Louise Mensch: "Mob laundromat" funded gop

https://patribotics.blog/2018/02/25/putins-wikileaks-host-mob-laundromat-funded-gop/

From the cited article:

"
Here we demonstrate, with sources linked to within the text:

Mr. Chayanov is the CEO of Hostkey, the company that provided Wikileaks its servers in Russia in advance of the Podesta emails release;
Mr. Chayanov partnered with Stephen John Kelly, a man who is directly linked to laundering the Russian taxpayers’ money that Sergei Magnitsky discovered, and for which he was murdered by Vladimir Putin;
… and that Chayanov’s company with Kelly, Optimal Telecom, is directly linked to PAC funding pro-Russian Republican candidates in the United States, according to records on the Nevada Secretary of State’s website, including Danny Tarkanian."

Obama predicted this when the Supreme Court decided in favor of the billionaire-funded Cit U organization.


We have to get money out of politics if we want to stop this from happening again.
