Word suggests it's WI-Ron Johnson, but the list of possible suspects seems quite long.

18. There is no constitutional remedy available at this point.

All options, other than the election on November 3rd, are off the table.

I am very frustrated as well.

I intend on writing a strongly worded letter to a.g. william barr, tomorrow. Next day at the latest.


Upshot, we may not be around November 3rd. Tomorrow may never come.

Johnson is still going after Hunter Biden. What a dickweed!

Assuming he isn't convicted of something first.

5. I know what laundering money means.

What does laundering a foreign operation mean.

[bearsfootball516]

6. Maybe he's paying a Russian organization to attack Biden?

But the money going to them appears as something else, so that it’s not noticed?

[Budi]

8. Yup. Money, favors, ....

[Captain Zero]

32. the attacks are coming through servers set up for the Senator??

wild guess

[lastlib]

17. Sounds like Russians are feeding him "misinformation" ...

9. wasn't there a 4th if july or other holiday during which bunch of Republicans

were in Russia.

I don't remember which year it was . But we need a list of the Republicans that were there then.

[Budi]

11. Yes they went to tell Putin not to meddle in US elections. 😅

July 4th 2018.
Since this group, there have several other GOP visits to the Kremlin...
One trip included Tx Rick Perry..
---------------

A group of GOP lawmakers spent July 4 in Moscow after several days of meetings with Russian officials, according to NPR.

The group, which included seven Republican senators and one House member, was the first congressional delegation to visit Russia since the country's annexation of Crimea in 2014.

The GOP lawmakers, Sen. Richard Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Thune (S.D.), John Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.) and John Hoeven (N.D.), and Rep. Kay Granger (R-Texas), spent July 4 in Moscow's U.S. Embassy, NPR reported.

28. Per Natasha Bertrand, it involves Ron Johnson's use of an official "senate investigation"

to smear Biden and influence the election.

https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/07/20/democrats-fbi-briefing-foreign-interference-campaign-373134?__twitter_impression=true

... "Among the Democrats’ concerns is that a Senate investigation being led by Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has become a vehicle for “laundering” a foreign influence campaign to damage Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, according to two people familiar with the demand."...(more)
