Hillary: Russians Might Back Gabbard As Independent

The Washington Post reports:

In a conversation on former Obama campaign manager David Plouffe’s podcast, Hillary Clinton suggested the Russians are leveraging a number of top U.S. politicians. She suggested Russia had kompromat on Trump. She accused 2016 Green Party nominee Jill Stein of being a “Russian asset.”

And she suggested Russia might back Gabbard as a third-party candidate. “They’re also going to do third-party again,” Clinton said.

“I’m not making any predictions, but I think they’ve got their eye on someone who’s currently in the Democratic primary and are grooming her to be the third-party candidate. She’s the favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far.”
