| #10 I suspect this info will be leaked at some point and crowds will surround the larger donors houses or themselves while out at restaurants. Bingo. Plus, they've been running a campaign to smear the NRA all year. The $2500 from Americans in Russia has been part of the propaganda campaign since it was "discovered" -- it somehow means the NRA is controlled by Russians, at least when it's not controlled by gun manufacturers. Mind you, we'll never hear how much cash went to, say, the ACLU from Russian (rather, Soviet) sources... |

| #9 He's trying to damage Republican support structure before the collapse of his investigation. I suspect this info will be leaked at some point and crowds will surround the larger donors houses or themselves while out at restaurants. |

| #5 So that $2500, divided across 23 people, amounts to little more than each of them getting 3-year memberships. Assume they actually had a mix, and it still looks like membership fees from people in Russia with US citizenship. So how much in that stunningly small wad of cash was "funneled" to the Trump campaign? How does that compare to overseas donations made to the Clinton campaign? To, say, a single Hollywood celebrity's structured donations that were clearly intended to get around limits? To the illegal donations made to the Obama campaigns because they had disabled credit card checks on their site? |

| #4 "Russia-linked individuals"..... Easy enough to orchestrate such contributions, then publicize them and call for further investigations. Full IRS disclosure will of course be necessary. What sort of project funding should we budget for? Not more than $2,500, excluding postage and handling. The NRA disclosed in April that it received about $2,500 in contributions from 23 Russia-linked individuals since 2015. McClatchy reported earlier this year that the FBI was looking into whether one of those donors, Alexander Torshin, used the NRA to funnel money to the Trump campaign. |

| #1 The tax filings would reveal the NRA’s “dark money” donors, whose names are hidden on public documents. Hmm - what's wrong with that sentence? |
