This is a disturbing story. The Daily Caller reports:
Evidence in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian collusion in the 2016 election reveals that former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders’ chief strategist was in contact with a former Russian intelligence agent before joining the campaign.
Tad Devine joined Sanders’ campaign in 2014 before it officially launched. Communications between Devine, Paul Manafort, Ukrainian diplomats and Russian intelligence agents began as early as Jan. 3, 2006, and continued until no earlier than June 19, 2014, according to a list of exhibits filed in a Virginia federal court Wednesday.
“If he runs, I’m going to help him,” Devine said in November 2014, The Washington Post reported. “He is not only a longtime client but a friend. I believe he could deliver an enormously powerful message that the country is waiting to hear right now and do it in a way that succeeds.”
Manafort, then-candidate Donald Trump’s campaign chairman during the 2016 presidential election, was indicted on several charges in Mueller’s investigation. He pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to money-laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent for his lobbying work.
Does this mean Bernie should be under special counsel investigation?
The people who supported Bernie and threw money should be the ones really pissed off at the DNC. Bernie was “USED” to pull votes into the left lane and gain finances. He was never to be a viable candidate, only to pull votes in Hillary’s direction, and pull finances into the DNC. Oh, he made a bit of money in the end if you check the record. But the whole campaign was a scam, and when Hillary didn’t win many in the DNC stuck the knife in Bernie. All of his supporters should well remember how he was treated by the DNC and Hillary Clinton.
Should Bernie be under investigation too. Seems like a certainly reasonable idea, for a number of reasons.
Don’t worry….he won’t be. He is not a Republican
He’ll probably be given immunity instead
another crooked democrat he and his wife both belong in jail
Yes, he should be not only investigated, but maybe put in jail. Hey, maybe him and his wife could share a cell and keep each other happy!
Not to worry Bernie! Since you are a Democrat/Socialist/communist Mueller has not interest in you!
How can a socialist-communist (both start out as socialists or just progressives) be colluding with his/her own? With any of those named groups, you are either one or not one! If you are, your life is devoted to it and starts with a first survival issue- how do you eat without a job? Answer: Get a Democrat to pay you to eat, and work for the Utopian change of an unknown future time.
Somebody else will pay as George Soros does not want you to starve.
Since the libtards have been making the charges of collution with nothing to show for their efforts, its only fair that they admit to the real collution and shut up.
Sorry but all politicians have skeletons in their closets. So yes, at no expense to the tax payers (true American citizens only), they should all be under investigation. Matter of fact screw the investigations, throw them all in jail and let them without doubt and positive proof only prove their innocence. This will be a case of definitely guilty until proven innocent. With actual facts not drummed up garbage. This should definitely drain the swamp from both sides of the aisle. And remember we don’t have privy to what Donnie and his 5% of the administration is up to. Also as Machiavelli said in “The Prince” — Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Could be what Donnie is up to.
Yes, yes and yes!. And Bernie’s wife should be in jail by now. Any ordinary American citizen–as opposed to non-citizen–would be.
