the answer is obvious

and answered

hope I'm wrong

for those that want to see the perspective from the ross/deutschebank/russian oligarch/trump POV, try this:

https://www.dcreport.org/wilbur-ross-comes-to-d-c-with-a-long-and-profitable-history-of-russian-connections/?preview_id=944

In the midst of the Trump Administration’s many other Russian entanglements,[1] it turns out that Wilbur J. Ross, Jr., the billionaire American investor who is one of Donald Trump’s closest advisors on trade and economics, has direct financial ties to several leading oligarchs from Russia and the Former Soviet Union or FSU.

................

Central to this inquiry is the question of Ross’s role as Vice Chair and a leading investor in the Bank of Cyprus, the largest bank in Cyprus, one of the key offshore havens for illicit Russian finance. Ross has been Vice Chairman of this bank and a major investor in it since 2014. His fellow bank co-chair evidently was appointed by none other than Vladimir Putin.

The Bank of Cyprus is just one of more than 100 direct and indirect investments that Ross listed on his U.S. Office of Government Ethics financial disclosure form last month. [2] He recently promised to resign as Vice Chairman of the Bank and disinvest from it within the next 90 days if his nomination is approved.[3]

Mere divestiture will not suffice here, even if it was immediate. Exiting a brothel in a hurry doesn’t explain what you were doing there in the first place.


above link expands upon Rachel's most excellent broadcast of Feb 27, which is on youtube, apparently, and not to be missed

that was only the first 22 minutes. the next 30+ were also on the oligarch/trump connection. dunno where that is.....maybe on MSNBC....but it SHOULD be as important a story as the one those two rookie WAPO reporters worked for awhile back in 72-73....can't remember their names
