It reminds me of Big Tobacco in so many ways.

In the old days we would have been carpet-bombed with ads. PR, and spun news across all major media.  *IF* we are now even modestly sensitive to fake news and social manipulation, I wonder if they adjust their game plan?

The National Rifle Association acknowledged that it accepts foreign donations but says it does not use them for election work — even as federal investigators look into the role the NRA might have played in Russia's attack on the 2016 election.

In business & family matters, I use what I call 'transference' to analyze the situation --usually a request for money.  EX: An adult family member who smokes will ask for help with rent. While still smoking.  You're not helping with rent, you're buying cigarettes.  Same goes for NRA's accounting departmentalization.
