      That feels like it’s assuming a level of intention and competence that is absolutely not required of Gaetz or other Freedom Caucus members to do what they do.

      Russian intelligence will take advantage of what they can get, and they’re quite advantageous indeed, but I doubt payment or blackmail is even necessary.

        He said it because we have known for years the GOP takes Russian money. It’s not unthinkable they would give more to certain ppl to get them to sabotage their own caucus.
