Последние новости Рашагейта крутятся вокруг принципа "follow the money".

1. Опубликованы показания Гленна Симпсона комиссии по разведке Палаты представителей:

Немного короче, чем показания в юридической комиссии Сената, но читается интересней. Симпсон дает подсказки о том, что можно расследовать по части связей Трампа с мафией и отмыванием денег.

Интересный момент про Фаража и Ассанжа.

"Were you able to find any factual links between the Mercers and Assange or Wikileaks or Farage?" Schiff asked.
Simpson pointed to Farage's trips to New York, and said he had been told, but had not confirmed, that "Nigel Farage had additional trips to the Ecuadoran Embassy...and that he provided data to Julian Assange."
"What kind of data?" Schiff asked.
"A thumb drive," Simpson replied.

2. Симпсон упомянул про инфильтрацию NRA: "It appears the Russians, you know, infiltrated the NRA. And there is more than one explanation for why. But I would say broadly speaking, it appears that the Russian operation was designed to infiltrate conservative organizations."

На днях как раз появилось сообщение о том, что ФБР расследует возможный поток денег через Торшина в NRA на поддержку избирательной кампании Трампа.

The FBI is investigating whether a top Russian banker with ties to the Kremlin illegally funneled money to the National Rifle Association to help Donald Trump win the presidency, two sources familiar with the matter have told McClatchy.
FBI counterintelligence investigators have focused on the activities of Alexander Torshin, the deputy governor of Russia’s central bank who is known for his close relationships with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and the NRA, the sources said.
It is illegal to use foreign money to influence federal elections.
