The men and women who serve within the FBI take an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States, against all enemies, foreign and domestic. They serve our country the same as our men and women in the military do. And many within the FBI put their lives on the line in service to this country. To watch Trump, Barr, and other republicans, trying to tear down the premier agency tasked with defending America from foreign and domestic threats is reprehensible, jaw-dropping and appalling. What's worse, is that they are doing it for the sole purpose of trying to save Trump, a morally bankrupt, unpatriotic, undeserving con-man and criminal. This....is simply unforgivable.

In December 2015, the convicted Russian spy, Maria Butina’s Russian gun-rights organization sponsored an NRA delegation to Moscow where attendees met with influential Russian officials ( aka, Russian spies) including former deputy prime minister Dmitry Rogozin who had been under U.S. sanctions since 2014.
Alexander Torshin — a Russian politician and longtime associate of Butina who has since come under U.S. sanctions — played a key role in the trip, and Russia’s decade-long operation of infiltrating American conservative groups. A conservative Nashville lawyer named G. Kline Preston IV who has done business in Russia claims that he first introduced David Keene to Torshin in 2011 while Keene was NRA president. Keene and Torshin quickly forged an alliance based on mutual interests..
In 2013, Keene was introduced as an honored guest at the Right to Bear Arms conference in Moscow. Paul Erickson, who became Butina’s asset, accompanied Keene to the 2013 conference, where he reportedly first crossed paths with Butina.
Senate intelligence and finance committees have requested documents on the NRA’s connections to Russia, including documents related to whether the NRA took Russian money and the 2015 delegation. After spending a record $54.4 million to put Trump in the White House and support Republicans in Congress, the NRA’s membership dues dropped precipitously the following year.
The NRA’s lawyers initially lied about the Russian money, they eventually admitted to receiving “a total of approximately $2,512.85 from people associated Russian addresses” and “about $525” from two Russian nationals living in the United States in a letter to Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.). The NRA also acknowledged “membership dues” from Alexander Torshin, who has been a non-voting life member of the NRA since 2012 — the year after he first connected with Keene. Butina's partner, GOP operative Paul Erickson, has lawyered up in light of reports that he too may be targeted by federal prosecutors as a covert Russian agent. Signs that Butina has reached a plea deal follows a September filing by federal prosecutors indicating that Butina offered to provide information to the the feds about Erickson’s illegal activities.
While Parnas helped Nunes arrange meetings, he also assisted Rudy in smearing Ukraine Ambassador Yovanovitch, who was fired by Trump because he believed she was interfering with his criminal scheme. Last month, the SDNY charged Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman with illegally moving money from foreign donors to American political campaigns, all of which were republican campaigns. Hmmmm😞
What's done in the dark will eventually come to the light.
The names of all the Republicans who have been bought and paid for with Russian money will eventually be revealed to the American people. Moscow Mitch's name will surely be at the top of that list.
