Trump's Pick for New FBI Head Worked for Law Firm Representing Russian Interests

Yeah, pretty much par for the course.

"Donald Trump's new FBI director pick has Russian ties of his own"

"The most troubling issue that Wray may face is the fact that his law firm — King & Spalding — represents Rosneft and Gazprom, two of Russia’s largest state-controlled oil companies.

"Rosneft was prominently mentioned in the now infamous 35-page dossier prepared by former British MI6 agent Christopher Steele. The dossier claims that the CEO of Rosneft, Igor Sechin, offered candidate Donald Trump, through Trump’s campaign manager Carter Page, a 19% stake in the company in exchange for lifting U.S. sanctions on Russia. The dossier claims that the offer was made in July while Page was in Moscow.

"Rosneft is also the company that had a $500 billion oil drilling joint-venture with Exxon in 2012, when Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was Exxon’s CEO. However, the deal was nixed by President Obama in 2014, when he imposed the sanctions that crippled Russia’s ability to do business with U.S. companies. The lifting of sanctions by the Trump administration would enable Exxon to renew its joint venture agreement with Rosneft, and the law firm of King & Spalding could end up in the middle of the contract negotiations between those two companies."​

 

Yet another circumstantial case of trump colluding with Russia. If it was just one or two instances, the connections between trump and Russia could be written off as circumstantial, but that isn't the case here. trump has repeatedly catered to Russian interests ...from hiring Page, Manfort, Flynn and Stone to encouraging Russia to spy on Clinton to easing sanctions on Russia to attempting to dismiss any Russian involvement in our elections and his campaign.... all of it points to collusion, and that is more than circumstantial, as it's a pattern of repeated interactions that are definitely pro-Russian.

 

Don't forget that Trump is inviting Russian diplomats back to this country after Obama made them leave when their election interference came to light.
