The two purchases may have looked coincidental; Red Eagle and AMAG appear at first glance to be separate firms. But each is closely connected to a major conservative media-consulting firm called National Media Research, Planning and Placement. In fact, the three outfits are so intertwined that both the NRA’s and the Trump campaign’s ad buys were authorized by the same person: National Media’s chief financial officer, Jon Ferrell.

“This is very strong evidence, if not proof, of illegal coordination,” said Larry Noble, a former general counsel for the Federal Election Commission. “This is the heat of the general election, and the same person is acting as an agent for the NRA and the Trump campaign.”

Much more at the link.

I can't help but think that Butina plea deal and full cooperation is scaring the piss out of these criminals.

1. Rachel reported Trump campaign got $30 mil from the NRA

compared to just $10 mil for Romney in 2012
Now, they're suddenly in deep trouble financially.

It has been alleged other GOP members of congress got a bunch of money from the NRA as well.

Which would explain why the GOP will steadfastly defend Trump on this.

5. Will Butina And This Russian Connection To The NRA....

bring down the NRA or just severely wound it? Will it root out the bad element in the NRA and again become an organization just for gun safety?
