    Well... it’s not even a firm now since it has been shut down but it was a firm that shared data with Russia during the 2016 election.

    The whistle blower who testified gave hours of testimony of the details on how they went about doing that. It’s fairly interesting if you want me to find you the link.

    Steve Bannon was the brainchild here and per the Mueller report, the Trump campaign that Bannon led knew that Russia was actively supporting Trump and had compromising info on Hillary that they were enthusiastic about getting into the US media so it’s pretty obvious what the link is even if it wasn’t directly a Russian firm.

    They had business dealings with Lukoil in 2014 and 2015.

    Russian companies do business right here right now. Its all innuendo

    LOL, so true. Then when he gets caught in his lies he makes up more lies or changes his story again. It's a compulsive never ending cycle. He can't stop himself. The scary thing is he is starting to get bolder and brasher about being above the law, and doing whatever it takes to get what he wants, with no real moral compass. Do I believe he is capable of hiding the truth, conducting illegal business, or being simply just plain cruel and inhumane? Yes.
