OTOH, if Vlad wants to derail the campaign and hurt Bernie, 10 days before Super Tuesday is a great time.

Of course it could be because Putin is scared Bernie is going to beat his boy Trump and wants to hurt him. Or it can be Putin just ****ing with us. Or it could be more. I’m not sure we should immediately pick the conclusion that is best for our favorite candidate.

I just read hundreds of comments on a Michael Moore post blaming Russia for Bernie Bros. I’m convinced a non-trivial number of the comments were from Russian bots and they were all pumping “Bernie is the only one that can beat Trump” narrative.

Sometimes it's like he really is just lefty Trump. Deflect the question, do the thing you always do with your hands, then blame the source.

Let me know when he cuts off access to their reporters, threatens to sue them, says he'll take away their ability to publish or "jokes" about throwing them in prison.

So he knew about this for a month, but sat on it instead of nipping it in the bud? And it's all the WaPo's fault it came out? You know, the WaPo, that bastion of right-wing bias.

Was the info really classified? If so, then he's in the clear, but I haven't seen a proper source on that.

Do you really expect them to see the truth in what you are saying?

The briefing is classified. I don't know (obviously) if this info was, but protecting sources and methods is no joke.

If he was going to use it to his advantage he would have tub thumped "I have been informed that the Russians are trying to help me and I REJECT THEIR HELP! This is what a patriot does, unlike some people."

I think he didn't know what to do with it so he did nothing. Which, 99% of the time, is the prudent thing to do.

You mean the truth in what Bernie is saying? Amplified by the fact that he is nothing like Trump?

Yeah. I get that.

This is mostly why, when Democratic consultants and campaign operatives hint at the similarities between Trump and Sanders or the rotation pundits on MSNBC do the same, or when Joe Biden describes the behavior of Sanders’s supporters (if not the candidate himself) as “Trump-like,” or when ostensibly conflicted Never Trumpers like The Washington Post’s Jennifer Rubin keep turning up parallels between the Democratic front-runner and the Republican president, it all feels kind of grasping and desperate and off. These are not exceptionally discerning minds, of course, but even if they remain stuck on describing the shape of what the candidates do instead of addressing what they propose, they surely can see the difference between the bloated marzipan golem who currently lords over a lawless archipelago of concentration camps for immigrants and the most reliably left-wing figure in Congress over the last three decades.

The question, then, is why they would bother to make this obviously facile and unconvincing comparison in the first place. That answer has two parts. One is that none of these people are really much good at their very important jobs. The other is that they are scared, because Sanders’s ongoing run toward the Democratic nomination suggests that a critical mass of voters has noticed as much, and is ignoring them. If there’s any real parallel to be drawn between Trump and Sanders, it’s how their respective rises have revealed the flubby redundancy of their respective parties’ establishments.

Maybe he knew about the possibility of it, and they had to verify it? That could have taken that long to confirm.

I do agree with your last sentence for sure, in any case.
