Did you know McGahn had Russian ties?

I don't think there's ANYBODY without ties to Russia in or anywhere around the White House.


Don McGahn, White House Counsel defended Tom Delay on charges of a Russian Pay . Delay, along with Jack Abramoff, Buckham, and Ney met with Viktor Chernomyrdin, former head of Gazprom in the 1990s.
Mcgahn also happened to start working for Squire Patton Boggs, the lobbyists representing Gazprom in 2013. SPB, he moved on to Jones Day.

Jones Day opened a Moscow office in 2013 after it successfully worked with AlfaBank (MIkhail Fridman) and Renova Group (Viktor Vekselberg) to create an oil producer with BP, called TNK-BP. It has since been bought out by Rosneft. From there, Mcgahn signed on to work for the Trump Presidential Campaign.

I've been wondering for a while how he might be tied in with Trump's treason. I'm curious if there's more to be told.

From campaign donations to corporate success without moral boundaries. We are so screwed.

what a surprise .
I think it would actually be easier and faster to find a GOP/Trump linked person WITHOUT Russian ties.

was "one party rule," or something very close to that. The effort to take down democracy has been in the works for a long time.
