To avoid any misunderstanding, my answer is an unequivocal \u201cNO!\u201d  Nevertheless the propaganda mavens and liars, who speak for the Republican Reich, are crowing that Russia is getting involved in the 2020 election to help Bernie Sanders, not their own criminal Fuhrer, Donald Trump*, based on the following.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"0222Bernie\"<\/p>\n

Russia has been trying to intervene in the Democratic primaries to aid Senator Bernie Sanders, according to people familiar with the matter, and Mr. Sanders said on Friday that intelligence officials recently briefed him<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The disclosure came a day before the Nevada caucuses, where Mr. Sanders is a favorite, and followed revelations a day earlier that Moscow was interfering on President Trump\u2019s behalf<\/a> this year, as it did in 2016.<\/p>\n

Mr. Sanders denounced Russia in a statement, calling President Vladimir V. Putin an \u201cautocratic thug\u201d and warning Moscow to stay out of the election. Drawing a contrast with Mr. Trump, he said he would stand against any efforts by Russia or another foreign power to interfere in the vote\u2026.  [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
