It has been obvious for a good many years that Putin and/or Trump have been blackmailing and bribing a lot of people in DC. It took a long time to set all this into motion and the Russians with their KGB history are extremely good at what they do. They know how to play the long game. The Russian Mafia is terrifying and they are everywhere worldwide.

I think we all figured out that was what was going on with Lindsey Graham for the last ten years. He couldn't be any more obvious.
