It boggles my mind that elections in the US are still so obscure and totally not transparent.
Not that people won't find ways of donating illegally wherever there are laws for transparency, but at least it provides society with something to act upon.
Quoting myself from another thread:
The alleged launderer is a dude named Torshin.
Torshin is the guy who desperately wanted to meet DJT at a NRA gathering and was 'coincidentally' seated next to Junior instead. Looks promising.

If this is true then it's not an exaggeration to say that Citizens United is a national security liability
I'm sure there will be a statement made about this from the NRA via their fear mongering spokeswoman.
Fuck...I would be so happy. If citizens united also somehow took Russian money. If the GOP somehow had direct evidence of them taking money from Russia!
If this investigation somehow took out the NRA as well...
Please lord.

We could potentially be in the best timeline if a lot of the Mueller tea leaves come true.
It's the NRA. They are already insanely rotten. Them getting Russian money would be the least surprising thing ever.

Yeah lots of interesting stuff in that article. They mention that Kushner declined to meet him which is fishy.
Here is the NYT article that's somewhat related to this from Dec

The Right sold out hard. In waiting on Putin to annex Alabama any day now.
LOL "what new dance moves are The Blacks doing these days?". Man, people don't know how to interact with us normally.If this investigation somehow took out the NRA as well...
It was a black dude teaching her dance moves, lol. No need to take it from zero to sixty. Just a silly gif to celebrate the impending doom of the NRA.
You can thank Citizens United and the SCOTUS decision for this dark money in all our campaign elections.
Obama should have attended a mosh pit to connect with young white voters.
.. O_O
It's now just a popular move kids are doing all the time these days. A friend of mine who is a 4th grade teacher told me that it's some sort of meme / game thing now where you have to do that move to the other person before they react to "win" or something at recess time. It's all the rage now with her group.
The Russian money trail should be investigated no matter the destination - they're practically guaranteed to be circumventions of the Magnitsky Act and thus actionable. We had a thread about the fuckery surrounding Russian embassy payments, probably the tip of a dark money ice berg.
Of course, you'd need a US government interested in national security over Russian interests to actually do that.

I want to see where all funding came from, for everyone, every local elections down the road.
I dont care what party they are in, or who they are, if they took money from foreign entities, then prison and asset forfeiture should be there punishments.
oh godIf this investigation somehow took out the NRA as well...
That's the only way to do it. More than likely the influence operation targeted campaigns across the political spectrum. In Western Europe the Russians tend to stay on the political fringes with their clandestine activities but in countries like Ukraine they've gone all out.
If your goal is to weaken a country, you don't care for ideology... Only chaos and leverage matter.
It really is quite alarming. My state's governor got 4.5 million dollars from... nobody knows. It's all hidden behind non-profits. You have super PACs giving to non-profits to help hide it even more. Suddenly everything is getting contracted to out of state contractors without letting in state ones bid. Not at all suspicious!
NRA getting taken down would be like America winning the lottery. Amazing, but slim-as-hell chances. Still, I can dream.
All Russia had to do to win the cold war was bribe our traitors? Even some of them are doing this willingly. Not that Russia is some always and forever threat, but our relationship should be one that swings both ways.
I can not understand how Republicans are now pro Russian. This country was nearly founded on the hate of ruskies...(not founded, but you get the point) this just boggles my mind. Our military is propped up on the ZOMG Russian threat.. so many decisions we do it the world are.
I wonder if Putin laughs at how easy it's been to destabilize the United states and get his wish of weakening nato/un. Or if it's been some huge detailed long con. Not just waving money at Americans.
