GOP campaigns took $7.35 million from oligarch linked to Russia

During the 2015-2016 election season, Ukrainian-born billionaire Leonard "Len" Blavatnik contributed $6.35 million to leading Republican candidates and incumbent senators. Mitch McConnell was the top recipient of Blavatnik's donations, collecting $2.5 million for his GOP Senate Leadership Fund under the names of two of Blavatnik's holding companies, Access Industries and AI Altep Holdings, according to Federal Election Commission documents and OpenSecrets.org.

Marco Rubio's Conservative Solutions PAC and his Florida First Project received $1.5 million through Blavatnik's two holding companies. Other high dollar recipients of funding from Blavatnik were PACS representing Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker at $1.1 million, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham at $800,000, Ohio Governor John Kasich at $250,000 and Arizona Senator John McCain at $200,000.

Not that he was a Ukrainian pollster himself. ???

Hey, I see one of MY senators. Dr. Bill Cassidy. A total shoe lickin' Trumper.

I looked at Fibrizio's site. It's a polling service. It's not Ukranian. I don't get it.

is effing Cory Gardner - Colorado (R) ... why am I not surprised to see his face on that list! He is in deep trouble for 2020 and knows it so he was one of the republican senators that said last week the senate should vote on the house bill that passed.
