Why Did Lindsey Graham Take $800,000 In Contributions From A Russian Billionaire?
Does Lindsey have kompromat against him?
From this post: What in the hell happened to Lindsey Graham? How did he go from a rare voice of reason to an attack dog for the Trump administration? Well, we know the GOP took in a boat load of rubbles from a Putin-linked oligarch. From this reporting: During the 2015-2016 election season, Ukrainian-born billionaire Leonard "Len" Blavatnik contributed $6.35 million to leading Republican candidates and incumbent senators. Mitch McConnell was the top recipient of Blavatnik's donations, collecting $2.5 million for his GOP Senate Leadership Fund under the names of two of Blavatnik's holding companies, Access Industries and AI Altep Holdings, according to Federal Election Commission documents and OpenSecrets.org. And we know that Graham’s email account was also hacked. An authoritarian expert, Sarah Kendzior (look her up on Twitter @sarahkendzior - she's brilliant), even suggested that Lindsey Graham is a compromised Russian asset after the hack. We don’t know what exactly was in those emails, but it’s safe to say it must have been pretty juicy to make the South Carolina senator go from anti-Trumper to one of the most staunch defenders of the president.
