2. Wow, that's massive money.

How could anyone "compete" with that??

4. It's the business of party leaders to know what is going

on in their party and anything affecting it, and their information sources, individually and as a group, are very broad and sophisticated. Ryan and O'Connell had to know a lot about the Russians, Rumps, Mercers, Kochs, CamAnalytica, and on and on and on. Their party's platform was subverted by Putin.

Do any of them have actual involvement? I'd think McConnell was smart enough to stay well cut out. Nevertheless, for just one consideration, how about that money that flowed from Russia into the U.S. to influence the electoral process? Were any of them involved in how at least some of it was invested?

5. Okay, has anyone looked for/found links between the Mercers and the Kremln?
