So I guess it wasn't a hoax.

GOP operative Jesse Benton found guilty of funneling Russian money to Donald Trump's campaign.

(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.

@Teri_Kanefield and what, if anything will be done? Benton apparently funneled the money to TFG, who then accepted it. Is he not liable? (And also, glad I found you here!)

@Glenmorangi Not if he didn't know, and that would proabably be hard to show.

But don't worry. Trump has enough criminal liability to worry about.

@Teri_Kanefield @Glenmorangi I believe we will get him, but he’s spent his life being that one greased pig no one could hold onto, so it makes some people nervous.
