Soros, Clinton-Linked Teneo & Saudi Arabia Among Donors to McCain Institute

Click here: Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain used nearly $9 million in unspent funds from his failed 2008 presidential campaign to create a new foundation bearing his name, the McCain Institute for International Leadership. The McCain Institute for International Leadership has accepted contributions of as much as $100,000 from billionaire liberal activist-funder George Soros and from Teneo, a for-profit company co-founded by Doug Band, former President Bill Clinton’s “bag man.” Teneo has long helped enrich Clinton through lucrative speaking and business deals. And Bloomberg reports in 2016 on a $1 million Saudi Arabian donation to the institute, a contribution the McCain group has refused to explain publicly.

Democrats push leaders to talk less about Russia

Click here: Frustrated Democrats looking to reverse their election misfortunes have a resounding message for party leaders: Shut up about Russia. Rank-and-file Democrats say the Russia-Trump narrative is simply a non-issue with district voters, who are much more worried about bread-and-butter economic concerns like jobs, wages and the cost of education and healthcare.
