Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan Exposed for Taking Millions From Russian Oligarch Tied To Putin: Report

By: Proud Liberal

10 October 2017

Several top Republicans have been exposed for accepting huge donations from one of the world’s richest men, Leonid “Len” Blavatnik. Mr. Blavatnik is a Ukrainian-born businessman who nows owns the Warner Music Group and his portfolio is quite varied. But it was the sale  of Rosneft, which was the largest government controlled oil company in the world that landed Len at the top of the oligarch pile. The Russian oil company was cited in the infamous Russian “pee tape” dossier.

A report by the Democratic Coalition  says political action committees for Donald Trump, Mitch McConnell, Marco Rubio, Scott Walker, Lindsey Graham, John McCain, and John Kasich and John McCain accepted $7.35 million in contributions from Blavatnik. Not only is Len himself closely tied with Putin but he remains close with  many oligarchs close to Putin, particularly Oleg Deripaska. Bill Browder’s recent testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee classified the Russian ruling class a “kleptocracy” — a murderous one.

Per OpenSecrets, Mitch McConnell was the top recipient of Blavatnik’s donations, receiving $2.5 million for his GOP Senate Leadership Fund under the names of two of Blavatnik’s holding companies: Access Industries and AI Altep Holdings.

Are there any Republicans who won’t eventually find themselves on the periphery of the Russia investigation? The more they try to dismiss the investigation as unimportant or a hindrance to “real issues,” the worse they look.

It’s a good time to remember that leaked McCarthy tape, exposed by Washington Postback in May, in which Kevin McCarthy says in June 2016, “There’s two people I think Putin pays: Rohrabacher and Trump.” There was laughter and then House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) immediately interjected, stopping the conversation from further exploring McCarthy’s assertion, and swore the Republicans present to secrecy.” Ryan’s story evolved from it never happened/totally fake news/totally fake tape to admitting the tape was real but assuring the Washington Post it McCarthy was only joking.

Paul Ryan is almost as good at forgetting things happened, decrying reportage as fake, and finally “evolving” memories as Donald Trump Jr.

NOTE:  If you thought that the roaring silence of House and Senate Republicans (save Bob Corker and Jeff Flake) was out of devotion to Donald Trump, you probably have it all wrong.  In Washington, in Congress at least, money speaks much louder than devotion to any party leader even the President.  This may sound cynical but when Congress can be bought off by Big Pharma, Wall Street, Health Insurance Companies, Big Banks and God knows who else, is it such a huge leap of imagination that they could also be bought off by Russian, Putin friendly, oligarchs?  Sure, Republicans want to pass a "Tax Reform" package that gifts the rich and screws the rest of us but given that the Republican House and Senate committees are as much focused on bringing criminal charges against Hillary Clinton as they are in investigating ties between Russia and Trump.  

By the way, Frontline's two part series, "Putin's Revenge" is excellent.  One of its moat valuable benefits is cutting through all the Tweets and chatter that have surrounded Russia's actions in the 2016 election and Trump Team's efforts to distract us from what is the most serious Constitutional crisis since the Civil War.   I recommend it highly!!!

Be Careful!  Extreme Vetting doesn't seem to be working.
