Bongino covers this piece from Sara carter
There was just one fact missing from his narrative: Exactly one decade earlier it was McCain’s own presidential campaign that was being roiled by concerns of possible Russian influence in his own inner circle.
Before there was Trump, there were concerns about some of the same people being around McCain about 10 years ago...
U.S. official
McCain actually met twice with Deripaska, a Russian businessman and Putin ally whose visa was blocked by the United States amidst intelligence community concerns about his ties to Moscow. The meetings were arranged by Manafort and his lobbying firm partner Rick Davis, who later would become McCain’s campaign manager, according to interviews and documents. Deripaska, a metals magnet, is president of United Company RUSAL, and is considered to be one of the richest men in the world worth an estimated at $5.1 billion, according to Forbes.“My sense is that Davis and Manafort, who were already doing pro-Putin work against American national interests, were using potential meetings with McCain -— who didn’t know this and neither did we until after the fact — as bait to secure more rubles from the oligarchs,”
Manafort turns out to be souless, playing all sides against the middle, for his own banking privileges, located here and there and everywhere. There’s a special place for those types, isn’t there?

Standard derp/CIA playbook. I forget the names, but they also managed to get rid of a British PM and Australian PM using such smears regarding Commie/Ruskie ties. Also recall same type smears against JFK. Wanted for Treason poster comes to mind.
NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN. spit
