In an interview with the Washington Post, former Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders came to the Clinton campaign’s defense over some of the revelations in recent WikiLeaks email dumps from Hillary ally John Podesta.

Explaining that this is what you see in rival campaigns, the Vermont Senator noted that if WikiLeaks went rooting through his campaign’s emails, they’d see some potentially rough stuff about Hillary Clinton.

During an interview here in his home town, Sanders seemed largely unfazed about what’s been said, suggesting little of it has truly surprised him.

“Trust me, if they went into our emails — I suppose which may happen, who knows — I’m sure there would be statements that would be less than flattering about, you know, the Clinton staff,” Sanders said. “That’s what happens in campaigns.”

1. Assange is just attention whoring

by pretending that political campaigns acting like political campaigns and publishing private e-mails out of context is a "great scandal"....

In three more weeks, we'll hear no more of him or his useful idiot defenders on the alt left...

8. That or it occurs to me that if he is working with the Russian government actively that

he could be doing it with the hopes of securing himself a new safe haven since he really doesnt have many other choices at his disposal.

13. And so many in the media are using the stuff to increase ratings. shameful.

2. Yep. He's got the right attitude.

[shrike]

3. Reminds me why I voted for Bernie in the primary.

And why I appreciate his support of Hillary now.

[Coyotl]

15. Because we are Democrats, and we have the best candidates, best platform, and great ideas.

Oh yeah, and because you don't drop the rope during a tug of war if you want your team to win.

16. Couldn't have said it better myself. eom

4. No doubt in my mind !

there would be statements from Bernie are his bro's that would be less than flattering about, you know, the Clinton staff,”

5. Why no hacked Trump emails from Wikileaks?

What if they dumped a bunch of emails between Trump and his lawyers?

11. I don't think that Republican has a personal/private email account (in his own name)

He may have several accounts with made-up names for 'personal stuff'. The man seems to enjoy his playboy0troll- sock-puppet twitter "games".

7. Bernie Sanders, being a mensch. (nt)

[MANative]

9. ^^^^Abso-freakin-lutely!^^^^

[Doctor Jack]

10. Sanders is a pure class act

The media keeps trying to drive a wedge between Sanders and Clinton but he is flat out refusing to take the bait. Even when it would seem to be real tempting.

[Sunlei]

12. This is probably the new "stolen emails" Republicans plan to dump in wiki leaksThursday/Friday.

14. Relevance.

Assange is now doing whatever he is doing in an effort to stay relevant. Such relevance is pretty much the only thing that stands between the embassy he lives in and a jail cell somewhere. What he does has therefore become extremely personal to him and he has thus lost any credibility.
Sanders is pretty much the most honest politician one can hope for in an average democratic political system. And I'm sure he's not 100% honest either.
Watching the aftermath of the Al Smith dinner, there was a feed of HC talking with, I think, Kissinger. Her facial expressions clearly reflected a very different, more genuine, animated, individual than what one sees when she is facing a camera, playing the political game. She was talking to a peer. If decrepit and barely relevant himself, but a peer still. In a somewhat sad way, I was relieved to see this.
Politicians, and she's certainly not the worst of them, have to align themselves along a marketed, consumable persona. Or lose. This is a fundamental problem of modern democracy.
