Nice family ya got there, @RandPaul: Longtime GOP operative (Jesse Benton) charged with funneling Russian national’s money to Trump, RNC #RussianRand politi.co/3AuFvkW via @politico
@RandPaul @politico "In pardoning Benton and another associate, Trump indicated that the move had the support of @RandPaul and former FEC Chair Lee Goodman."

They project their CRIMES onto Dems, of course. #StopTheSteal
Jesse Benton was caught soliciting donations from Russia AND China:
"...10/26/16, after receiving the credit card auth from
BENTON, the consultant working for Political Comttee B & Political Commttee C emailed
BENTON..."Is this one to be credited towards [Foreign Nat'l 1] or Doug?" BENTON responded "[Foreign Nat'l 1]...."

"...10/31/16, JESSE BENTON paid his personal credit card with
funds from the bank account for Company A that received the $100,000 wired from Foreign
National 1 [Russian]. BENTON retained $75,000 of Foreign National l's money."

Nice family, @RandPaul!

The photo op was so important to the Russian based in VIENNA, that he paid Jesse Benton $100K for it. Benton pockets 75K.

(Para 42)

"9/21/16, JESSE BENTON made hotel reservations for WEAD,
Foreign National 1 [Vienna-based Russian] and Foreign National 2 [Ukrainian] in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for 9/22/16"

(Para 43)

justice.gov/opa/press-rele…
"...9/22/16, WEAD, Foreign National 1 [Vienna-based Russian], and Foreign National
2 attended the Political Committee C fundraising event in Philadelphia, PA. WEAD took
a photograph of Foreign National 1 and Political Candidate 1..."

9/22/16: Donald Trump Stops For Cheesesteaks in Philadelphia, PA

All of the Trump Administration's Ties to Russia

esquire.com/news-politics/…
Foreign National 2 was a Ukrainian living outside US who acted as a translator for ROY DOUGLAS WEAD (Benton's co-conspirator).

(Para 12).

Ukrainian facilitated comms between WEAD and the Russian who gave Benton the $100K in exchange for photo w/ Trump

If the media doesn’t ask @RandPaul and @LeaderMcConnell to comment re Jesse Benton’s indictment for taking a Vienna-based Russian’s money for the RNC & Trump, they’re failing at their jobs, miserably. He’s Paul’s family member + was Mitch’s campaign mgr, FFS. Get on it, rapido!👏🏼
@RandPaul @LeaderMcConnell I mean come on, all the Russian shit birds know about Rand!

@RandPaul @LeaderMcConnell If the media doesn't expose what Rand Paul's relative and Mitch McConnell's former campaign mgr keeps doing - taking in foreign cash on their behalves - they will keep doing it.

They will keep getting away with it. @MSNBC @CNN @CBS @business

The crazy thing is, a Republican I know thought AOC is Muslim & he’s terrified of her. A fully-grown man. These people are brain washed. I told him she’s a Catholic - like him - and he couldn’t believe it. We have to talk to these people and break them out of their bubbles.
Of course it doesn’t matter if AOC was a Muslim, at all. I told him I’m more concerned about Christofascist white supremacist domestic terrorists in America, not American Muslims.

Apparently, not a lot of people know that *Larry Elder was Stephen Miller’s mentor.* You’re disgusted by what Baby Goebbels did in the White House? That is what he’d bring to CA if Elder slips through to the Governor’s mansion. RT far and wide. latimes.com/opinion/story/…
Just what we need during a pandemic: a racist talk radio host as governor. 🙄

Interesting to learn that Turkey was responsible for the security at the airport.
Litmus test: he wants the intelligence failures to be investigated (I’m good with that), does he also want the intelligence failures of Jan 6th investigated? If not, @MSNBC should have never given him a platform.
I am seeing videos of people who allegedly robbed Afghans, who ID’d themselves as Taliban, and it turns out they were not, per local people on the ground. I didn’t RT because there is no way to verify the validity of those claims...
