Russians! Russians! Russians!
The FBI is investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump win the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter have told McClatchy.
FBI counterintelligence investigators have focused on the activities of Alexander Torshin, the deputy governor of Russias central bank who is known for his close relationships with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and the NRA, the sources said.
So, it’s not just Russians. It’s “everybody we don’t like” rigged the election.

The mere appearance of the words; ‘Russian”, “NRA”, and “Trump” in the same sentence is all they wanted. Seed planted.

“Known for”, huh?

The Bloomberg bots were going nuts on NRA posts on Twitter.

I hear that Trump colluded with 63 million American citizens to win the election.

The dumping of millions of $89 Mosin Nagants into the US has finally paid off for the Russian oligarch pro-gun Trump supporters!

Yeah, I think the “Russians” angle has long played out with most Americans. It’s no longer humorous, to me; just annoying now.
Meanwhile, the biggest political scandal in American history* is coming to light and what is McClatchy covering? Russians!

Those damn Russians ate my homework too, and made me lose my car keys!

I consulted the dictionary and found that collusion is a synonym for conspiracy. “Conspiracy theorists” have always been dismissed, lampooned or even vilified by the mainstream media, but now, most of them have been daily “collusion theorists” for over a year.
I do admit to conspiring and colluding most every day, usually with my wife, other family members or friends.

This is nothing more than a way to take the NRA out of the midterm elections. The Democrats will try to use the Russian Collusion Narrative to taint the NRA just watch and see.

How do you “funnel” money to the NRA? As a private civil rights organization can they not accept whatever funds people are willing to give? I would think that except for maybe their PAC, there are no contribution limits or restrictions to donating to the NRA.
