During the primaries, Sanders gave at least 3 interviews to a Russia-controlled television network, RT. Around that same time Sanders was on RT, Russian employees at the Internet Research Agency were given a doc explaining how to influence the US election.

A Clemson University researcher said Sanders was seen as “just a tool” to the Russians. The tweets suggested either voting for Trump OR a 3rd party candidate such as JILL STEIN or writing in SANDER's name.
But it wasn't just the Russian troll farms who were pushing Sanders's supporters towards Trump. Remember that "documentary" called Clinton Cash?

This ⬇️ from May 2016, three months BEFORE be became Trump's campaign manager:
"Bannon said that his target audience was NOT hardcore Republicans & Trump supporters but liberal progressives. He especially wants to get the movie in front of followers of the VT senator, as he sees an affinity between its message & the anti-corruption focus of Sanders."
It would really be nice to hear from Bernie's 2016 campaign operative, Tad Devine - aka the protege of Paul Manafort - and see if he had anything to do with arranging the THREE Sanders appearance on RT.
Then this reporting from @politico in Februray 2018:

Bernie Sanders is taking credit for action to combat the Russian incursion into the 2016 election. The Vermont senator’s claim of sharing suspicious activity with the Clinton campaign NEVER happened.
