Seen that a few hours ago...
This I find most interesting. If she turns evidence, we might have a clue as to how much money for favor is and has been going on AND how exactly that art is preformed.
This would give us a chance to change the rules to prevent it in the future.

I'm fairly sure this is not a isolated indecent. It seems they had a roadmap to work from being that the same method has been used in the past, but with different players.

But, there is also a chance that they don't need her testimony, just need to find/follow her paper trail. And that leads to the NRA +?

I have argued since 'citizens united' case that this exact thing is possible and no way to detect it. Foreign entities pushing money through non-profit entities in the states. No way to detect any of it.
This surely is not the only time it has happened.
