So basically Churkin somehow ended up on a donor mailing list for McCain, and he got chumpmail seeking a contribution. To which he responded with a beatdown of a letter.

It's much ado about nothing, but it looks bad. Couldn't happen to a nicer cuck. John McCuck (D).

Right. A form letter than anyone could have sent. Hence the "bullshite" piece. Do you think anyone with any position in McCain's campaign solicited a donation not from just any old foreign actor (which their counsel would tell them was illegal) but overtly to a highly-ranked Russian serving in a post in the United States?

Probably not. But you asked for the text of the letter.

I'm assuming it was either a prank or some kind of interference. We know the Russians tried to get their dirty little liquored-up fingers in 2008 and 2012 elections as well.

Which didn't go anywhere because obviously whoever saw it (from the government in power that had just run against McCain) realized it was bullshite.

McCain isn't known for his warm relations with the Russians.
