Mariia Butina, a Russian national, has been charged with acting as a surreptitious Russian agent and establishing a secret back channel with the GOP through the NRA.
More likely to come on this; no wonder GOP members of HPSCI refused our request to bring her and others in.

(40,227 posts)The GOP on the Intelligence Comittee, Nunes and the others, are involved in something dirty.
Nunes passport needs to be suspended asap.

In fact, maybe it'd be better to let him leave the country and thereby avoid his receiving a Trump Pardon.

That's why Paul Ryan is protecting Nunes.

(2,698 posts)Those few good, decent people who have not supported Trump -- yes, I'm including Joe Scarborough here -- will have to regroup and rename.
GOP is the party of treason -- and that fact was never clearer to me than when the Trumpists on the House Intel committee laid into Peter Strzok. Such an obvious and vicious attempt to deflect.

(2,698 posts)A Russian emails him that he can set up a meeting with Russians who have dirt on Hillary. Don, Jr., emails back "I love it."
So we know he's pretty stupid. That and feeling so entitled. Like the late, unlamented Leona Helmsley once said of taxes, Don Jr. may well be saying about treason: it's only a crime for the little people.
Mueller, I believe, will disabuse him just as the IRS disabused -- and imprisoned -- Leona Helmsley.

(12,221 posts)Not that I like Boehner (and I don't), but maybe he smelled a traitor rat.
Then Ryan took the job; and he was against Trump, but strangely took a turn of support very suddenly.
Things got real creepy after that.
