Elliott Broidy is arguably the swampiest Trump swamp creature, in a swamp filled with avaricious swamp monsters peddling foreign influence ops for hire (big bucks) with the goal of shaping US policy to benefit foreign governments.

Broidy had pleaded guilty in 2009 to giving nearly $1M in illegal gifts to NYS officials to help land a $250 million investment from the state’s pension fund.

George Nader whose patrons included MbZ & MbS, partnered with Broidy.
To the princes, whose countries are closely allied, Mr. Broidy was a perfect messenger to try to turn the new American administration against Qatar.

Broidy has been shunned by some GOP post his 2009 fraud scandal, but Trump welcomed him as did the @gopchairwoman when she named him co-chair of the RNC.

Manafort, 68, joined the Trump campaign on March 29, 2016, when he was named campaign convention manager for the Republican Party's mid-July gathering in Cleveland.
