I can get more.
Do you bother to read your own articles? POSSIBLE investigation, and they are gathering documents and will cooperate. You are taking a "what if" and acting like it's a fact.


RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA

I'll probably be investigated for having Russian dressing on my salad last month. OH MAN, they'll probably arrest me for my history of eating Reuben sandwiches! That's something the PC police should force a rename, or better yet ban them entirely!

Better yet let's have one campaign fund that is equally distributed to valid candidates of all parties with a cap on the amount of the fund. The candidates can spend their share as they please. All of these donations can be from any US corporation or private individual knowing it will be distributed equally rather than given directly to one candidate. All candidates will be required to participate in at least 10 televised debates over the with moderators from various media outlets (to include liberal and conservative ones) and include questions submitted by voters as well as moderators. Let's make 3 of the 10 town halls with questions from voters.
I thought the exact same thing about political donations. Let’s see them investigate them all. They won’t ever do it though.

I like your idea for campaign reform. It’s simple and fair. No wonder congress didn’t think of it when they were doing campaign finance reform.

The DNC was a conduit for Russian money. Your point?

Russia is financing both sides of the gun control debate.
I'm glad that the NRA is at least getting some of it.

It would be laughable if it wasn’t so pathetic.

Unfortunately, we are in a post-truth era where people choose to believe whatever fits their political persuasion. It becomes impossible to govern in an atmosphere like that, because you can’t even agree across the aisle on what’s real, let alone on a policy to deal with it.
CNN quit being a reliable news source the day they started stroking Obama's chicken.

IMHO

CNN, MSNBC, and ABC news all rank much higher on the credibility list, than FOX news...

The current Russia issue aside, one of my biggest complaints about the NRA is that, by affiliating with one political party over another, they have their fingers in a lot of pies that have nothing at all to do with guns.

There are Democrats who own guns. There are Democrats who enjoy target shooting and hunting. There are Democrats who own firearms for home protection. I cannot imagine why any of those Democrats would support the NRA.

I would start watching them if they did. But unfortunately, they're stuck on Dallas soap opera drama 24/7 about pornstars, hookers and golden showers. And having Russian beluga caviar being on Trump's private jets - merits articles of impeachment, Lol. What a joke!
