presidency. the nra is obviously democratic senator ron widen released a letter where the nra claims that the sum total of foreign money from russian addresses was $2512.85. that is a lot less than say $30 million. right. so first of all, if russia funneled money to the nra, they didn t do it in an open way. they are not stupid. they have been doing intelligence operations with their security service and so forth. do they have a theory of how it was done? well, the nra accepts dark money now. remember the citizen united ruling. so if money came to the nra, one could presume that it might be in the name of an llc, limited liability corporation. with an american address and american papers. very difficult to pierce what is behind those.
