When they go to Florida and meet the mortgage brokers and the Steve Carrel character asks "Why are they confessing?" and his team tells him, "They're not confessing....they're bragging."

The GOP as a whole really does believe they are bulletproof on this issue of Russian money and the way it has been used to aid their campaigns across all levels. Putin and the oligarchs of the failed Russian state are using state funds, stolen from the Russian people, to promote US candidates to do their bidding in elevating the Russian regime on the world stage while simultaneously weakening the US, its alliances and the European threat to Russian expansion whenever Vladimir runs low on resources to exploit in Russia.

This is not a wild-eyed, crazy hair flying fantasy any longer, it is reality.
