Kevin McCarthy Is (Donating) the Cash He Took From Rudy Giuliani's Indicted Pals

One of President Trump's biggest defenders in the Ukraine affair took campaign contributions from Ukrainian-Americans working with Rudy Giuliani to dig up dirt on Joe Biden.

'House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said on Thursday that he’d return campaign donations from a pair of Ukrainian-Americans working with Rudy Giuliani to boost President Trump after the two men were arrested for allegedly violating campaign finance laws.

McCarthy (R-Calif.) and the National Republican Congressional Committee, House Republicans’ main campaign organization, received substantial donations from Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, a pair of businessmen who have been working with Giuliani, Trump’s personal lawyer, in his push to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden.'>>>

if they donate or return the money. They should all be kicked out, though. I wonder what tasks the others were given? Sessions was tasked with getting rid of the State dept ambassador to Ukraine.

They all had their fingers in the pie. So far, Pete sessions, McCarthy and the Florida illegitimate Governor Ron de sanctis have admitted having been recipients of money from these guys. We better check Jordan, gaetz, etc... all the batshit crazies .

Why the hell does he get to pick who it goes to and what are the odds it’s not going to be some front that just funnels it back to him or the ЯNC?

The penalty for getting caught is you have to move the money from your right pocket to your left? Wow that’s some deterrent.
