Meanwhile, the FBI is reportedly “investigating if Torshin illegally donated to the NRA to support President Trump’s 2016 campaign.” On his public, verified Twitter account, Torshin has bragged about how his connections to the NRA granted him access to Trump.

.....

Though the NRA initially claimed that, from 2012 to 2018, the group had received just one contribution from one Russian, earlier this month they admitted they had actually gotten 23 donations from individuals with Russian ties — just since 2015.

Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) has repeatedly pressed the NRA for more answers about the money the group may have received from Russian nationals, though the organization has mostly dodged the ongoing congressional inquiries. Instead, more details have gradually emerged about the NRA’s connections to Russia through independent reporting.

3. I fully believe that when the facts come out the NRA has been a modality

of Russian nonlinear warfare for years. It's just too perfect to flood our streets with weapons of war wielded by bigots and gangsters against the stability of the nation. Let's you and him kill each other seems to be the principle.
