Oops.

Also on her list, Scott "Right Direction" Walker:

    No surprise, considering a prank caller was able to fool Walker into thinking he was David Koch.

    Imagine what Sacha Baron Cohen could do with Walker.

    Lyin' Ryan will likely be shown to have been a part of this also.

    What does anyone want to bet that some of Walker's dark money is not really koch - its money laundering for Russia?

    Remember, the koch fortune came from Joseph Stalin.

      Well, if we want to fight this with honest and accurate info, the NRA has an unlimited pool of crackpots here in the US. They really, if they wanted to, do not need Russian money to bestow on candidates.

      My point above was not about NRA which is distinctly different than Koch money. IMHO the NRA is laundering money from Russia so that it can be given to candidates and appear to be US (you know, patriotic teabaggin' cash).

      And Koch cash? That is actually Russian money too, going way back before Charles and David.
