Does this investigation also address how the money was spent? I have heard that the NRA was given assistance on where to spend the funds - notably in states like Michigan, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
Did Citizens United Help Russians Funnel Money To NRA?
Also: Is the Pope Catholic?
"Even Politifact called Obama’s claim “mostly false.”
Those Pinnoccios all had brown noses.
Better question here is; DID RUSSIA HELP PROMOTE CITIZENS UNITED IN THE FIRST PLACE FOR THIS VERY REASON?
Sure fits their pattern. Now we know how long they’ve been cultivating traitorous Republican allies, we need to look back at a whole lot of legislation and see where their fingerprints still linger.
Any old Secretary of State could provide them with that kind of info, and Kobach comes to mind.
Foreign influence by establishing U.S. corporations to funnel money to campaigns was a very publicly predicted and feared consequence of upholding CU back when it was being decided. This should surprise no one.
Think deeper…
DID RUSSIA FUNNEL MONEY INTO PROMOTING CITIZENS UNITED IN THE FIRST PLACE?
FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE?
Looking back now with the evidence we have today, we have to wonder.
Many conservative Catholics are saying no.
…“conservative Catholic” would become an oxymoron, if this pope had his way.
Thank you for explaining how the Supreme Court sided with money launderers to make their lives easier at the expense of the American people’s democratic freedom.
This should be fully investigated, and the results hung around Alito’s conservative catholic neck.
Well, they’ll outlast him, more’s the pity.
Well, if we’re going to look at words, “Catholic” itself is a bit of a self-contradiction.
Russian money funneled through the NRA went to a lot of Republicans in the House and Senate, as well as a number of state races. Did the recipients/beneficiaries of those funds know where they came from? Did they have reasons to know, suspicions at the time? Have they found out since the election? Kompromat explains much of the attempts to protect Trump, shut down Mueller, and rig the findings of the Congressional investigations.
same root as “catharsis”
and “catheter”… but I digress.
Scalia had a heart attack when he realized what he’d done.
Well, isn’t this lovely. I always knew Citizen’s United was an anti-democratic hot mess, but I had no idea the level of foreign influence it allowed. And the NRA doesn’t have deep enough pockets already with all the money they’ve grifted from idiots?
Have I mentioned lately how much I HATE these people?
So if the allegations are wholly true, where are we on the sliding scale?:
Wrist slap <--------------------------> Wayne Lapierre in cuffs, flogged and beaten on live television
I hate the NRA with the fire of a thousand suns and would like to believe this could lead to their demise, but I’m assuming that’s probably not likely. How bad would this be for them?
well I guess that all depends on Mueller and the tRump effort to delegitimize his investigation.
