Liberal Host Cenk Uygur Hangs All of Bernie’s Hopes on ‘Probable’ FBI Indictment of Hillary

http://www.mediaite.com/online/liberal-host-cenk-uygur-hangs-all-of-bernies-hopes-on-probable-fbi-indictment-of-hillary/

by Tommy Christopher

One leading bellwether of the currents in the Bernie Sanders movement is the goings on at liberal online behemoth The Young Turks, which has long been a Bernie bunker headed by relative realist Cenk Uygur and a team that’s closer to Susan Sarandon on the #BernieOrBust spectrum. After the New York primary, Uygur predicted that if Sanders lost in Pennsylvania, it would be all over for Sanders, and after Tuesday night’s near-sweep by Hillary Clinton, he soberly told his viewers that their last vestige of hope for a Sanders victory rests in the hands of the FBI. According to Cenk, an indictment of Hillary Clinton related to the email “scandal” is “probable,” the only questions being whether it’s a felony indictment, and if it occurs before the Democratic National Convention:



As Cenk might say, he’s at a twelve when he really ought to be at a five. For a variety of reasons, this “scandal” will amount to nothing, and if what he says about FBI director James Comey possibly playing anti-Hillary politics with this “investigation” is true, it will be by holding off on concluding it, and allowing Republicans to continue sliding their big fat leaks into the eager mouths of uncritical journalists. In point of fact, there are not “dozens” of FBI agents working on this, there are maybe one dozen, and the review they’re conducting is something that reporters are only pretending not to understand. On any other day and any other topic, they will be the first to tell you that the government is ridiculous with its redaction pen.

Seeing that a large segment of Sanders supporters on DU conform to and agree with many GOP talkingpoints, should we be surprised that this myth keeps resurfacing again and again on DU?

turned me off the most about Cenk-Off and his minions is that he keeps saying they have "Views that might be seen as leaning towards Bernie". Guy doesn't have the BALLS to that he and his organization are supporters full out.

The good news is, the GOP usually goes all in for their candidate while these kooks and Leftie Wing Bags try to tear down our Democratic one.

The Donald makes crap like this go down easier because half the Republican party is trying to slit his throat.
