There is nothing revealed other than a claim that some Russian guy is a NRA member.

This is just like all the Russian nonsense pushed by the media, not a single piece of evidence to back these claims.
Google him.

There is no evidence that this guy has infiltrated the White House through the NRA, it's complete nonsense.

There is no evidence that the Russians funneled money into the Trump campaign through the NRA.

Reporting that has no facts, or evidence to back it's claims is so unethical. This kind of reporting targets low information, and extreme partisans, because they are the only people who would believes reporting that lacks any factual basis.

Ignorance of who he is certainly is your prerogative.

Is the average Russian even allowed to own a gun?

Sorry, but until something actually bad is revealed, this is a whole bunch of so what.
I have a library card for a UK library. I don't live in the UK. Will I be arrested?
