You really have to find the absurd amusing to get through this.

I drank Russian vodka once. And I also voted for Trump.

Coincidence? I think NOT!

[Steely Tom]

Just as an aside, would that be a crime?

[Responsibility2nd]

So what if this is true?

Just like the alleged “Shithole Country” remark - an incident like this would only serve to irritate and agitate Trump’s enemies. And please his base supporters.

Win-Win.

The left is nothing if not inventive (read: completely full of $hit).

More unnamed sources?

I never read unnamed sourced stories unless the brother Grimm wrote them.

[robroys woman]

My upstairs neighbor was Russian. I talked to him a couple of times.

But don’t tell Mueller. I don’t want to have to go under oath about it.

[jazminerose]

I got to the part about ‘classified’ information and tea spewed out my nose.

To the FBI, ‘classified’ means make lots of copies and forward to the NYT.

RE:” FBI investigating whether Russian money went to NRA to help Trump”

#1 : Would that be illegal?
#2 : Looks like they just added Trump's name to a non-Trump story to draw readers

[Responsibility2nd]

Just as an aside, would that be a crime?

Certainly no more of a crime than Hillary’s Uranium One efforts. Why isn’t the FBI looking into that, hmm?

[MayflowerMadam]

This is what desperation looks like. Russian money to NRA. Oy!

[stars & stripes forever]

This is an attempt by the FBI to kill two birds with one stone. LOL

Mueller is running an employment service for anti-Trump attorneys and beraucrats at the expense of the public. There is no oversight or control. He will keep this going indefinitely at any pretext.

FBI investigating whether Russian money went to NRA to help Trump (Seriously?) WITCH HUNT!

[backwoods-engineer]

This is so juicy for the media because they DESPISE the National Rifle Association, and want every ordinary citizen’s guns confiscated. If there is a way to “get” Trump and the NRA simultaneously, they will tell any lie to accomplish it.

This is good for another 6 months of investigations. Trey Gowdy will be all over it. “We must interview all the witnesses.”

[skimbell]

There's all kinds of this stuff going on.

I read a piece yesterday that detailed how some guy had evidence that Planned Parenhood was pouring money derived from the sale of aborted baby parts into Hillarys campaign.

[kkalman]

Since Trump is an advocate of a stronger military, you’d think the Russians would want to help Hillary get elected.

[Doogle]

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

...but it's perfectly OK selling Uranium to Russia for $125 million

[rawcatslyentist]

It is illegal to use foreign money to influence federal elections. Unless you're a communist/democrat.
