FBI investigating whether Russian money went to NRA to help Trump
MSN/Washington Tribune ^ | 1-18-2017 | PETER STONE AND GREG GORDON

The FBI is investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump win the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter have told McClatchy.

FBI counterintelligence investigators have focused on the activities of Alexander Torshin, the deputy governor of Russia’s central bank who is known for his close relationships with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and the NRA, the sources said.

It is illegal to use foreign money to influence federal elections.

It’s unclear how long the Torshin inquiry has been ongoing, but the news comes as Justice Department Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s sweeping investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, including whether the Kremlin colluded with Trump’s campaign, has been heating up.

All of the sources spoke on condition of anonymity because Mueller’s investigation is confidential and mostly involves classified information.

Which begs the question. Did the Russians funnel money to left wing organizations in order to help Hillary or Bernie?

“It is illegal to use foreign money to influence federal elections.”

Prince Alaweed said during the DNC Convention that he had ALREADY spent $45 million dollars electing Hillary. Is Mueller investigating that, as well?

Just shows how far down the rabbit hole that the Mueller investigation has gone.

Boy, the left is really getting creative. They get a twofer with this fantasy... they get to take down Trump and the NRA, all with one well-crafted lie.

Goebbels would be proud.

Unless of course, you are paying KGB and Ex-Stasi to write a “Piss Dossier’ for Democrats.

They don’t give up. And how about all the money that Saudi Arabia gave to the Clinton Foundation? between $10 million and $25 million!
It was given so hillary would try to turn this country muzzy and was completely wrong, and hillary needs to go to jail for life.
