Mitch McConnell linked super PAC took $2.5 million from a pro-Putin Ukrainian businessman last election cycle


******

Both McConnell and Ryan knew

God only knows how wide and deep this corruption goes. Ryan is in a

Paul Ryan & Republican Establishment Used Hacked Info From Russia Against Democrats:

Let's not forget that a super PAC tied to Paul Ryan used material provided by Russia's hacking of the DNC and DCCC.

It was known that Russia had stolen material from the DNC and DCCC and a Paul Ryan Super PAC and as well as other Republican groups used it.

It wasn't just Hillary Clinton being attacked. It wasn't just Trump benefiting. There's potentially more collusion than just that between Trump's team and Russia.
