ARE the Russians really trying to boost the Bernie Sanders’s campaign – because they would like to see a more left wing US President who would be more in tune with their views? Or are they trying to keep Donald Trump in post – so he will continue with his US strong arm foreign policy and keep the world divided? Or are forces around Trump claiming that the Russians want to back Bernie Sanders in order to discredit Sanders because Trump fears Sanders more than any other Democrat candidate? Or [fill in your own additional conspiracy theories here…].
“Let’s be clear, the Russians want to undermine American democracy by dividing us up and, unlike the current president, I stand firmly against their efforts and any other foreign power that wants to interfere in our election.”
