I'm surprised with all this linking of FBI agent CHARLES MCGONIGAL to Russian oligarch [View all]

Oleg Deripaska and Paul Manafort no one has added Mitch McConnell to the list.
O'l Mitch had a deal with Deripaska to build a Aluminum plant in Kentucky after one of Deripaska's congressional lobbiest needed a favor. His wife was in line for a judgeship that was languishing for years. McConnell got her the job and Kentucky got the Aluminum plant..
Follow the money....Hummmmmm. I'd love to see a Venn diagram of those connections
