Trump’s Longtime Lawyer Is Defending Russia’s Biggest Bank




Marc E. Kasowitz, who has represented Donald Trump for more than 15 years, was recently named a lead attorney in a federal civil lawsuit against Sberbank, which is majority-owned by the Russian government.

One of President Donald Trump’s personal attorneys was just named a lead attorney to defend Russia’s largest state-run bank against claims that it helped a granite-mining company raid and kill off its main competitor in the Russian market.

Marc E. Kasowitz is representing OJSC Sberbank of Russia, which is accused in US federal court of conspiring with granite company executives — including Russia’s former minister of economy and trade — in what the plaintiffs say amounts to a “textbook case of Russian corporate raiding.”

this should be accepted behavior for a communist country turning into an oligarchy.

I think we will all be really surprised when China figures out what it as a government wants to do in relation to being the king of the world.

Hell, the conservative movement has decimated the United States to the point where we've gone from the democratic beacon of the world to a pile of horseshit in the middle of the road where we all have to kiss the wealthys' asses.
