We need to know more about this! GOP Leaders accepted Russian Money!

[UCmeNdc]

GOP leaders accepted Russian money into their election PACs:

McConnell : 2.5 Million
Rubio 1.5 Million
Walker 1.1 Million
Graham 800 Thousand
Kasich 250 Thousand
McCain 200 Thousand

and the list goes on.

and Democratic Party leaders wonder how they are losing?

1. There are two immediate problems with this, from what I see

1 We're (at best) not going to find out the truth about this until Democrats win either the House or Senate back...it is SO vital.

2 If that money came from a US citizen or a Russian with dual US/Russian citizenship, I don't see how you can prove it. Look at Vekselberg last week, where his dual citizen cousin made the payments. You and I know where that money is coming from, but it's an easy get out for the GOP....he's an American citizen.

2. Logical next step is charge the American with election fraud for conveying illegal contributions. nt

3. If it can be shown that they couldn't reasonably have afforded that amount, yes, worth a shot.

11. Put it in news feeds and keep it there.

One thing about Fox is when they want to plant a seed of doubt, they are relentless at running a story, each one of their talkers, 24/7 until the lies is totally, beyond measure disproven, or they get the effect they were shooting for.

4. If any citizenship applications and immigration should be stopped right now it should be

from Russians.

5. WE HAVE GOOD REASON TO INITIATE "Federal Campaign Financing !!!!"

6. Obama saw this coming, a mile away!

From a 2010 Politico article on the SOTU speech he gave-

Obama said...

"Last week, the Supreme Court reversed a century of law to open the floodgates for special interests — including foreign corporations — to spend without limit in our elections," Obama said. "Well I don’t think American elections should be bankrolled by America’s most powerful interests, or worse, by foreign entities. They should be decided by the American people, and that’s why I’m urging Democrats and Republicans to pass a bill that helps to right this wrong."

The shot of the black-robed Supreme Court justices, stone-faced, was priceless.

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) stood up behind the justices and clapped vigorously while Alito shook his head and quietly mouthed his discontent.

9. The entire GOP party is compromised

The November election will determine if democracy survives them. There won't be a second chance I fear.
