2016 Directly after a MTG W/ Ukr. Amb. House majority Leader McCarthy said "I think Putin pays Trump

"In an exchange first reported by the Washington Post, McCarthy said: “There’s …there’s two people, I think, Putin pays: [California Representative Dana] Rohrabacher and Trump … [laughter] … swear to God.”

According to the transcript, speaker Paul Ryan immediately responded: “This is an off-the-record … [laughter] … NO LEAKS … [laughter] … alright?!”

Now six years later, former Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan is on the Board of Directors at Fox which is blatantly obvious now delivering Putin's propaganda through Tucker Carlson, Hannity, and other "shows" depicted daily by the channel.

How can we get this elevated in light of the revelation that this was just after the meeting with the Ukrainian ambassador? Exactly what was discussed during that meeting with the Ukrainian Ambassador that lead to the discussion about who Putin pays?

"Tulsi Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii and 2020 presidential dark horse candidate, has long perplexed U.S. officials and observers with her seemingly inexplicable pro-Russian positions. And a new development this week is sure to reinforce the half-jokes that Gabbard is a “Russian asset”; as it turns out, her campaign took money from one.

That agent—dual Russian-American national Elena Branson, also known as Elena Chernykh—stands accused of illegally pushing pro-Russia policies in the United States for nearly a decade, at the direction of top Kremlin officials, without registering under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), according to a criminal complaint federal prosecutors filed this week in the Southern District of New York."
