Five years ago, Steven Seagal was the face of Russia's weapons industry (2013 news clip).
Now he is "special envoy" to the US.
Then, Dmitry Rogozin was Deputy Prime Minister & part of Moscow dinner party with NRA, Butina, Torshin and Sheriff Clarke, in 2015.

Everything is fine.

In 2002, there is news about attempted lawsuit of Steven Seagal by Julius Nasso, affiliated with Gambino mob.

And, Nasso is friends with Trump.

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher's 2013 congressional trip to Moscow was arranged by....Steven Seagal, instead of US Embassy or State Dept. Rohrabacher said State Dept. was controlling information which he thought wasn't good for democracy.

~Associated Press, June 3, 2013

In 2014, Rohrabacher spoke against support for Ukraine, defended Russia.

Last year, Ukraine banned Steven Seagal--given Russian citizenship by Putin--due to "national security" concerns. US sanctioned Russia re: Crimea.

So...cool envoy to the US.

And, in the way back machine, Atlantic City buddies.
