Stop misleading. (Thats a rhetorical request.) Your campaign manager was back-channeling with an oligarch. Two policy advisers were meeting with Russian officials or cut-outs. Another took $45,000 from Russian propaganda outlet. FBI was looking at your campaign with good reason.

Reports are there was indeed at least one FBI representative implanted, for political purposes, into my campaign for president. It took place very early on, and long before the phony Russia Hoax became a “hot” Fake News story. If true - all time biggest political scandal!

co-author Mike Isakov has info on the Trump Campaign that is to hot to handle? Sure as heck is looking that way.

Why are these Russians continually referred to as "oligarchs", a word that at least suggests a bona fide position within a government?

Is the word oligarch used so much because some people find it difficult to spell the word mobster ?
