This is interesting, the Russians funneling money to the Trump campaign through the NRA.


Very creative.

Washington (CNN)The FBI is looking into whether a Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump secure the presidency, according to a new report from McClatchy.

Two sources familiar with the matter told the outlet that the FBI is investigating the activities of Aleksander Torshin, the deputy governor of Russia's central bank.

Oh my God, this story is ridiculous.

The desperation is getting insane.

CNN is really working on retaining it's title as the biggest fake news network.

From the article.


The story also says it is unclear what evidence, if any, the FBI has of payments facilitated by Torshin to the NRA or whether the group transferred any funds.

CNN has not independently verified McClatchy's report.



In other words, we have absolute no evidence that any of this ever happened, but what the heck, we'll report it.

Hmm...maybe. But remember, the NRA has a TON of money. I was amazed at how much income they have. Over 400 million last year!

Another FISA investigation. Another reason why a lot of companies on K Street in DC are filing for Foreign Agent status.

Oh, I see. Unnamed sources say blah, blah, blah.................. and now we have "Fish On"

Certainly Not News strikes again with a completely made up BS story that liberals will get all wet and excited about and will end up being nothing. But that won't stop the left from quoting the fiction as if it were fact.

Even the Mercer families Cambridge Analytics has signed up for Foreign Agent status. All because Mueller is following the money.

No not from CNN, they just reported the story. It came from a reporter for McClatchy.

The FBI....the KGB in the Cold War were less damaging to the US than Obama's FBI.
