1. Another name we will probably here about...

Is Victor Pinchuk, a Ukranian.

These billionaires played in our politics as a hobby.

As with any oligarch, they are friends of Vladimir.

2. McConnell and Quid Pro Quo?

"Some companies formerly controlled by Deripaska were removed from the blacklist in January, following a successful effort by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to lift the sanctions. One of Deripaska’s companies subsequently committed funds to a new aluminum plant to be built in McConnell’s home state, Kentucky.

The billionaire himself remains under U.S. sanction, which means American citizens and entities are prohibited from dealing with him."

3. I sure hope investigators can pin something on McConnell.
