If you read recent leaked emails of Putin's former SIL (Shamalov), the way the trump fam& Kushner's act, makes sense. They see themselves as oligarchs; our Gov is there for their personal use/abuse. (Remember Jared & Ivanka socialize w/Russian oligarchs.)
The man who married Putin’s daughter and then made a fortune
"...in the summer of 2013, months after he married Putin’s daughter, Kirill [Shamlaov] opened discussions about buying shares in Sibur from one of the president’s wealthiest friends."
"Putin's former son-in-law [Shamalov] bought shares worth $380M for $100, report says
Kirill Shamalov purchased large stake in Russian petrochemicals company months after marrying Katerina Tikhonova"
@GOP "Another article earlier this month suggested that Putin had fathered a daughter with a woman who had later been named a shareholder to one of Russia’s most important banks, making the former cleaner an overnight millionaire."
@GOP "Another showed that a former Olympic gymnast rumoured to have been Putin’s girlfriend had received an annual salary of £7.7m as the head of a pro-Kremlin media group."
@GOP "Shamalov and Putin’s daughter spent millions setting up luxurious households in Russia and France even as Putin banned Russian elites from owning foreign assets."
Leaked Emails Unearth Russian 'Wedding Gift' of $380M
The happy newlyweds were Yekaterina Tikhonova,Putin’s youngest daughter, and Kirill Shamalov, the son of one of the Russian leader’s friends. Among the wedding gifts...was sizable stake in...Sibur"
"Kirill...the son of Nikolai Shamalov, a millionaire...who in the 1990s co-founded w/ Putin the Ozero community, a lakeside gated dacha coop near Petersburg. Many members of the Ozero coop assumed top positions in the Russian gov and bizs after Putin became president."
"Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner have splurged on a $30 million-plus lot of land on Miami’s uber-swanky and high-security Indian Creek Island — known as the “Billionaire’s Bunker”
August 2016: Yachting with the enemy: Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner take the jet skis out and relax on David Geffen's $200M mega-yacht off the coast of Croatia, Roman Abramovich's wife Dasha Zhukova, joined (Wendi Deng, too.)
Does anyone else find it odd that Trump told us about Rudy Giuliani testing positive for Covid, and not Rudy (via his assistant Christianne on his Twitter account)? 🤔
Interesting. All of Trump and Giuliani’s false allegations of election rigging may depress turnout on their side, if #MAGA feels the result is already predetermined. 😆
@Bestestgrammie Oh, does everyone remember the man in Kellyanne’s, Bannon’s, and Flynn’s orbit - who ended up dead - after he talked to Rupert Murdoch’s paper about how they all worked together to enlist Russian hackers to steal HRC’s emails?
GOP Operative Sought Clinton Emails From Hackers, Implied a Connection to Flynn
Peter W. Smith portrayed the former general as an ally in an effort, independent of the Trump campaign, to find personal emails deleted by Hillary Clinton
@ReverendWarnock@ossoff "A national political action committee, Black Americans to Re-Elect the President, had 35 donors from Pennsylvania in 2019. The Inquirer confirmed identities for 18 of them, all of whom were white."
"Here are the two biggest donors, by far, to the super PAC called Black Americans to Re-Elect the President. Tied for third-biggest donor is their company, Eberle Communications."
