the Democratic primary, but the fact remains…
Bernie waited.
A month.
To tell us what the Intelligence Community told him about Russia working to boost his campaign.
- How many votes have already been cast over the last month?
- How many voters made their decisions over the last month?
- How many influencers posted their support over the last month?
- How many politicians and popular figures gave their endorsement over the last month?
Think all those people deserved to know what the Sanders campaign knew, that Russia has been working to boost his campaign?
Why did Bernie remain silent for a month?
What impact has that silence already had on the Democratic primary?
Why is his campaign only now disclosing what they knew?
Did they do so voluntarily, or because they knew it was about to leak?
Trump being briefed on Russia’s covert pro-Sanders operation and keeping it a secret is to be expected.
Sanders sitting silently by while Russia is undertaking a covert operation on his behalf—that willful lack of transparency is a huge f*ing National Security deal.
If that month-long silence isn’t complicity, it’s at least disqualifying.
…
BTW, RT is chock full today of disinformation articles saying what Trump is saying, that this is all just a hoax.

By the way, no diary seemed to pick up what Ari Melber highlighted in his show on Wednesday, February 19, that both Bloomberg and Sanders are straight up paying politicians to endorse them. WTAF.
