GOP campaigns took $7.35 million from oligarch linked to Russia

[Syskatine]

Old news, let's not forget why the GOP has sold out and what it takes to embrace a foreign enemy:

Party loyalty is often cited as the reason that GOP leaders have not been more outspoken in their criticism of President Donald Trump and his refusal to condemn Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. Yet there may be another reason that top Republicans have not been more vocal in their condemnation. Perhaps it's because they have their own links to the Russian oligarchy that they would prefer go unnoticed.

Donald Trump and the political action committees for Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and John McCain accepted $7.35 million in contributions from a Ukrainian-born oligarch who is the business partner of two of Russian president Vladimir Putin's favorite oligarchs and a Russian government bank.

For $7 million dollars? That’s all it took? That was a 1 day haul for Trump during impeachment hearings.

Democrats take campaign donations from rapist and perverts!

 

[2012Bearcat]

I hate the way we allow our politicians to fund their campaigns but that's the system we have. Hell Democrats give hundreds of millions to PPH and then PPH sends plenty of that same money back to Democrats in the form of political campaign donations.
Heck I read where Omar is facing some of her own questions.

That's what I thought. This is kind of small potatoes.

What are they getting for it? Surely a hard hitting press piece includes proof of wrongdoing.

Republicans protect rapists and perverts!

I couldn't agree more! In memory of Dennis Hastert...

Did you post this to troll yourself?

Everyone in the case agreed he was wrongfully convicted. Read the text.

I know it's a thing to post obsessively 100 times per day trying to score internet points, but maybe at least read what you think is winning you some argument.

@Syskatine Don’t ever stop posting here. Seeing the media pull your strings like a marionette, and Trump driving you mad is priceless entertainment. It’s also very satisfying.

Sure I have a problem with it. Fack the republicans.

I simply apply my standards equally and find some amusement in the crocodile tears of others.

two days ago you wanted us to influence China but today you are disturbed by $7million dollars being distributed to lawmakers that can't move a pencil in a meaningful direction.

Sounds like a great fear. Hold those blankets tight deary.

Help me understand how accepting Russian money frustrates or advances influencing China.

It doesn't

I just think it is hilarious that you want us to interfere with other countries but act shocked that it could work the other way

Enjoy the sand
