Mainecat Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 Is this the Collusion we were waiting for? The key sentence is in bold. If the Russians helped the R's take control of Congress, the whole party is implicated. Think about that. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/19/opinion/nra-russia-investigation-trump.html?smid=tw-nytopinion&smtyp=cur Of all the so-called dark money groups involved in the 2016 election, none spent more than the N.R.A. The $30 million it expended to elect Trump was three times more than the N.R.A. spent on Mitt Romney’s behalf in the 2012 election. That $30 million, however, is just what the N.R.A. spent on the presidential race. It also backed other candidates, reportedly spending $55 million overall. The organization helped Republicans cement control of Congress. If it did so with Russia’s assistance, the whole party is implicated. Of course, the citizenry has no way of knowing where any of that money came from. But the F.B.I. almost certainly does. We’re far from understanding what role, if any, the N.R.A. played in helping Russia help Trump. But a scandal that encompasses both the Trump campaign and the right’s most powerful lobby would be bigger than most people imagined before Thursday. “In terms of what the Russians are doing in the United States, it’s far broader than just the Trump campaign,” Schiff told me. “In that sense when people think that the Russian intervention was just about tipping the scales to one of the candidates in 2016, they’re thinking far too narrowly.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
