word to describe this crew. "Corrupt" is more like it. Billy "Low" Barr might find himself deep in the muck and mire before this is over. Face it, the gop has sold this country to Russia, and now they are fighting to keep it from their followers. McCarthy was warned by Paul Ryan to "keep it in the family" and now look where he is. Seems they pattern themselves after a family -- a Russian MAFIA family. Fools who vote gop are either completely stupid, or completely corrupt. Sane, ethical voters go with the honest politicians, and they all seem to be on the democratic side.

Don't forget Wisconsin was one of the three states that put tRump in the White House. IMHO that didn't happen without inside help.

Maria Butina and the NRA.

Of course Trump has the Treasury Dept. change the rules, so NRA (and similar groups) would not be required to disclose their donors.
This happened right after the Butina story drew attention.

aren't getting more attention to their mostly nonexistent primary elections, btw. Perhaps the press will talk about the huge issue of suppression of democratic competition on the right once primary voting starts. It's really all part of the biggest and most critical political happening of our lives.

Ron DeSantis had more meetings with Lev Parnas than originally thought
They met at least six times.

https://floridapolitics.com/archives/311368-ron-desantis-had-more-meetings-with-lev-parnas-than-originally-thought

Gov. Ron DeSantis met with one of the Ukrainian-Americans arrested last month amid allegations of scheming to violate campaign finance laws.

Lev Parnas met with DeSantis at least six times, according to the Orlando Sentinel. That’s more meetings than had previously been reported.

Both Parnas and his business partner, Igor Fruman, had ties to President Donald Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani and were allegedly involved in the pressure campaign to get the Ukrainian government to dig up dirt on former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden.

Parnas reportedly also had several other encounters with DeSantis in addition to the four more formal meetings and he contacted DeSantis’ campaign before he was elected several times.
