They're already using the indictment reports to......

attack Bernie!

I have no idea why the Russians would indicate a preference for Bernie; the only explanation I can see would be that they wanted 'anyone but Hillary.'

I'm not certain how to react to this; this may be the point where I finally say goodbye to DU.

Bernie needs to be proactive, issuing a statement on this.

Not really my thing but I doubt that he will be implicated in any involvement when the dust settles.

they didn't prefer him, it was simply a precaution on their behalf.

I'm assuming they pushed Bernie over HRC in the primary. When they knew HRC won the nomination they pushed even harder for Trump in the General.

If Bernie was helped - he didn't know.

I'm sure he'll have something to say about that. He's an honorable man and he'll say he abhors the actions that these Russians use to influence the 2016 election - from the primaries to election day. It's not that his team had Russian ties like all of Trump's team.
