We all know that Russian "businessmen" are the corrupt politico's running russia.
Why the hell does CNN allow this Trump talking head and Trump supporter, former House of Representative, on air without divulging every single time this:
Trump's Men In Moscow: Trump Disciples Suddenly Showing Up In Russia
On Monday, Jack Kingston, a former Trump surrogate, briefed American businesspeople in Russia on what they might expect from the incoming administration.
Lifting Western sanctions that were imposed on Russia because of its armed intervention in Ukraine has become the top priority not only for the Kremlin but for foreign companies working in Moscow.
During the campaign, Trump indicated he would reconsider those sanctions and suggested he would get along fine with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
"Trump can look at sanctions. They've been in place long enough," Kingston told NPR in Moscow. "Has the desired result been reached? He doesn't have to abide by the Obama foreign policy. That gives him a fresh start."
Kingston said he had mostly met with businesspeople in Moscow and that there had been no meetings with Russian government officials or U.S. diplomats. Now was the time, he said, for business to step up and play a role in "soft diplomacy."

I want this guy off the fucking air and I want CNN to apologize for having him on without divulging this information to their viewers, each and every single time he appears. Which happens to be daily and nightly.
