(I was being sarcastic. I already knew it wasn't a hoax)

GOP operative found guilty of funneling Russian money to Donald Trump

A longtime Ron Paul aide helped a Russian businessman get into a Trump fundraiser; Trump later pardoned him for another campaign finance crime.

The Washington Post
@Teri_Kanefield senate republicans also confirmed in their report it wasn’t a hoax… Russia attacked our elections in 2016 with disinformation, conspiracy theories and illegal campaign contributions paid by Russians using American straw men to hide the true identity of the giver.
Dems need to Use this every time gop raises hoax.
