(5,969 posts)Maybe it is important and will help counter the attacks on Mueller by questioning their motives but I don't really think it's a game changing revelation that donors who gave to Trump also happened to donate to other Repubs and those loyal to Trump.

I'm asking questions. I have no information.
Obstruction of justice can encompass a lot.
I don't know. Just thinking out loud.

If this was true about the Democratic Party, there would be no place in the solar system safe for a democrat to hide, nowhere.

(37,648 posts)They probably donate to Ryan, Turtle, and others. That may be why Hatch is thinking of running again: some money coming his way.

(3,515 posts)Was voter information given to the Russian hackers (assuming there were really Russian hackers)?
Who analyzed and provided the information if any was given to the Russian hackers?
This case could be quite complex. We really don't have enough facts to dismiss any detail as unimportant or to decide that it is important.
We are, however, getting a great view of the fact of the role of money and the potential for corruption due to the role of money in our elections. This is how oligarchies take control. They buy the political mechanisms. And here, we see how wealthy, very wealthy people can buy a politician if they want to. Not saying that happened here, but that may potentially be the story here.
I'd need a lot more facts to be able to judge this situation for sure.
