(58,785 posts)that Trump was surrounded by Russian agents and much else. Information is power, and the Koch alliance alone has probably close to 1000 right-wing centimillionaires and billionaires, believed in 2015 to be more powerful in right-wing politics than the Republican Party.
The Kochs certainly knew that Pence was THEIR man and were waiting for an appropriate time to decide whether they would run him for president.
They also knew that hired hands like Manafort don't choose American presidents, or their very likely successors.
What I'd love to know is did they through Pence (and ?) involve themselves indirectly or directly with Russia's subversive activities in America? And are they too powerful to take on? So far they're far too powerful for the MSM to take on.
