Maybe I am wrong about this but I think Vlad/Russia has their hooks into a lot of the GOP.
We have the Moscow 8 who visited Russia on July 4, 2018.
Sens. Richard C. Shelby (Ala.), Steve Daines (Mont.), John Hoeven (N.D.), John Neely Kennedy (La.), Jerry Moran (Kan.), John Thune (S.D.) and Ron Johnson (WI) plus Rep. Kay Granger (Tex.).
Then we have the NRA/Russian money in 2016
I also think I have read that Moscow Mitch got NRA money too along with a multi million dollar aluminum plant
in KY from some Russian oligarch.
And Lindsey Graham sure is nervous about something too.
*******
And as Nancy Pelosi said to Trump, "All roads lead to Russia with you." (rough quote)
Vlad has his boys stirring up that QAnon crap too.

(Reuters) - Russian government-backed social media accounts nurtured the QAnon conspiracy theory in its infancy, earlier than previously reported, according to interviews with current and former Twitter executives and archives of tweets from suspended accounts.

politics and democracy.

In the previous cycle, Joni Ernst was in the top 5 money from the NRA so add her on.
The two who have changed their tunes are probably compromised
Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio.
The reality is that EVERY republican senator took money form the NRA knowing that it was coming from Rusiians that is why they snuck Maria B out of the country so quickly.
The real answer -- all of them.
