What the 112 nay votes on Ukraine funding tell us [View all]

Que bono - Latin for "who stands to benefit."

If you want to look at who may be in Putin's pocket look no farther. Dark money in Super Pacs can't be traced. But if we could, I'd look at those 112 nay votes and ask....who stands to benefit?

If your rep is a nay, call their office and tell them they are Putin's pawns.
