Russia bought off Leningrad Lindsey and Moscow Mitch

In case you were wondering why they do Russia's bidding, wonder no more. They both received huge payoffs from Russia according to this article.

"A report by The Intellectualist revealed that Graham has received at least $800,000 in campaign donations from a man with ties to Putin-allied oligarchs. Another report by The Dallas Morning News detailed the donations from Len Blavatnik, 'one of the largest donors to GOP political action committees.'"

"Citing data from the Federal Election Commission, the report revealed that Blavatnik’s Blavatnik pumped $6.35 million into GOP political action committees, with millions of dollars going to top Republican leaders including Sens. Mitch McConnell and Lindsey Graham."

"In 2017, Blavatnik contributed over $800,000 to the Security is Strength PAC, associated with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., via Access Industries."

"Blavatnik and oligarch Viktor Vekselberg own a 20.5% stake in Rusal, oligarch Oleg Deripaska’s aluminum company, which was under U.S. sanctions until Sen. Mitch McConnell, along with President Trump, strong-armed the Senate to remove the sanctions."
