In reply to the discussion: Barr has ties to Russia [View all]Lonestarblue
(9,958 posts)40. This makes me wonder just how deep Russian connections go in the Republican Party.
I assume all of the Republican leadership in Congress has illicit ties to Putin. Perhaps that conversation when Kevin McCarthy said he believed that Putin was paying two people, Trump and Rohrabacher, has deeper meaning in that Ryan and others all had liaisons with Russia but they werent being paid directly, maybe just through campaign contributions to PACs. And why did Paul Ryan leave at the height of his power and without achieving two of his goals by killing social security and Medicare?

I think the DeVoss organization was the third leg on this connection, if memory is correct.
