What a coincidence that Russia always happens to support whoever the Democrat party elites are trying to destroy at any given point in time. The seditious morons behind these idiotic leaks aren’t even trying anymore. It’s embarrassing.

NEWS: Bernie Sanders briefed by U.S. officials that Russia is trying to help his presidential campaign https://wapo.st/2TaOq70
UPDATE: Since you're unlikely to read this longer non-sarcastic version of this story in the MSM, here's an excerpt from Consortium News--Are US Intel 'Officials' Meddling In US Election With "Report" Russia Is Aiding Sanders? Nothing actually new:
With Democratic frontrunner Bernie Sanders spooking the Democratic establishment, The Washington Post Friday reported damaging information from intelligence sources against Sanders by saying that Russia is trying to help his campaign.
If the story is true and if intelligence agencies are truly committed to protecting U.S. citizens, the Sanders campaign would have been quietly informed and shown evidence to back up the claims.

Instead the story wound up on the front page of the Post, “according to people familiar with the matter.” Zero evidence was produced to back up the intelligence agencies’ assertion.
“It is not clear what form that Russian assistance has taken,” the Post reported. That would tell any traditional news editor that there was no story until it is known.
...
A day after The New York Times reported, also without evidence, that Russia is again trying to help Donald Trump win in November, the Post reports Moscow is trying to help Sanders too, again without substance. Both candidates whom the establishment loathes were smeared on successive days.
I suppose that by releasing the Sanders portion of the smear a day after the Trump smear, the Intel Community operatives are trying to use a sort of double whammy on Sanders. First they smear him with the Russia Hoax stuff to try to detach more "moderate" voters, then they associate Sanders with Trump to try to detach the real tinfoil hat brigade--more mainstream Dems.
