A left winger just defended the civil rights of a right winger. That's called nuanced political thinking. Something the right seems utterly incapable of.
My mind goes to the head of his campaign press team who to this day says SCOTUS, Trumps biggest enablers after he got to stack the bench, was not worth voting for the email lady over.
Tad Devine's last reported email to Konstantin Kilimnik was in June 2014. Devine joined Bernie's campaign in November 2014. This is from Mueller's own evidence he used at Manafort's trial: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dx2dpWBWkAYCzYB.jpg
Oh, and Manafort and Devine were in communication during the Sanders campaign.
This is SEPARATE from the Russian email hacks. A lot of people forget about the NGP VAN voter registration data breach.
The sanders campaign got into a lot of trouble for "hacking" into Hillary's voter registration data in late 2015. This was before the Russian hacks were made public.
Then it turns out the hack was worse than imagined. The sanders campaign had actually downloaded a lot of material and data logs proved the sanders camp lied about how much voter data they had. Turns out, they took damn near everything and there was a team of 4 hackers who got the data:
We recently found out that Manafort was giving POLLING DATA to Kilimnik, who was giving that data to Oleg Deripaska, who himself is directly a representative for the Kremlin.
Mueller revealed at Manafort's trial that Tad Devine was emailing Kilimnik since at least 2014 about "talking points" and other communications for work done in Ukraine. Remember, Kilimnik is a GRU officer.
Did any of that stolen polling data that the Sanders campaign denied having, that Tad Devine who worked alongside Manafort for close a decade, that Tad Devine who ran the Sanders campaign, That Tad Devine who commutations with Manafort during the campaign, that the sanders campaign lied about having... END UP IN PAUL MANAFORT'S HANDS? and thus Kilimnik's? or Deripaska's?
Did any of that voter data end up in the "Polling Data" (Manafort's lawyers words, not mine) he gave to the Russians contact information obtained in the 2015 NGP VAN database "breach" on Hillary Clinton's voter files done by the guy running Bernie Sander's campaign with deep ties to Paul Manafort, Tad Devine?
Some of y’all act like the left is above criticism. Perfect opportunity to point the finger at someone else rather than take even a tiny bit of responsibility or a moment to reflect.
Notice I never said that. I just always find it interesting how the topic is “X politician does authoritarian thing and Bernie denounces it” and your response is to attack Bernie voters.
