Senate repugicans say they'll support aid for Ukraine ... as long as the Koch brothers get some too

No shame:
.
    A Senate package of aid and sanctions in response to the Ukrainian crisis is being held up by a demand from repugicans to include a provision targeting a pending Obama administration rule to crack down on tax exemptions claimed by political nonprofits.
.
    Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, the top repugican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, cited the issue involving 501(c)4 groups as one of the outstanding issues left on the Ukraine bill. He signaled that adding the provision could be a way to get the repugican cabal on board with the legislation, especially because it includes changes to the International Monetary Fund opposed by some congressional repugicans.
