Not any surprise, just confirmation.

[ealgeone]

Would love the see the listing of favs by the chi-coms and the ruskies today!

[wac3rd]

They hate America. It’s always been clear. They need a cell at Leavenworth.

[Army Air Corps]

Not any surprise, just confirmation.

Indeed. Ted went so far as to attempt to solicit Soviet assistance to politically defeat Reagan.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Are you not being too soft?

[jazusamo]

Yep, I’d venture to say it’s a much longer list than this.

[Verginius Rufus]

Sen. Edward Brooke, the first black man elected to the US Senate by popular vote, was a guest of honor at Hillary’s graduation. In her speech as valedictorian she attacked him (for not being far enough to the left).

Now, the next step in the process is to check the KGB archives that were declassified after the Cold War...see how many of these pols were actually Russian agents. Might also be interesting to see if any of them were recorded during the Verona intercepts.

[mrmeyer]

Yep. That's why the "Lion of the Senate" will be just another piece of sh*t to me.

They should have awarded him "Hero of the Soviet Union."

[armydawg505]

Have we found their CPUSA membership cards yet? Remember too that these were the leading voices of opposition to the Vietnam War. Ba$tards.

[Robert A Cook PE]

No surprises there.

Today: Every democrat would be on the list those funded from the communist parties abroad and inside.
Plus how many TV and press corpse members in Obola’s ABCNBCBS?

Bump

[tanknetter]

Not much of a surprise, but it could point the way to additional investigations into areas of coordination if not collusion.

For instance Mondale was pulling all sorts of crap to shut down the Moon program in the wake of the Apollo 1 fire.

And, as an aside, Fulbright was Bill Clinton’s political mentor, wasn’t he?

[jazusamo]

I read that Clinton has said that and believe it.

That's a misleading headline. The linked report gives an overall number of contacts between the Soviets and Senators, Representatives, and staff. The report then lists the congresscritters with the MOST meetings. This does not make them the Russians' "favorites." There are many reasons the Russians might strike up a continuing relationship with a Senator, for example; the simplest is that the Senator might have held a position of influence on some issue of interest, and be willing to engage somewhat sympathetically. That doesn't make the Senator a tool; it makes him a soft touch, or a useful idiot.

To cut to the chase, while there is an obvious left tilt to the list, I can think of any number of Senators and Representatives during that period who were further left than most of those listed. Bella Abzug, Alan Cranston, and Ron Dellums come to mind, and I am sure others will access old (mental) files and add to that list. For the really suspect cases, the Russians might well have minimized contact, or gone to extreme lengths to deal indirectly, in order to avoid additional scrutiny to some folks who may well have been very conscious collaborators.

There sure are a lot of presidential and vice-presidential candidates on that list.

One of them was, a vice president.

Plus how many TV and press corpse members in Obola’s ABCNBCBS?

I'd guess somewhere north of 90%.

[wastoute]

There was talk years ago Fullbright may have been BJ’s father...

[cherry]

and he was a republican.....
