Reading the Fusion GPS Transcripts now

One thing that jumps out to me while reading this. It may sound like tin foil hat stuff. This reminds me of what Deep Throat told Woodward and Bernstein, "follow the money". It sounds like from the transcript that the Russians have a lot of business dealings in the USA. A lot of Russian oligarchs have parked huge amounts of money here. I think they have used that money to buy republican politicals and that is the reason they are trying to obfuscate the facts. It will come out, I believe, the republican party has been financially infiltrated and is awash with Russian cash. They are scared to death we will find it out.....and we will.

they deserve to go to jail, too. This isn't a party thing, this goes to the soul of our democracy.

(That said, there will be few if any Democrats who took Russian cash. We don't play those games, much.)

52/ In those notes is a reference to a Cypriot holding company to engage in inward investment into Russia, the note "active sponsors of the RNC," Dick Cheney's press secretary, and finally, adoptions. (Tr. 261-264)

53/ But Cypriot holding companies, and "active sponsors of the RNC?" WTAF. There is something so deep and so corrupt here in the @GOP I'm nearly speechless. (Tr. 261-264)
