Worth noting: Veselnitskaya is in Russia, so this is unlikely to go anywhere. And we've known for well over a year that she has close Kremlin ties. She has even described herself as an "informant" for Russia's chief prosecutor. https://t.co/WsHsCDLyjR

Russians, everywhere
Russians, Russians everywhere isn’t our only problem. Or even our biggest problem.
“If you vote against this bill,” said Republican, Senator of Colorado, Cory Gardner from the floor of the Senate yesterday, “you will be helping the anti-Semites.”
The bill he was referring to was the “Strengthening America’s Security in the Middle East Act”, or the “Anti-Boycott Israel Bill” which makes it a criminal offense for any American to support the boycott against Israel.
Webster defines a “Semite” as a “Member of any of various ancient and modern people originating in southwestern Asia, including Arabs and Hebrews.”
Anyone who harbors an irrational hatred of either Arabs or Jews is an “anti-Semite” right Senator Gardner? (You know the whole thing about Abrahams son’s Isaac and Ishmael.)
Are you just playing the Holocaust card simply to score cheap political points in order to fill up your campaign coffers for your re-election run in 2020, Senator Gardner?
You must be an anti-semantic right Cory?
Maybe we should worry less about Russia, and more about what Republicans like Cory Gardner and the Israelis are up in trying to limit our Constitutional right to association and our freedom of speech.
After all money is speech.
