(51,638 posts)The article said that it make you wonder if they funded the entire Repub party. Well, in this section of the article it mentions two other members of Congress anyway.
Vin Weber and Ed Kutler, lobbyists for the Mercury firm, appear to be just as culpable as Gates and Manafort of violating the Foreign Agents Registration Act. They worked hand in hand with Rohrabacher to transfer payments they received from Manafort, originating with the Party of Regions, to Rohrabacher and two other members of Congress.

tho the threat that they will spend more than that to defeat them if they dont tow the line is prolly part of it. but damn, these guys come cheap.

Mueller is getting ready to lay down some more cards soon, I suspect. And if that article is right, Dana's getting an early invitation to go sit in a box for at least a few years.
Unless the Russians win, here, that is, with Republican help. Unless the nation collapses into anarchy and warlord fiefdoms like the libertarian fantasists dream of.
But I happen to be a patriot. I also happen to believe democracy must be defended.
So fuck these traitors.

(109,000 posts)any illegal actions after the meeting, then those actions would extend the statute of limitations longer. And since Gates lied about the meeting just this month, who knows? Maybe he just re-started the statute of limitations on whatever they were conspiring about . . .
