Rep Smucker, co-sponsor of censure against Schiff, received contributions from Fruman

In light of @RepSmucker co-sponsoring a censure against @RepAdamSchiff, I'd like to ask @FEC chair @EllenLWeintraub to investigate why Smucker's campaign received contributions from Giuliani's buddy Igor Fruman & $21,600 from Ash Wahi.

The Bush family used to be called an octopus for their conflicts and ties.

This is a millipede. Or something.

How many are we up to, now? I'm betting that the list of republicans who DIDN'T take money from these guys is going to be a lot shorter than the ones who did, when it all comes out.
