As much as I hate McCain, this sounds like a Russian ambassador got signed up for a campaign bulk mail newsletter.



Maybe more than that, but you are right...it does appear to be unimportant and fairly routine.

So threre is only the letter tge Russians sent in response, not the original from McCain?



No, his letter exists. It's really a standard campaign solicitation.

So what the Russians actually got was a blind mailer?
Yeah, this happens in every single campaign and nobody cares. I recall Trump got flak because some Scottish MPs ended up on his blind mailing list.

We finally have proof of Russian involvement in our election

















We can still have fun with it even if it is nothing.

McCain should release a statement, just to make sure.

McCain offered the Russians a chance to use any major credit card to donate $5,000 or even more. To be fair, McCain’s letter reads much like a normal campaign fundraising letter seeking contributions and likely would have gone unnoticed except that Churkin was compelled to release an official statement from the Russian government rebuking the request...


That letter is the political equivalent of Adam Sandler saying "NO I WILL NOT MAKE OUT WITH YOU" to the girl in Billy Madison.

The John McCain Russian saga keeps getting more bizarre. Sen. John McCain as a presidential candidate in 2008 directly and illegally propositioned Vitaly Churkin, the Russian ambassador to the United Nations, to donate to the McCain/Sarah Palin GOP ticket, according to documents released by Wikileaks.

That looks like a generic political contribution form letter. Not sure there is anything to see here.

Pretty sure we already sussed that out. I don't even know why Gumbo brings some of this weak propagandist shite here.


Do you think we should let Jon McCain respond to this in stead of you going full deflection-mode for him? Defend anyone that is anti-Trump, is that it?

Can you imagine the liberal outrage if such a letter existed with Trump's name on it rather than McCain's.

Pretty sure Navytiger's reaction to that scenario would be a 180 from his reaction here.

I never tire of hypocrisy being laid bare for all to see.

frick McCain. If the Dems had run a moderate, instead of Barry or Hillary in 2008, I'd have given them serious consideration
