Judiciary Dems: Kremlin may have used the NRA to help Trump campaign
The Hill ^ | 05/16/18 | Avery Anapol

Posted on 05/16/2018 1:26:24 PM PDT by detective

Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee say they have obtained documents that suggest Russia used the National Rifle Association (NRA) to help President Trump's 2016 campaign.

The Democrats on Wednesday released a document outlining preliminary findings from their investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. It states that the Kremlin may have “used the NRA to secretly fund Mr. Trump’s campaign.”

“The Committee has obtained a number of documents that suggest the Kremlin used the National Rifle Association as a means of accessing and assisting Mr. Trump and his campaign,” the document reads.

The goal is to have the NRA treated the same way as the American Nazi party is in public conversation.

You may be on to something. There was an unmarked van in the parking lot and the driver looked a whole lot like Vladmir Putin.

You know, because, like the NRA leadership and its members totally supported Hillary. But somehow, the diabolical Russians convinced them to support Mr. Trump. You laugh. But no, really!

Pure liberal insanity on full display....

Although this cleared a Senate committee, so apparently the RINOS are all in on it too.

If this were so, it would mean that even the Russians are better defenders of our God-given and constitutionally guaranteed rights to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness than the disgraceful America-hating democrats.

Bullshit.

Absolute bullshit.

And if the Dems really want to go down this path - what socialist groups received foreign funding to overthrow the USA that the DNC has accepted and even laundered (see Obama and the millions of untraced $100 credit card donations)

I’m beginning to think the entire Democrat Party needs to be Baker Acted.

I am certain it was the work of Russians. Now, I just have to prove it.

Did you look for Russian ciggie butts, empty tea cups or half-eaten bowls of borscht?

No, but there WAS a beached Akula which popped up on the lake shoreline.

I HAVE to get this info to John McCain as quickly as possible.

But we’ll ignore the $145 million paid to the Clinton Foundation by the Russians.

“BUT the ketchup dispenser for the fries was EMPTY.
I am certain it was the work of Russians. Now, I just have to prove it.”


Just ask Herr Mueller. His grand jury could indict a ham sandwich so he will slap the empty ketchup dispenser for collusion with the Russian, for sure.

I believe you are correct.

There was a ballcap next to the dispenser which read “Make CCCP Great Again” and a pamphlet written in Cyrillic. I can't read Cyrillic but I believe it said, “How to make Hillary-supporters in the NRA vote for Donald Trump in Fiveski Easyski Steps”.

That's when I became suspicious. Well, that and the Akula.

"Suggest," "May have," etc.

The earmarks of a phony story planted in the media by smear artists.

What will be the next lowest-of-the-low, anti-logical spew from these obviously desperate, anti-American losers? Hahaha. I laugh at their idiocy and lunacy.

Perhaps worth an RKBA-list ping.

So now dems are yapping about how Russia colluded with the NRA to influence the 2016 election. Pretty thin gruel. But the brainwashed sheep lap it up, just like they've been conditioned to do.

"My Fellow Americans" indeed...

I’m sorry. But now the Democrats have descended to complete, total lunacy. This Trump Derangement Syndrome has driven them insane. All because they can’t accept the fact that they lost the election. So they continue to invent more and more outrageous lying BS on how Pres. Trump Cheated to win the election, when they knew the only cheaters were Hillary and themselves. I’m afraid that they will continue their lies and deceit to the point where they will physically assault Conservatives and Trump Supporters because they have become so unhinged. People, watch out, these people are sick, and will harm those who don’t agree with them. Mark my words, this unfortunately may happen.
