feel like this must be a counterspoof

Political professionals are journeymen who are often ideologically and geographically flexible in their assignments, though usually rooted in some spectrum of core belief. That and a longterm relationship help explain longtime "establishment" Dem operative Tad Devine (Bentsen, Bob Kerrey, Gore, Kerry, Corzine, Menendez, McCaskill, Bill Nelson, etc.)'s becoming Bernie's chief strategist. Whether they are sufficient to explain that role among others he has taken on is another question. Consider that Devine, once chief of staff to mob-tied Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci, after more than two decades at the center of Democratic politics, appears to have been marginalized (or marginalized himself) by the 2008 cycle. That's two years after he first went to work for Paul Manafort (and alongside Tony (but not John) Podesta) on behalf of Putin-aligned Yanukovych and the Party of Regions, and I'm not aware of his having worked for any party-endorsed politician or having had any non-Yanukovych major client since. Certainly no facts involving compromising financial or other incentives have been made public, but that does not mean that they will not develop. Given that Manafort has already been indicted, and Podesta is reportedly a subject of the Mueller investigation, it may be a bit early to draw conclusions on this score.

What can be established, however, is that the typically-negative (sorry, "contrast"ing) message Devine crafted is precisely the opposite of the one he had previously used on behalf of establishment candidates, which regardless of the degree of foreign association if any should say something about the degree to which the Sanders campaign was a cynical exercise in friendly fire against the presumptive nominee and fairly inevitable primary victor.
