Link to tweet
The report provides a fresh look at allegations that the Russian-based Internet Research Agency not only interfered in the 2016 campaign on social media on behalf of Donald Trump but also to help Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), a candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination.
Internal IRA documents referred to support for the Trump campaign and opposition to candidate Clinton, according to the report. While much of this section of the report is redacted, it cites directions to IRA operators not to harm Sanders.
Main idea: Use any opportunity to criticize Hillary [Clinton] and the rest (except Sanders and Trump we support them), quotes the report.....
While Sanders had said in a previous radio interview that one of his campaign workers figured out what was going on and alerted Clinton campaign officials, his 2016 campaign manager Jeff Weaver told The Post in a recent interview for the story that Sanders misspoke a little bit and conflated a few of the facts. . . . He did not know, I did not know, none of us knew that Russia was behind the efforts.

(1,532 posts)2. It was actually mentioned in Paragraph 43
of Mueller's indictment of Russians.
https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4380480-Mueller-Russia-Indictment.html
43. By 2016, Defendants and their co-conspirators used their fictitious online personas to interfere with the 2016 U.S. presidential election. They engaged in operations primarily intended to communicate derogatory information about Hillary Clinton, to denigrate other candidates such as Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, and to support Bernie Sanders and then-candidate Donald Trump
Same puppetmaster.
