What's hilarious, the only funding they could find that came from Russia was $11,000 worth of Facebook ads that ONLY targeted Ferguson, Mo. and they both promoted Black Lives Matter and criticized Black Lives Matter.

Len Blavatnik and how much did he donate to McConnell?

Blavatnik emigrated to the United States with his family in the late 1970s and returned to Russia in the late ’80s as the Soviet Union began to collapse. His U.S.-based holding companies — Access Industries Inc. and AI-Altep Holdings Inc. — are conduits for his largest political contributions, according to Federal Election Commission records.

In 2015-16, Blavatnik’s contributions went to GOP PACs and top Republican leaders, including McConnell, according to FEC records.

In that cycle, his companies contributed over $6.3 million, with $2.5 million going to McConnell’s Senate Leadership Fund. In 2017, Blavatnik donated another $1 million to the committee, records show, bringing the total to $3.5 million.

And then there is this:
