Interesting tidbit about Peter Stzrok...
He was the head of the investigation that brought down the Russian spies that spawned "The Americans" TV series.
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow takes down Donald Trump’s war on agent Peter Strzok with shocking tale of his work at the FBI
FBI agent Peter Strzok is scheduled to testify before Congress Thursday morning, so MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow spent Wednesday’s opener revealing the agent’s history and successes stopping Russian spies in the United States.
It all began with the “Boston Conspirators,” a couple that were sent to the United States by Moscow to spy on America.
This didn’t all happen during the Cold War, the FBI watched them for a decade, but the trial was ultimately held in 2010. Their story became the basis for the television show “The Americans.”

No, not at all. I actually read the indictment and the facts of the case. Her leaked correspondence, and the fact she didn't register as a foreign agent, makes it clear to me that she is guilty.

No. I've read nothing to indicate they were complicit or knowingly did anything illegal. I'm all ears though.

Russia-NRA Arrest: This Is as Close as It Gets to Collusion
For all the indictments, arrests, and guilty pleas in the far-flung investigation into Russian influence, none has come close to alleging collusion. Until Maria Butina was nabbed.
It’s the first time the Justice Department has explicitly claimed that a Russian spy working to influence the 2016 campaign had deliberate assistance with her efforts from a U.S. citizen.
*On Monday, the DOJ arrested and charged a Russian national who courted the NRA and the Republican Party with secretly working as a foreign agent.*

No smoke or fire here...
Paul Erickson has a significant public connection to Maria Butina, the founder of a Russian gun rights group called The Right to Bear Arms. Erickson said that met Butina when he and David Keene, a former NRA president, were at a Right to Bear Arms meeting in Moscow a few years ago, McClatchy reported.
In May 2016, Erickson sent an email to President Donald Trump’s campaign advisor, Rick Dearborn, asking Dearborn and then-Sen. Jeff Sessions to help him set up a meeting between Trump and Putin during the annual NRA convention. He wrote: “Putin is deadly serious about building a good relationship with Mr. Trump. He wants to extend an invitation to Mr. Trump to visit him in the Kremlin before the election,” the New York Times reported.
In January, McClatchy DC reported that the FBI was investigating whether Butina’s former boss, Alexander Torshin, funneled money from a Russian bank to the NRA to help Trump’s campaign. It’s illegal to use foreign money to influence federal elections. The sources for McClatchy’s article were all anonymous due to Mueller’s ongoing, confidential investigation. Torshin, a Russian politician, former Russian senator, and deputy governor of the Bank of Russia, has worked closely with NRA leaders in the past. He reportedly met with Donald Trump Jr. at the 2016 NRA Convention, NPR reported, and made repeated attempts to meet Trump at the convention, but there was no evidence that his attempts were successful.

Torshin might be the worst spy ever. He tweeted in Russian:
"Maria Butina is now in the US. She writes to me that D. Trump (a member of the NRA) is really for his cooperation with Russia"
I'm sure he meant that to be a direct message. It's still up here. I'm sure this was a tough case for the Feds to crack.

This is completely incorrect. It has to be "knowingly" according to the Federal Election Campaign Act.
The Act prohibits knowingly soliciting, accepting or receiving contributions or donations from foreign nationals. In this context, "knowingly" means that a person:
- Has actual knowledge that the funds solicited, accepted, or received are from a foreign national;
- Is aware of facts that would lead a reasonable person to believe that the funds solicited, accepted, or received are likely to be from a foreign national; or
- Is aware of facts that would lead a reasonable person to inquire whether the source of the funds solicited, accepted or received is a foreign national.

In short...
Even if the NRA knew nothing about the Russian Attack (They did and participated)
they're still guilty af.
The money they took from the Russians to funnel to the GOP is illegal.
