The Russian Nationals couldn't vote, but....

they could send reps to the House of Representatives to have a say in things.

I read that somewhere today. Anyone know anything about this?

I'm wondering if those Russian Nationals spread money around to Republicans in the House of Representatives, and/or to those running for Congress in 2016.

That would explain a thing or two, if that happened.

I couldn't find the article about what my post was about. So it's possible (no...LIKELY) that I misunderstood something.
