1. When they say Russian donations were legal

Whack them over the head with a 2x4 and tell them that was completely legal, too. That tends to get the truth through their exceedingly thick skulls a lot more easily than facts.

Sorry. I'm being bad, I know. I'm just sick of their excuses.

2. And, that includes several congresscritters, as well, right?

We don't want to leave them out in the cold. They'll want to be with their friends.

4. You're correct.

Good to let them know WE have compassion!!

3. Citizen's united: The SCOTUS owns this debacle. Impeach them all!

8. + a million.

5. A. a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value..

That means money, rubles AND bitcoin.

Ha!

6. More than that. It also means "in kind" and non-monetary donations.

By that I mean goods and services that are not money of any sort. Millions of dollars of google and facebook targeted ads bought on the behalf of the campaign are also not legal. Especially if they were coordinated with the campaign or directed by the campaign.

That is probably the grey area that will get them.

7. Wow! Yes. I've wondered why Trump tweets so often. Is it a payback for

Twitter opening its doors to RU trolls & bots?
Trump tweets everything, his entire Presidency is in tweets, and that increases twitter traffic by A LOT.

Trump Pacs probably own stock in Twitter & that's why he tweets everything.
$$$$$$$$

Wouldn't surprise me at all.

9. It looks like the Supreme Court ruling on Citizens United violates

that law.
