Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said Friday that Russia's efforts to interfere in the 2016 presidential election and intent to get involved in this year's midterm elections “has been clear to everyone" except President Trump.

“It is the American people who should be deciding the political future of our country, not Mr. Putin and the Russian oligarchs,” Sanders said in a statement.

“It is absolutely imperative that the Mueller investigation be allowed to go forward without obstruction from the Trump administration or Congress,” he continued.

Sanders's statement comes on the heels of special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment Friday of 13 Russian nationals and three Russian groups for allegedly interfering in the 2016 election.

2. Oh, Trump knows the Russians interfered

if Mueller can keep going through to the end, I'm guessing we'll find that Trump likely was highly involved. He is known to be a micromanager.

However, while Trump is not exactly a genius, or very stable, he's smart enough to know not to admit to Russian interference.
