unsubstantiated testimony by glenn vinson, who happens to be the co-founder of fusion gps who happened to fund the salacious and uncorroborated dossier on trump. so it comes full circle here. another example of certain members of the media running with a speculative story that is not based on fact. what we know is that the fbi actually hasn t said to the extent to which there have been money transferred between russia and nra. like you said, the nra has had no contact with the fbi. furthermore, mcclatchey reported one of the attorneys for the nra saying she was concerned about russian ties with the nra. the attorney said she never said that. reached out to mcclatchey about it. he ran with the story anyway. this is par for the course for fake news unfortunately. jon: also that attorney hadn t worked for the nra for
