Russian oligarch partner Len Blavatnik, who gave the biggest donation to the DCCC in its history in 2019, has ramped up his donations to the Dems again -- particularly Pelosi. We discuss on this week's @gaslitnation 
"Blavatnik is a business associate of sanctioned oligarchs Deripaska and Vekselberg. He is also a very close friend of Netanyahu. Blavatnik is part of the circle of oligarchs and corrupt international officials deeply tied to Trump and his crime cult." patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"Blavatnik was born in the Soviet Union but has US citizenship, which makes it legal for him to give enormous campaign donations to US officials when sanctioned foreign oligarchs cannot." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"In 2019, Blavatnik was being investigated by Rep Jackie Speier for possible dirty deals involving Treasury Sec Mnuchin. But that investigation vanished and now Speier is retiring. His donations to Dems picked up around then, which was also when Dems were demanding impeachment."
"In the past, Blavatnik, a Trump supporter, had donated excessively to GOP candidates, in particular to House minority leader Kevin McCarthy. But in 2019, Blavatnik switched to excessively funding the Democrats." -- @gaslitnation patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
"According to the FEC, Nancy Pelosi was the biggest individual recipient of Blavatnik money in 2021. He also gave heavily to the DCCC and to Schumer, Blumenthal, and others. It's worth looking at who Blavatnik gives to and why, and what he gets in return." patreon.com/posts/time-to-…
