Ex-Manafort Associate Is Tied to Russian Mobsters

"SNIP...........


The Department of Justice has identified a former business associate of ex-Trump campaign manager Paul Manafort as an “upper-echelon associate of Russian organized crime,” NBC News reports.

“The declaration came in a 115-page filing as part of the government’s case against Dmytro Firtash, a Ukrainian oligarch who was once involved in a failed multimillion-dollar deal to buy New York’s Drake Hotel with Manafort, and an important player in the Ukrainian political party for which Manafort worked.”

For every single person who Trump knows that has Russia criminal connections....

It'd be much easier to list who in his circle/administration/GOP who IS NOT in bed with the Russian mafia.
