89. Yes. And...?????

Exxon does, Chevron does, a lot of companies do. It's a global economy. The brother was in sales & production. He also owned a convenience store or store chain.

I agree it's suspicious. But as I say, I haven't seen any evidence connecting Pence w/the collusion charges in any way. That makes sense, since Pence didn't even know Trump until late in the game, and was not in the inner circle. Manafort, yes. Pence, no.

That may change. And his brother may have ties to Russia that could be found. But maybe not. That's all I'm saying. Evidence is important. Suspicions are something else.
