>In 2018, a group of Russians were able to donate to Johnson’s bid for the Louisiana seat he eventually won as the money was funneled through the Texas-based American Ethane company.

Journalism is so tough on politicians these days. /s
Nothing to see here. Just Mike Johnson with no bank account and links to Russian allies of Putin with lots of money. American Moses is perfectly clean.
There’s the bribe.
The speaker of the House is a Russian stooge.
I’m sure CSIS and the NSA are fully aware of this already, but all oil and gas companies should be looked at under the microscope during the shift in climate regulations. They are the ones with the most to lose and have a track record of trying to cover up environmental and health hazards.
Mike, I don’t think he’s even Christian.
You usually don’t have to dig down too many layers, in most Republican campaign organizations, before you’ll find a Russian connection.
Amazing thank you OP !
> He is also a part owner of Tula Cartridge Works, which has been supplying ammunition for Russian forces during its invasion of Ukraine.
Johnson is a traitor to USA
Mike Johnson is a traitor.
Sure seems that way but wait… there seems to be a trend amongst politicians these days. At some point Americans will stand up and when it does won’t be pretty.Time to do a public audit of all politicians and see where their money is coming from. I think it will be a serious eye opener.
Gotta make sure Putin’s Republicans don’t run out of rubles.
Sus
Ugh
Sounds like he got himself a bargain. That traitor has been doing putin’s bidding from day one.
There you go. Proof.
Old stinky said before that he sees nothing wrong with that, so it must be legal.
JFC and how is this not an immediate threat to national security? WTF is the country doing, laying back and getting slow screwed by Putin?
Makes you wonder what’s on his laptop…other than the porn he views with his son.
Everywhere you look in the Republican machinery, it’s Russia, Russia, Russia!
[insert indignant Jan Brady here]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Russians have infiltrated out politics with their corrupt moles. Just like in other countries.
He kinda looks like a lesbian
Jail him for using russian assets.
S.A.T. time!
USA spending on Ukraine : Damaging Russia
Russia spending on GOP : Damaging the USA
WWJD? None of this shit.
Did the Russians also give him Russian porn videos to discuss with his son at the family kitchen table after church?
At this stage GOP might as well stand for Get On Putin
Real reason Johnson doesn’t „have“ any bank accounts
As if Trump isn’t already a big enough reason for major campaign finance reform.
I know it wouldn’t eliminate bribes, but for fuck sake it would sure be a start.
I knew it Russia money in our trusted sevants pocket
The Republicans are nothing more than Russian sympathisers. You need only to look at all the carry on over Ukraine. Trump is nothing more than a wannabe PUTIN. If he gets back in watch out, Russia will keep going, China will invade Taiwan, all with Trump’s blessing, cause he wants to be like them.
