McConnell's PAC got millions from a Russian oligarch. Ryan got a ton of cash, and so did other GOP candidates. Ryan is recorded twice talking to Kislyak about receiving Russian money for laundering. He was all in. If you wonder why the GOP leadership is so complicit about Trumpy and his dealings with Russia, it's because they all knew about the money and took a load of it themselves. Now they're shitting cantalopes waiting for Mueller to indict them.
