How much money has Putin funnelled to the NRA?

I just read this post about the NRA:

And I wonder how much Russian money was given by Putin to the NRA, and to GOP lawmakers in general.

So I looked, and quickly found this reminder:

As American communities continue to be victimized by gun violence — including the mass shooting yesterday, in Parkland, Florida — the National Rifle Association continues to wield immense influence over American legislators, primarily through enormous campaign contributions.
But when it comes to funding, the NRA may have finally gone too far: the FBI recently launched an investigation to determine whether a Russian central banker, and Putin ally, illegally funneled money through the organization to help the Trump campaign.
These allegations have prompted a complaint to the Federal Election Commission and an effort by Sen. Ron Wyden to obtain documents from the Treasury Department and the NRA. As shocking as other Russia-related revelations have been — attempts to hack voting machines, vast Internet propaganda, leaking of stolen campaign information — this allegation illustrates a problem of even broader scope.

So when we read about what the leadership of the NRA is doing, are we reading even more propaganda from Putin?

1. Barr will squash the investigation

2. He is very good at that.

And a very bad AG.
