For people who demand Democrats work with republicans.

1. RNC and Priebus are the purest form of scum.

2. I would hope the DNC does the same. Nt

11. Have you ever heard of the DNC hiring "ex" KGB officers working for a firm

with extensive connections in Russia?

[NCTraveler]

12. No. I'm not familiar with all of the company's the DNC has done business with. Nt

[pnwmom]

13. If Dems had paid a Russian-related security firm, I'm sure that would have been reported. nt

[NCTraveler]

14. I'm not.

"Russian related"

[pnwmom]

15. They scour each other's FEC reports. If the Dems had ever paid this company or one

with similar connections, the R's would have found out and would have made an issue of it.

The person doing the work was a "former" KGB agent and the company was known for its extensive Russian connections.

16. I doubt it with the stansdard being applied here. nt.

3. They Just Made Most of It Up Like Always

That's what their ratfuckers are for.

4. KICK!

5. How is that different from the opposition research done by basically every political campaign

regardless of party?

[pnwmom]

9. Let's see. The work was done by an "ex" KGB agent named Gennady Vasilenko,

and the firm is known for doing work in Russia.

Does that sound like every political campaign you've known?

6. I would assume we do the same thing.

[pnwmom]

10. No, we don't generally pay "former" KGB agents with extensive contacts in Russia

to do oppo research.

[Lucinda]

7. While gathering oppo info is common, I doubt it usually has such close Russian ties when Dems do it.

Seems like some aren't reading the article...or aren't bothered by yet another Russian connection to the RNC.

8. To those responding with don't we do the same thing?

Let me get this out of the way...

Ok.

Do we use Russian spies? Come on, now.

[Wounded Bear]

17. OK, so Dems don't hire Russian spies...

but it was research like this that turned up the 35 page dossier on Trump as oppo research.

18. Ex-Russian spies are much nastier then ex-British spies. nt
