Why doesn't anyone ask Republicans like McConnell, Ryan, Graham, Grassley, Nunes, etc. this:

"Did you take illegal campaign money from any Pro Russian donors?"

They will either lie or fumble with a lame excuse. Whatever their response, get them on the record!

when we all know otherwise. The MSM is allowing this to happen (my, my, what a surprise ). If the Dems had done any of this BS they would've been handed their own heads on a platter. The media is still complicit to a degree! They allowed the moron to get elected by giving him all the coverage and showed empty podiums for over 15 minutes at his Nazi campaign rallies for months. Did they discuss the real issues like Hillary wanted to focus on? NO! Ratings/$$$$$ is what matters to them. The media IS part of the problem too (and not just Fux Ruse either).

Did you take campaign money from any Russians?

If you throw in the word illegal, they will deny it. Since it is illegal to take campaign money from foreigners, it is enough to ask if they took money from them.

They might say no to Russian money and omit Ukrainians who are pro Russian, but you're right about the word illegal.

We will never be able to prove a foreign source so in effect foreign money is legal
