It's not fake news because I have read about this. I don't know if they have done anything wrong. I doubt it since he's been in office a long time and I've never heard of any scandals associated with him.

She could plausibly have done the alleged deeds without Bernie's knowledge or approval. This is old news and nothing fake about it of course.

Maybe when "Polls showed he could beat Trump and Hillary could not." The Russians put out the rumor to help Trump would win the Presidency.

It needs looking into by the Special Council on how it might have helped Trump; and if it didn't - forget it, because she's a socialist/democrat.

And as she is a SOCIALIST anything that is not theirs' is there to be taken; so it is'nt serious [[unless it helped Trump).

The Sanders must not have as much political insulation as the Clintons. Someone's tricksters might be busy digging up dirt. Must be the Russians.

The man who filed the complaint with the U.S. Attorney's office, Bradey Toensing [[a Republican lawyer who was the state chairman of the Trump Campaign for Vermont), has no direct knowledge of the alleged crime. Instead, he "heard" about it from another man, Vermont Republican State Rep. Don Turner. Surely Turner has direct knowledge of this crime, right? Nope, he heard about it from some friends of his.

So basically, the FBI is investigating a rumor, started and spread by Republican politicians.

That's not correct. They're not saying they're investigating it. They're not saying they're not investigating it. But basically you're correct. Like the old REO Speedwagon tune.

It may not necessarily be "fake" per se, but Neoliberals are definitely using this as leverage [[about the only leverage they have) in an effort to smear Bernie.

But then I recall what Hillary supporters would frequently say when Bill's countless controversies were brought up during the campaign:

"Bill Clinton [[replace that now with Jane Sanders) wasn't running for president!!!"
