They didn't just pay trump, they paid a lot of them...

It doesn't cost much in campaign donations to buy a politician, especially a House republican.

Could be as cheap as 5-10k for both primary leaders.

If they take it and win, Russia now has blackmail on them.

That's practically nothing to another country.

Don’t forget when both Democratic and Republican parties servers were hacked back in 2015. Things were leaked from the Democrats, but nothing came out on the Republicans. Nice to have that info hanging over their heads…
