Gianforte busted for Russian Investments

8. Perhaps... but seems like the candidate would have embraced that angle

As a way to minimize the significance...

Clearly, the candidate did not choose to even try that as a strategy....
so, his actions/choices indicate that it might be just a bit more sinister than you are comfortable considering, at this point.


However, if in fact your assessment is spot on and the candidate had zero control over his investments, then it might reveal something of even greater significance....
that some investment entity has discovered a way to bypass existing US Sanctions related oversight measures intended to prevent investment access by unsuspecting &/or willingly complicit US citizens.......


Either way....
the dude's investments are problematic and
just because 45 & klan are actively deconstructing the administrative state and
have exempted themselves from all rules & protocols
does not mean that investing in sanctioned foreign companies is now universally acceptable.
