Party loyalty is often cited as the reason that GOP leaders have not been more outspoken in their criticism of President Donald Trump and his refusal to condemn Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election. Yet there may be another reason that top Republicans have not been more vocal in their condemnation. Perhaps it's because they have their own links to the Russian oligarchy that they would prefer go unnoticed.

Donald Trump and the political action committees for Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John Kasich and John McCain accepted $7.35 million in contributions from a Ukrainian-born oligarch who is the business partner of two of Russian president Vladimir Putin's favorite oligarchs and a Russian government bank.

During the 2015-2016 election season, Ukrainian-born billionaire Leonid "Len" Blavatnik contributed $6.35 million to leading Republican candidates and incumbent senators. Mitch McConnell was the top recipient of Blavatnik's donations, collecting $2.5 million for his GOP Senate Leadership Fund under the names of two of Blavatnik's holding companies, Access Industries and AI Altep Holdings, according to Federal Election Commission documents and OpenSecrets.org.

Marco Rubio's Conservative Solutions PAC and his Florida First Project received $1.5 million through Blavatnik's two holding companies. Other high dollar recipients of funding from Blavatnik were PACS representing Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker at $1.1 million, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham at $800,000, Ohio Governor John Kasich at $250,000 and Arizona Senator John McCain at $200,000.

Russia owns the GOP. Traitors all.

Bwuhahaha...

This coming from supporters of a criminal who helped the Russians acquire 20% of the US supply of uranium, whose husband was giving speeches for the KGB, whose campaign manager accepted thousands of shares of Russian stock yet never reported it and whose company's board members were 1/3 made up of Russian businessmen connected to Putin, and whose campaign managers brother worked for the KGB bank and the Russian spy agency that hacked the Democratic party's emails...

They want to investigate the Russians and look into collusion as long as we avoid all the collusion between Democrats and the Russians...

Russia owns the GOP. Traitors all.

no it doesn't. calling it tangled web or a matter instead of an investigation , still insn't the same as evidence. the dallas star gazette reporting on russia is pretty funny though.

This isn't news. It's not pretending to be news. It's an opinion depending on liberal idiots to think it's news.
