"Trump seems to have gone out of his way to select"

I have doubts. Why would Trump select so many people who have hidden ties to Russia? Are those Putin boys the only guys he knows? Or maybe someone else "helped" to select "the best people"?

Or maybe it's now SOP for rich Americans to have hidden ties to Russia, and Trump (of course) chose his rich buddies, and the Russia ties are simply a side-effect.
