Here are a few more highlights from other news outlets.

Glenn Simpson, co-founder of the firm behind the infamous dossier on President Donald Trump’s potential connections to Russia, told Congress that he believes the Russian government has “infiltrated” the National Rifle Association.
“It appears the Russians, you know, infiltrated the NRA,” Fusion GPS co-founder Simpson said while testifying before the House Intelligence Committee on Nov. 14. His testimony was part of a federal investigation into potential links between the Kremlin and Trump’s 2016 campaign associates.
“And there is more than one explanation for why,” he added. “But I would say, broadly speaking, it appears that the Russian operation was designed to infiltrate conservative organizations. ... They seem to have made a very concerted effort to get in with the NRA.”
For the anti-Maddow troll that always seems to show up here, I should warn you that yes Rachel moves her hands a lot, she uses big words that may prove confusing, and yes she is still a lesbian.

It should be noted that I visited Fox News yesterday and they are STILL claiming all of this a Democratic hoax designed to undermine the Trump presidency.Simpson, looking at a Kushner project, realized that the EB-5 VISA scam could be a way for foreign intel services to GET SPIES INTO AMERICA DISCREETLY. pic.twitter.com/RkbU2ubOIz— Eric Garland (@ericgarland) January 18, 2018
