Monday evening brought a new twist in that it was later discovered that one of Mitch McConnells major donors, Len Blavatnik, who is tied to Vladimir Putin and other Russian oligarchs, benefited when Trump and McConnell lifted Russian sanctions on Sunday.
An earlier Dallas News piece titled, How Putin oligarchs funneled millions into GOP campaigns. is one of the best pieces youll read on the subject.

Does anyone recall his last election was very close.
I still believe Russia/GOP/NRA were able to alter votes in close election areas. McConnell's placement was 100% necessary.
After that, they had to make sure to steal specific areas to give Trump the points. They knew popular vote wasn't possible.
I really hope we see a McConnell connection in the major media soon.
