If we're going to entertain the analogy further, Freedom Caucus is an association of funding targets for "VCs" (PACs and super-PACs) in which Russian investors/state agents are possibly LPs (see: reports of Russian money in the NRA).

LPs typically don't have such a direct influence on the operations of the investments, although certain actual LP arrangements have in recent years.

Of course, the nature of political contributions and influence seems to be vastly more complicated compared to VC.
