".....Glenn Simpson, the co-founder of research firm Fusion GPS, alluded to Torshin and the NRA during his closed-door testimony before the House intelligence committee in November.
"It appears the Russians, you know, infiltrated the NRA. And there is more than one explanation for why," Simpson told lawmakers. "But I would say broadly speaking, it appears that the Russian operation was designed to infiltrate conservative organizations. And they targeted various conservative organizations, religious and otherwise, and they seem to have made a very concerted effort to get in with the NRA."

@ Barb.... Some time back, we were all trying to discuss voter fraud and we were told that if it happens, "it is so insignificant that it wouldn't matter." Trump gets elected and everyone and their mother is investigating voter fraud. Why is that/ Would they have done that if Hillary won? I'll contend that there has been many attempts by foreign governments to infiltrate our election process in the past, just as we have with foreign elections. I think both sides are guilty of more than just trying to affect voting, but maybe it all starts there. I'm pretty sure that if Hillary won, there would be no investigations.
This place is all but done, eh?

All but done? Probably, because nobody can actually discuss things anymore; all they want to do is put down what they don't agree with.
As you say, it's all pretty pitiful and neither side is better than the other.
How do we know the Russians weren't working, both, for and against both candidates???

All but done? Nah I figure you wait about 3 months and you can change the name to NPR's Headline Extravaganza.
I think its time to get over the fact that Trump was elected. As pitiful as it all is, its time to move along with life and get this behind us as swiftly as possible so we can move forward as a people.

Comes? Comey? I'm already numb when it comes to politicians and all of the BS that surrounds almost every single political discussion. Partisan politics is a crock. If your person is in office, you jump behind them and stay on board no matter what. If the opposition is in office, regardless of what happens, you hate them and try to destroy them. it's pitiful and neither side is better than the other.
Watch out he will get mad and wish death on you for disturbing his little liberal echo chamber safe space he has going on here.
