(I just joined specifically to post to this thread.)

MCCONNELL
1. Why Mitch McConnell is sabotaging Russia investigation–dark money trail leads right to him–Blavatnik??is pals with Putin crony Vekselberg
(Much more to this thread)




McConnell related PAC took $2 Million from Ukrainian businessman linked to oil co in #TrumpRussia dossier#resist



RYAN
GOP super PAC linked to Paul Ryan used illegally hacked material against Democratic House candidates: report
The New York Times reports The Congressional Leadership Fund used info leaked by Russian hackers in campaign ads

A lot of people don't like or trust Louse Mensch, but she seems to have quite a few in-the-know sources, so I'm going to post this anyway with the priviso that it be taken it with a grain of salt, just in case. The article is much longer, but this is the relevant part re Ryan:

GET READY FOR PRES. HATCH
... On Paul Ryan, Speaker of the House, normally third in the line of succession, I can report as fact that sources say that Ryan has been legally intercepted, and is on tape, admitting that he knew Russian money was being laundered into the Republican party. Without co-operation pending resignation Ryan may find himself swept up into a RICO prosecution involving the apparatus of the Republican party who accepted laundered Russian money.

This report is a clarification of what I have previously said I had heard on Twitter; namely that Ryan himself was taped at the Republican convention talking to Sergei Kislyak accepting Russian money into the campaign. Following the unconstitutional dismissal of patriot FBI Director Comey by Sessions and Trump, sources have become more forthcoming. It was, they say, Reince Priebus who was taped talking to Sergei Kislyak and other Russians at the convention, agreeing to accept laundered or disgused Russian contributions, and Speaker Ryan is on a later intercept admitting that he knew of this plot, which places him at risk of a large number of criminal charges. A RICO case is being examined against the GOP itself, sources say.


CHAFFETZ
Louise Mensch again, but others corroborated it:

Sources say there is kompromat on @jasoninthehouse; that this is why he turned and that @fbi know it. #traitorinthehouse
