Just In: The DOJ Office of Public Affairs is reporting that an indictment was unsealed today against two veteran GOP operatives. Jesse Benton and Doug Wead schemed and conspired to solicit and funnel money from a Russian national into the RNC to get a photo/meeting with Trump.

Jesse Benton was Mitch McConnell’s campaign manager, and completely coincidentally, got a pardon from Trump! He’s also married to Ron Paul’s granddaughter.

Doug Wead is a gay-hating Assemblies of God preacher, so he’s probably a closet case.

How nice

It’s probably also worth noting that Russian oligarchs have poured quite a bit of money into Facebook.

Georgia criminal investigators are quietly conducting interviews, collecting documents, and working to build a line of communication with congressional investigators as they aim to build a case against Trump for his attempts to overturn election results. https://t.co/ALv6zMb3yP

I am so sick of our state legislature being held hostage by these Pennsyltucky nut jobs:

Republicans seek Pennsylvania voters’ personal information as they try to review the 2020 results. https://t.co/tksYzBdpMk
