File this under “you can’t make this stuff up.”
Bernie Sanders on Wednesday blamed Hillary Clinton for not doing more to stop the Russian attack on the last presidential election. Then his 2016 campaign manager, in an interview with POLITICO, said he’s seen no evidence to support special counsel Robert Mueller’s assertion in an indictment last week that the Russian operation had backed Sanders’ campaign.
The remarks showed Sanders, running for a third term and currently considered a front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination in 2020, deeply defensive in response to questions posed to him about what was laid out in the indictment. He attempted to thread a response that blasts Donald Trump for refusing to acknowledge that Russians helped his campaign — but then holds himself harmless for a nearly identical denial.
In doing so, Sanders and his former campaign manager, Jeff Weaver, presented a series of self-serving statements that were not accurate, and that track with efforts by Trump and his supporters to undermine the credibility of the Mueller probe.
Theatre of the Absurd at its best! Who was the sole 2016 candidate talking about Russian meddling?
Setting the Record Straight on the 17 Intel Agencies
July 7, 2017 by still4hill
Just to keep the record straight, here are the 17 intel agencies that we have been hearing about since Hillary Clinton brought them up during one of the debates.
I am not particularly worried about Bernie running in 2020. I asked this question and got this answer.
Q: How many public high schools are there in Vermont?
A: There are 149 high schools in Vermont, made up of 83 public schools and 66 private schools. Vermont ranks as the 50th state in terms of student enrollment and 48th in terms of total number of schools. It ranks 2nd for the student/teacher ratio and sits 8th for the percentage of students on free or reduced lunches.high-schools.com/directory/vt/
This may not sound like a lot of high schools but bear in mind that the population of Vermont is 623,657 (2017) as opposed to 8,537,673 (2016) in New York City. That works out to 7.3% of the population of NYC.
Sometimes the oddest, most random stars align.
The Stoneman Douglas students and their allies among high school students nationwide will, I am confident, make sure the VT high school students know about Bernie’s connections to and donations from the NRA as well as his voting record on gun control. They will make sure eligible students register and vote. I am pretty sure he is not long for the Senate in this respect much less the Oval Office.
Blame Hillary? Give me a break! Jeff Weaver? Give me another break!
The kids are all right. They’ve got this now. It’s not the revolution Bernie imagined. But it is a revolution. In fact, it is not even partisan! It is positional. Where do you stand on AR-15s? That is their question. Heads will roll in November. It is very premature to talk about 2020.

Let me see if I have this straight. Bernie expected Hillary to prevent HIS supporters from spreading Russian propaganda and disinformation all over social media during the campaign. And although she was a private citizen, he also expected her to stop the whole Russian intervention. Meanwhile, he, as a U.S. Senator, voted against the Magnitsky Act and last year’s sanctions on Russia for its interference. For anyone else, this would be totally crazy. But for Bernie, it’s just business as usual. Anyone still taking this political hack seriously should seek professional help.

Yes. You have that right.

That Hillary-hating Politico is calling BS on BS means that if he runs again, he shouldn’t expect the reverential treatment from the media he got in 2016.

He won’t get anywhere close to the free ride he got in 2016. The other Dem candidates won’t be afraid to go after him.
