53. My theory is that Putin provides gifts in kind rather than cash.

I think that the Russian Federation provided the services of troll farms, propaganda script writers, and graphic artists, and purchased air time and ad buys on behalf of the NRA in order to push the propaganda. But why would Putin give unrestricted cash to the NRA? He's much too greedy to give away money.

So now the NRA has a cash problem.
