must assure, with verifiable records, that Russian money is not making its way into their coffers.

I am not saying that anyone is seeking their help, but if anything of value from Russians is being used to help them, we must know about it. We need to know so we are sure we are not basing decisions built on Russian help or propaganda.

3. Of course, if we want a level playing field, we'd take Russian money

and hire voting machine hackers, steal absentee ballots (see NC 9th House race 2018) but we don't do that.

You do make a good point, and we should take the high road. I don't disagree with you, but you can bet the Republicans will have Russian backing, all the way. How can we counteract that?

5. That's not how it works. Russians don't make financial donations, they're cyber infiltrators.

6. I think there are ways to determine if Russians are making financial contributions.

If not, then how do we know that the NRA has been bank rolled by them?

7. And they are really good at it

8. i have said before that bernie's system makes it really easy to cloak true donors.

there was some surprise in january, iirc, when his fundraising was stronger than his poll numbers.
i think that put a lot of wind in his sails.
i have been hoping since that someone would do a deep dive on his donors.
