Russian hackers targeted 2016 Montana election, state official says pbs.org/newshour/natio…
Montana Sen Daines, meeting w/a man accused of money laundering, Tymoshenko calls him "Putin's puppet."

"Kevin McCarthy (R-CA), Ed Royce (R-CA), Robert Pittenger (R-NC), and Sen Steve Daines (R-MT) each met w/Deputy MP Serhiy Rybalka, a member of the Radical Party in Ukraine..."
Montana, like others, has a RU shell co problem:

"Similarly lax regulations exist in Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming. These states compete for clients, so there has been a race to the bottom in states wanting to require even less than the others in order to form a shell company"
Remember when Steve Daines went to Russia during OUR national holiday: 🙄🤨

Gianforte: "has financial ties to a number of Russian companies that have been sanctioned by the US...

Greg Gianforte...owns just under $250K in shares in two index funds that are invested in the Russian economy to match its overall performance." 🤨
"the Montana tech mogul owns almost $150k worth of shares in and $92.4K in [two ETFs] . Both are indexed to the RUSSIAN equities market and have significant holdings in cos such as GAZPROM & ROSNEFT that came under US sanctions in the aftermath of the RU invasion of the Crimea"

"Much of the recent growth has occurred in areas such as the Permian region in western TX and eastern NM, the Federal Offshore Gulf of MX, and the Bakken region in ND and MT," it added. 🎯

"The United States has "likely" surpassed Russia and Saudi Arabia to become the world's largest producer of crude oil, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) says."

Montana (along with others above) is helping us do that. 🧐
