Precisely. Orrin Hatch filed an amicus brief in the case in September, arguing that the Court should reconsider the dual sovereignty exception, so he's clearly in on the scheme as well. I wonder how much Russian money has made it into the US as dark-money crypto-currency ...

I'm not American so need to know. After Trumps deranged rant about Dr Ford, why are his approval ratings % not in single figures?
It is this low around most of the developed world. Why can so many American people be blind and deaf to this appalling racist, sexist charlatan...

I am an American☹️. Trump’s base is intent on filling the courts with extremely conservative judges, so that they can control laws & rulings. The wealthy want to increase their power & grow their wealth. The rest are energized with fear that their culture will change.

It's not just about conservative judges. Kavanaugh specifically is being pushed thru because of Gamble v. US. The hope is he'll be there to rule & Presidential pardons will be extensible to STATE charges. It's to get away with the Russia conspiracy, money laundering, tax evasion.

You betcha! Either way, it’s an assault on states’ rights, which is something traditional conservatives, like myself, would NEVER support. That’s why they’re being sneaky about it. Orrin Hatch is in on the scheme, too—filed an amicus brief in September.

I would say lots of Russian $ have bought many of the GOP -McConnell, Rubio, Graham, Walker, Kasich, McCain- all took $ from Blavatnik, Putin's proxy & friend to Deripaska. Plz read 👇for confirmation

Thank you for sharing that. It seems to me that a US-based corp with cash could easily donate a large sum to a 501(c)(3) or 501(c)(4) organization (like NRA, although there are lots of obscure ones). The US corp's donation doesn't need to be disclosed. ...
