Here we go with the latest round of fake news. All of the panting Liberals were lapping up the story of a "Russian Oligarch" making a 500K payment to Michael Cohen. So after tossing out that load of crap we have the usual backpeddling. "WEEEEELLLLLLL it wasn't REEEAAAAALLLLLY a Russian Oligarch. It was a firm tied to an oligarch. Or indirectly related. You know, the Kevin Bacon thing. Actually we are just making shit up since we never get called on it. You gotta problem with that?"
Except the American company is ACTUALLY run by the Oligarch's cousin and the American branch is owned by the parent company that is owned by the oligarch. So let me break that down for you. The oligarch owns the main Russian company, that OWNS the American branch. You still having issues connecting 3 dots?
Mother Jones actually did an article about Columbus Nova, their CEO, and the Russian oligarch last year:
"On January 6—the day the US intelligence community
reported that Putin had approved a covert operation to subvert the presidential campaign to assist Trump—Andrew Intrater donated $250,000 to Trump’s inauguration fund.
Intrater is the CEO of Columbus Nova, the lone American subsidiary of Renova Group, a giant holding company
owned by oligarch Viktor Vekselberg with interests in the metals, mining, chemical, construction, transport, energy, telecommunication, and financial sectors in Russia and abroad. Intrater, an American citizen, is Vekselberg’s cousin,
according to filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In June, Intrater also made a $35,000 contribution to a joint fundraising committee for Trump’s reelection and the Republican National Committee."
A Putin-friendly oligarch's top US executive gave a lot of money to Donald Trump
