How Putin's proxies helped funnel millions into GOP campaigns

Both an awesome and disturbing story. Very informative.

As Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team probes deeper into potential collusion between Trump officials and representatives of the Russian government, investigators are taking a closer look at political contributions made by U.S. citizens with close ties to Russia.

Buried in the campaign finance reports available to the public are some troubling connections between a group of wealthy donors with ties to Russia and their political contributions to President Donald Trump and a number of top Republican leaders. And thanks to changes in campaign finance laws, the political contributions are legal. We have allowed our campaign finance laws to become a strategic threat to our country.

fyi:
"Historically, the Morning News has tilted conservative, mirroring Texas? drift to the Republican Party.[9] However, on September 7, 2016 it endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, the first time it had endorsed a Democrat for president since Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1940.[10] This came a day after it ran a scathing editorial declaring Republican candidate Donald Trump "not qualified to serve as president." It was the first time that the paper had refused to endorse a Republican since 1964" Wiki

1. Oh shit! I hoped that

Mueller would nail McConnell and Ryan (Nunes, Rohrabacher, etc would be indicted too). But if accepting dirty Russian money is legal, that idea goes out the window.
