The Russia Scandal Takes A Mind-Blowing Turn That Could Destroy The Republican Party
By Sarah Jones
It wasn't Donald Trump alone who had ties to the Russians during the 2016 campaign. It turns out that the Republican National Committee used a firm with ties to Russian intelligence to dig up dirt on Hillary Clinton.
This is truly mind-blowing.
Perhaps youve been wondering how establishment Republicans were so happy ignoring the looming treason scandal of their President. It very well could be because they, too, have something Russian to hide.
So it wasnt Donald Trump alone who had ties to the Russians during the 2016 campaign. It turns out that the Republican National Committee used a firm with ties to Russian intelligence to dig up dirt on Hillary Clinton.
The RNC used former CIA officers firm the Hamilton Trading Group, which has particular expertise in Russia, to dig up dirt on Clinton according to a Politico report.
RNC officials and the president and co-founder of Hamilton Trading Group, an ex-CIA officer named Ben Wickham, insisted the payments, which eventually totaled $41,500, had nothing to do with Russia, Kenneth P. Vogel and Eli Stokols reported.
The RNC claimed the payments were for security.
But RNC officials now acknowledge that most of the cash $34,100 went towards intelligence-style reports that sought to prove conflicts of interest between Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clintons tenure as Secretary of State and her familys foundation.
