“I’m not making any predictions, but I think the’ve got their eye on somebody who is currently in the Democratic primary and they’re grooming her to be the third party candidate,” Clinton told host David Plouffe.

“She’s a favorite of the Russians. They have a bunch of sites and bots and other ways of supporting her so far and that’s assuming Jill Stein will give it up, which she might not because she is also a Russian asset.”

“They know they can’t win without a third-party candidate, and so I do not know who it is going to be but I can guarantee you they will have a vigorous third-party challenge in the key states that they most need it,” Clinton concluded.

Ahead of this week’s Democratic presidential debate, The New York Times published a piece that painted Gabbard as a tool of the Russians. The paper cited she’s gained support “from online bot activity and the Russian news media.” On the debate stage, Gabbard acknowledged it as a “smear.”
