If it is discovered that the NRA gave trump millions that originated in Russia, would that

or could that bring the NRA down? What a huge win for us that would be. I'd like to see the end of the NRA by any means possible and was thinking this would be the way..

I'm not sure what would be done to them, since the FEC is pretty toothless. But if they get tangled up in Mueller's investigation all bets are off.

and gave Trump more than they've ever given any other Presidential candidate in the form of dark money donations. This would be a red flag for any prosecutor. I will be shocked if they didn't get any Russian money. Torshin, the guy who facilitated all of this, was the head of a Russian crime family and expert in money laundering.
