Do the Russians want Bernie to win? Not really — they want Democrats to turn on each other

Yup. All this nonsense about Russia supporting Bernie is just another way the Russians can cause turmoil and make Americans question the election process.

  1. It's no coincidence this news broke when it became clear Bernie was the front-runner

  2. It's a simple and effective way to cause Dems to turn on eachother and possibly weaken a united front when it comes to voting against Trump

  3. If Bernie wins the nomination, Trump can now say "see, Russia was helping Bernie, not me."

  4. It sets things up for potential conflict if Bernie wins the election and Trump openly refuses to accept the results "because Russia wasn't fair and helped Bernie. Sad!"

Amazing what a simple piece of misinformation can do to an election process in an already strained/weakened democracy.
