1. Wow! The Russian's were spraying money everywhere. Sounds like they

knew how to rig the system.

[Wounded Bear]

4. Yeah, well, it's always been bad...

Since Citizens United, it's been exponentially worse.

[mitch96]

9. "NRA admits accepting money from 23 Russia-Linked donors"

Rig is right... Donate to the NRA who spreads it around to pro russian republicans...

[BigmanPigman]

2. I bet the actual number is higher than that.

[dchill]

7. Well, they ADMIT to 23, so...

Ya know.

[CentralMass]

30. The dollar amount mentioned in the article is $2500. I'm guessing there is another dark money set

of numbers that dwarfs that figure.

[Wounded Bear]

3. No wonder they've been so quiet lately...

Taking time to get their story straight, I guess.

Is this the silver bullet that takes them down? I hope so.

[Mr.Bill]

10. It would be a far better country

if Trump, the GOP and the NRA all went down.

[FakeNoose]

24. +1000

Mr.Bill, great minds think alike! I've been known to post the very same words from time to time.

5. Comrade LaPierre needs to do some explaining.

[procon]

6. What was their old spiel about guns and Patriotism, the USA and flags?

Now they'll have to add new lines for Patriotic Putin and Russia the Beautiful.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

22. The NRA has never specified exactly WHICH flags they support.

[enough]

8. They must be glad they will no longer have to report the identities of their donors. NT

11. Not that it changes anything, but the Newsweek story was from April 11th, 2018. n/t

12. Justice Alito is seen shaking his head

No, not true.

[Dustlawyer]

16. +1!!!

Being an attorney it really hurt me to see justice Alito “perform” for the cameras to try and defend this horrible “activist” (to put it mildly) decision. He is not stupid, he knew what he did and what would happen to our Democracy because of it. I want to know why he would breach his oath in that decision. Was it partisanship or something else?

13. National Russian Association

With apologies to anyone of Russian descent.

[kairos12]

17. Very good!

25. Spaziba!

[jmowreader]

35. There's a better breakout

National RICO Association.

[sandensea]

37. RICO:

Russians In Cheeto's Office.

And look! There's Ms. Red sparrow herself.

[jmowreader]

38. I prefer the original meaning

Sorry guys, but your president is a mobster.

[sandensea]

39. I hear you.

Cheeto isn't capable of taking a piss that isn't racketeering influenced.

[Marcuse]

14. This is not the smoking gun re $30M to GOP by NRA.

The money totaled $2,500, with most of it coming from subscriptions or membership dues, according to the letter, which was released Wednesday and first reported on by NPR. About $525 of that money came from "two individuals who made contributions to the NRA," wrote John Frazer, the general counsel for the gun rights group.

15. National Russian Association

[Blue_true]

18. A decoy. The NRA claims Russians gave it $2500. They are almost certainly lying.

The Mueller people, I hope, are following the real money trail.

[welivetotreadonkings]

19. Who would have thought the NRA was capable of being so corrupt?

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

20. So the real number is what, 46, 69....? nt

[oasis]

21. Lock every last one of the bastard jackssses up.

[Pepsidog]

23. Hope it's a lot more cause $2,500 not gonna get anyone excited.

[Beartracks]

26. It would get them excited if it had been Planed Parenthood. n/t

[Pepsidog]

31. Good point

[vlyons]

27. Looking forward to learning how many rubles

the Rep Natl Committee (RNC) took in. They got NRA money, didn't they? Now you know why McConnell and Ryan weren't
overly-exercised about Russian election interference.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

29. Can you say

Money laundering front?

33. Fuck Citizen's United.

I hate that shit.

[Stuart G]

34. Taking money from Russia Linked donors...will not sit well with "some" NRA members..

Some, who understand the show, will leave the theater...When I say some it may be 10 percent ..a little more, maybe less...

But less members will not look good. This is a major disclosure...NRA was "supposed to be a "patriotic" organization.....What do you know!!!! Taking money from the Putin...

...................What do you know.........................................................

36. When we take power again, we have work to do

First thing we do, we expel every Russian from this country. Just expelling the diplomatic missions won’t do it; illicits aren’t accredited.

Second, we file a RICO suit naming the Trump Organization, the RNC, all 50 state Republican operating committees, and the NRA. Seizing and selling their assets will go a ways toward undoing the damage Trump caused.

And finally, we try the entire Trump administration for treason and stand them up against the wall....with the executions on live TV.
