    I wonder what his price was…? How much does Russian Stooge pay? Somehow I have a feeling it’ll be disappointingly low.

      It’s not what he’s being paid, it’s the dirt that Putin has on him.

      Remember how both the RNC and DNC were hacked before the 2016 election? The DNC’s info was released by WikiLeaks, hence “but her emails!” We never found out what was on the RNC’s servers, but the GOP sure did make a quick 180 on Trump and Russian talking points around that time.

        Yeah, it’s plausible. They didn’t all pivot on Russia, and that makes sense because there wouldn’t be equal dirt on everyone. Some would be more vulnerable than others. Fits with the Russian playbook too.
