She's been charged, she's agreed to them and flipped on Drumpf and NRA and Repugs. What could be bad about that? Even Faux isn't ignoring her anymore and have moved to their 2ndary position of just completely lying about the facts about her and the rest.

or lied or cheated or been some damn greedy.

NRA-KGOP republican traitors against America deserve justice: charge them, try them, convict them, and the lock them up.

Who were the bad actors?

Which Republicans knew that their NRA donations were backed by Russia?

How did Republicans that received Russian/NRA money vote in regards to investigation, protecting Mueller, implementing Trump judges, etc.

Still...so much we have left to learn.

They didn't have to know. If you can charge one conspirator, you can charge them ALL with the SAME CRIME, even if they didn't have specific knowledge.

A RICO indictment IS the ballgame...the GOP will NEVER recover from that.

Now we know why we can’t get any common sense gun control passed. The Russians, through Butina and the NRA have been on a mission to arm civilians and destabilise the US. Mass shootings = fear and chaos..Vlad's favorite flavors.

Gun safety was job one back in the days. Gun safety was hammered in to my brain so much, it stood me in good order when the Army taught me the same stuff, only not as well.

Put a fork in it.

That's what happens when you choose the Wrong Side, as in linking yourself to a bunch of money-laundering mobsters, and then thinking you're smarter than your own country's (and her Allies') Intelligence Community.

Sad!

Not really.

They have the best lawyers. They're not hiring Klayman or Trump's original shysters, they hire real DC firms that will insulate them.

They didn't know it was Rooshin $. If they did know, it was legal. If they knew and it wasn't legal, some underling did it. Etc.

The fucked-up Tax Code makes all this shit possible, and IRS enforcement has been rendered toothless.

Between the connection with the ruskys and the death spiral of the gun industry pitiful sales their power is diminished.
