Yeah the "whataboutism" and "patriotism" is in YOUR post.Manafort was Podesta's partner, both were guilty, yet Manafort was the only one charged....not to mention that in an attempt to torpedo Trump the Democrats had to go back decades to dig up a crime against Manafort. Pathetic.Indoctrinated?Funny, you sound so "concerned, about our "country", when it's a democrat.One of the nonprofit groups managed by a for-profit consulting firm called Arabella Advisors, Sixteen Thirty donated more than $63 million to super PACs backing Democrats or opposing Republicans in 2020, including the pro-Biden groups Priorities USA Action and Unite the Country and the scandal-plagued anti-Trump group Lincoln Project, according to Federal Election Commission filings.
Another nonprofit managed by Arabella, the New Venture Fund, which is set up under a section of the tax code barring it from partisan political spending, received more than $27.6 million from the Wyss Foundation from 2016 through 2019.
Tax filings by the Sixteen Thirty Fund and New Venture Fund do not indicate how they spent the funds from Mr. Wyss’s groups, nor do tax filings submitted by the Sacramento-based Fund for a Better Future, which passes money from donors to groups that push to shape the political process in a way that helps Democrats. The Fund for a Better Future has received the majority of its funding — nearly $45.2 million between the spring of 2016 and the spring of 2020 — from the Berger Action Fund.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund, New Venture Fund and Fund for a Better Future did not answer questions about how they spent funds from Mr. Wyss’s organizations, except to say that the money did not go to partisan campaign efforts.
Sixteen Thirty and New Venture have helped create and fund dozens of groups, including some that worked to block Mr. Trump’s nominees and push progressive appointments by Mr. Biden.
Among the groups under the umbrella of Sixteen Thirty and New Venture is the Hub Project, which was started by Mr. Wyss’s philanthropic network in 2015 as a sort of incubator for groups backing Democrats and their causes, as first reported by The Times. It created more than a dozen groups with anodyne-sounding names that planned to spend $30 million attacking Republican congressional candidates before the 2018 election.
In response to questions about donations being passed through to other organizations, Mr. Floyd said in a statement that the board of the Berger Action Fund has begun in recent years placing “a greater emphasis on supporting other nonprofit organizations or grant-making organizations, like the Sixteen Thirty Fund, that help identify, support and grow promising public interest projects.”
Several officials from the Hub Project were hired by the Biden administration, including Rosemary Enobakhare, a former Environmental Protection Agency official in the Obama administration who returned to the agency under Mr. Biden; Maju Varghese as director of the White House Military Office; and Janelle Jones as chief economist for the Labor Department.
Molly McUsic — the president of the Wyss Foundation and the Berger Action Fund, and a former board member of the Fund for a Better Future and the Sixteen Thirty Fund — was a member of the Biden transition team that reviewed Interior Department policies and personnel.
Wow.
Aren't RWNJ's so glad they got the SC to pass into the Citizen's United law?
Not so much, when "others" use it.
Why don't you care that the Dems are being bought by foreign nationals? That should cross all party lines, but I guess you just don't care about this country.

Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, associates of Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani, were arrested on Thursday and charged with trying to aid Ukrainian and Russian foreign nationals by secretly directing $325,000 to a pro-Trump super PAC. And they are only the latest in a string of moneymen and women connected to Trump — including possible Middle Eastern donors to Trump’s inaugural committee, Mar-a-Lago neighbor Cindy Yang, GOP fundraiser Elliott Broidy and imprisoned former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort — who have come under scrutiny since 2016 over funneling foreign money into American politics.

'Funny, you sound so "concerned, about our "country", when it's a democrat.'
Spoken like a true indoctrinated partisan. The fact that any party / politician is taking hundreds of millions of dollars from some socialist foreigner intent on 'fundamentally changing' the United States, seeking to change it into a 1-party 3rd-world nation should cause great concern to any true American.
The Trump cult defended Rudy, Parnas, Furman and Manafort.
So why were Trump and Giuliani so eager to dump the ambassador? Here’s what Yovanovitch said during her Oct. 11 testimony to House investigators: “Individuals who have been named in the press as contacts of Mr. Giuliani may well have believed that their personal financial ambitions were stymied by our anti-corruption policy in Ukraine.”
They then trashed her.
Give everyone a break.
Democrats are only pissed at Giuliani because he and his digging into the Biden family financial scams - specifically Ukraine - resulted in the revelation of Hunter working for a notorious criminal Ukrainian energy company owner who had ties to Putin. From there Biden was exposed by the State Department for known conflicts of Interest with Burisma and having perjured himself by claiming he had never met with anyone from Burisma (nice picture of Joe, Hunter, and 2 other Burisma board members playing golf together.)
And thank you for the giant 'Whattabout-ism' attempted distraction, a tell-tale sign the person throwing it out KNOWS how guilty the person they are defending is.
RWNJ's and the Trump cult have such short memories, the hypocrisy is blatant.
Do I claim they must've been railroaded?
Their innocent?
Corrupt FBI?
THEN, YOU distract from that to Hunter.
"And thank you for the giant 'Whattabout-ism' attempted distraction, a tell-tale sign the person throwing it out KNOWS how guilty the person they are defending is".
So true.
