President Donald Trump appears to have changed his story about a 2016 meeting at Trump Tower that is pivotal to the special counsel's investigation, tweeting that his son met with a Kremlin-connected lawyer to collect information about his political opponent.
[...] That is a far different explanation than Trump gave 13 months ago, when a statement dictated by the president but released under the name of Donald Trump Jr., read: "We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago."

Oh shut the fuck up.
Bernie's campaign hacked the clinton campaign. [wpsdlocal6.com]
Bernie's campaign manager, Tad Devine, was buds with the same russians as Manafort. Here's a photo of Devine and Konstantin Klimink [usnews.com] the GRU officer assigned to Manafort.
Under Devine's direction the Sanders Campaign made some 'odd' spending decisions. Among them, they chose to dramatically outspend Hillary in New York despite:
1) Clinton being a massive, popular favorite in the state
2) The insanely high media rates for advertising in NY
It was the most expensive advertising you could buy with the least likely benefit.
Meaning, whoever planned that media was getting a piece of the action; knew the campaign could afford it; and chose to overspend there to rake in easy commissions on big-ticket spend.
Advertising heavily in New York didn't help Sanders. He lost NY by 16 pts and 300k votes (a margin larger than around 15 of his primary wins combined).
The heavy rotation 'dirtied up' Clinton though... which wasn't bad for Trump.

YOU shut the fuck up. The link at the bottom of your article explains the situation and shows it was Wasserman-Schultz fucking with Bernie's campaign.
As for your second link, anyone can play that game:

Yeah,. that's not what it says.
1. Clinton Foundation, not Clinton Campaign
2. Anyone citing the uranium one is a tool of the gang of putin
3. If your best defense is "clinton is the same as bernie" that's not actually an argument for bernie

Yeah, it says exactly that, and
1.Clinton's are Clinton's, no matter where the money goes it still is a bribe to her.
2. Don't be a complete asshole.
3. I say nothing about Hillary being ANYWHERE near as good as Bernie. Again, don't be an asshole.
