Nope. You didn't do any "research". You read some articles, posted about them and that's it.

research:  : studious inquiry or examination; especially : investigation or experimentation aimed at the discovery and interpretation of facts, revision of accepted theories or laws in the light of new facts, or practical application of such new or revised theories or laws

Anybody who has written a thesis for college got a rude awakening when the prof corrects students on the term "research"
We tend to use the word research as much as we do "like"

The whole point was to make the community aware of the news story so we can discuss it, not to quibble over whether she qualifies as a spy.
Bottom line is that I think having LaPierre in a photo with this Russian looks bad for the gun rights community and I think we should know about it.

The NRA isn't going to lose a single member over that photo. It's a nothing-burger.

Nor is the NRA going to gain a single member by "addressing" this non-issue.

Either you support them or you don't. This photo won't have any impact on that.


BTW, did you ever join a gun rights group, either locally, nationally or Russian?  It's been over 3 years, and the last I heard, you were still "researching" to decide which group deserves your magnanimous gift.

It is still good to know about so if nothing else we have an answer when some liberal posts the picture and suggests the NRA is in bed with Russia.

No, I have not joined any gun groups, only spent time and effort with others from 2AHawaii, going to the capital and representing this group at the gun show. Been leaning towards one of the local groups to start with though, but thanks for showing concern 

There's a lot of circumstantial evidence about Russian interference in the election. No smoking gun but just a lot of crumbs laying around and the Russian/NRA photo is another crumb for Mueller to sort through. What bothers me is that all of these crumbs look bad to the 62% of the voters who are not die hard Trump supporters. I mean the supporters where Trump could be standing in Times Square with a smoking gun and they'll still support him because it's part of his overall plan.

Well said.

Funny how the fake news doesn't tell people it was Obama's people who let her into the country on an "expedited" visa. 

So either they knew who she is and still let her in, or were to dumb to know who she is.  (Reference Sam Rothstein from Casino when talking to the commissioners nephew).
