Fuck you Paul Ryan and your Trump isn't a good person act.

You God Damn well knew that Trump was dirty w/Russian money in 2016 and
helped to keep it covered up. This modern day Hitler/con man/mentally ill/racist/
sexist/rapist/child rapist/Putin controlled/treasonous/criminal is now in the White
House in no small part thanx to you.

The New Yorker, "Paul Ryan Keeps It All in the Family" May 17, 2017

In the transcript published by the Post, McCarthy speculates that the Russians hacked the Democratic National Committee’s computers and, in the process, discovered whatever opposition-research materials the Democrats had gathered on Trump.

“There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump,” McCarthy said, according to Entous, a superb reporter who heard a tape recording of the colloquy. “Swear to God.”

Dana Rohrabacher is a Republican from California with a peculiar amalgam of views: pro-marijuana, dubious about climate change, pro-torture. For this last position, in 2007, Keith Olbermann awarded him his periodic “Worst Person in the World” award, on his old MSNBC show. Like Trump, Rohrabacher has been highly solicitous of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Last year, Politico ran an article on Rohrabacher called “Putin’s Favorite Congressman.”

In the Post piece, McCarthy’s remark is met with laughter, and Ryan cautions his colleagues, “This is an off the record . . . No leaks! . . . All right?”

... money and election, media, and social media rat fucking operations in 2016 and not only did they say nothing but helped
to keep these attacks on America and our democracies hidden.

In Ohio Rob Portman took in millions in NRA/Russian money in 2016.
