What's this?

Meanwhile, in the actual Pro-Putin party

It's always projection with the Dems........

"California Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell, one of the many lawmakers who slammed Republicans such as former President Donald Trump for cozying up to Russia, was bankrolled with donations from a high-level lobbyist for a major Russian pipeline.

The congressmen raked in $2,900 last year from Vincent Roberti Sr., who chairs the group Roberti Global. In 2018, Roberti donated $5,400 to Swalwell’s campaign, as reported by The Washington Free Beacon. The lobbying group was sent $2.4 million last year from Nord Stream 2 AG, which is behind the Russian pipeline President Joe Biden announced sanctions against after the country invaded Ukraine. (my words - yeah, after the "Russian asset" first removed sanctions to allow the pipeline to go forward)

Roberti has donated to other top Democrats, including last year to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), The Free Beacon notes. Roberti also funneled money to the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee."
