There is always something more to a Story when it involves President Trump and Russia. This time that “more” involves Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
The Official Announcement Trump’s U.S. Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, who was Trump’s former 2016 Campaign Finance Chairman. Mnuchin lifted Sanctions on Three Russian Companies tied to Russian Oligarch Oleg Deripaska, who is a Close Ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Deripaska was also a Business Partner with Paul Manafort, who was Trump’s 2016 Campaign Chairman. Manafort was Convicted of Bank Fraud and Tax Evasion tied to Russia and also Pleaded Guilty to Conspiracy. It’s a very tangled web they weave.
Now a New Twist. It was discovered that one of Mitch McConnell’s Major Donors, Len Blavatnik, who is Tied to Vladimir Putin and other Russian Oligarchs, Benefited when Trump and McConnell lifted Russian Sanctions.
Blavatnik contributed a Total of $3.5 Million to a PAC associated with Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Blavatnik contributed $1.5 Million to the GOP Senate Leadership Fund PAC in the name of Access Industries and another $1 Million in the name of AI-Altep Holdings during the 2015/2016 Election Season. And as of September 2017, he had contributed another $1 Million this year through AI–Altep.
Blavatnik, whose Family emigrated to the U.S. in the late 1970s, is a longtime Business Associate of Russian Oligarchs Oleg Deripaska and Viktor Vekselberg, both of whom have Ties to Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Along with McConnell, Republican Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) received Hefty Sums from Blavatnik as well.
The point being made is: Mitch McConnell is Benefiting from his Direct and Indirect Ties to Putin and Russian Oligarchs, which most likely guided McConnell’s Recent Vote to Lift Russian Sanctions.
And it would seem he clearly voted in the Interest of himself and his Russian Ties, when McConnell should have been working in the best interest of the American People.
Many have suspected for some time that McConnell was looped into the Russian knot one way or another.
