The Russians took advantage of the Citizens United decision during their attack.

It's fucking unbelievable. They poured money into Trump and Republican Super Pacs during the campaign. No wonder the Republicans are trying to stop the investigation. Mueller is following the money and they are scared to death.

1. Apart from NRA .. Which other PAC got Russian Money?

2. And who wrote Citizens United? Anthony Kennedy - father of Trump's "great guy" at Deutsche Bank

BTW Kennedy also wanted to kill Obamacare outright. Great moderate non-activist judge!!

3. That was my first thought when "Citizens United" came out. It would allow unlimited foreign money to

flow into campaign coffers, all of it untraceable.

No wonder Trump and the Repugs are scared shitless of the Mueller probe. "Follow the money" may lead directly into their campaigns or supporting super-PACs.

5. What makes you think they're scared?

You're probably a progressive liberal democrat, so you have a conscience, empathy, a sense of right and wrong and basic human decency.

That's the frame you're viewing from.

The privileged, entitled, and powerful have been lying and cheating and swindling their entire lives. I think the magnitude of their sociopathy keeps them from being the least bit scared. After all, they're just continuing to get away with their lifetime of lying, cheating, stealing and general dictatorial meanness.

They aren't worried, and why should they be? They have lifetimes of ALWAYS GETTING AWAY WITH IT!

Personally, if I did this, I'd eventually turn myself in because I have an AVERAGE sense of right and wrong.

6. You're right. If I view the situation through my "sociopath glasses" it all make sense.

These lenses remove all sense of morals or empathy, and focus my attention solely only the question, "Is it good for me?"

8. Yes, you need to change your DU screen name to

Entitled Sociopath in PalmSprings.

4. Very believable. ALEC was their Trojan Horse.

7. President Obama saw it from the start. And Alito mocked him for it.

"it's time to put strict limits on the contributions that lobbyists give to candidates for federal office. Last week the Supreme Court reversed a century of law that I believe will open the floodgates for special interests –- including foreign corporations –- to spend without limit in our elections. Well I don't think American elections should be bankrolled by America's most powerful interests, and 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."
