The one thing no one has reported on his how many of Bernie's staff and supporters have either appeared on or worked for Russia Today (Thom Hartmann, Sirota, Nina Turner, Jeff Weaver). Bernie has also appeared on RT. Pretty sure this isn't true of ANY other campaign or its staff. https://twitter.com/Zac_Petkanas/status/1224446415004303360
As far as I can tell Donald Trump has not appeared on RT - anyone know otherwise?
I mean, Bernie Sanders did appear RT to tell Ed Schultz he wanted SuperDelegates to switch their votes to him AFTER he had been statistically eliminated from winning the primary. He lost CA big by the way.
Again, on May 17th Bernie Sanders tells Schultz on RT that he believes he can STILL go to the CA Dem Convention and WIN even though he'd been eliminated from doing so earlier.

It's mathematically impossible for Bernie to win with pledged delegates https://www.politico.com/blogs/2016-dem-primary-live-updates-and-results/2016/05/math-says-bernie-sanders-is-finished-222775
Frankly, Ed Schultz's path to RT is equally odd. But it's a relationship Sanders clearly relished using. Why?

That moment in 2012 where Sanders' Sr advisor David Sirota says on Russia's gov't funded media channel RT that Obama and Romney are basically clones and that an election between them would be a choice like "the old Southpark adage" between "a turd sandwich vs a giant douche."
Of course, Susan Sarandon also appeared on Russia today to tell people Bernie could still win even after he had been statistically eliminated. https://twitter.com/m_mendozaferrer/status/1231706653071990785
Guess who also appeared on Russia Today after Bernie had been statistically eliminated in 2016 and argued that even though it's a "narrow path... we're still going for it."

That's right: Jane Sanders
Jane Sanders saying on Russia Today in 2016 stating how closed primaries are undemocratic because they don't allow Independents and Republicans to vote in Democratic Primaries. She argues how open primaries show how Bernie beats Trump (even tho Bernie had been eliminated)
Nina Turner on Russia Today just days before the 2016 Democratic convention to complain that Democrats booing Sanders for not endorsing Clinton were the same as Republican House Member Wilson booing Obama during his SOTU.
Here is Ed Schultz on Russia Today stating that the Clinton email scandal a golden opportunity for Sanders camp on May 25, 2016 (after Bernie had been statisitcally eliminated).
Why were the Sanders and their campaign surrogates Nina Turner and David Sirota going on Russia today (owned and funded in whole or in part by the Russian government) AFTER Bernie had zero chance of winning to argue they were still fighitng? Did they want help from Russia?
Ed Schultz goes all in for RT not being propaganda on November 1, 2017 but...
