How in the heck did Ron Dellums get his name into Trump's Russian collusion scandal?

Ron Dellums represented the East Bay in Congress for 13 terms. He later served as mayor of Oakland. Those years in government, apparentely, did little to pad his bank accounts. Dellums, it was reported in 2009, owed the government $293,000 in back taxes.

As Robert Gammon noted in the East Bay Express at the time, the debt threatened Dellums' re-election as Oakland mayor and may entice him to return to his lucrative government-lobbying job. That's exactly the road Dellums took.

But now, his lobbying work has oddly brought his name into the Russian collusion scandal currently barrelling toward President Donald Trump and his family. (article continues at link)

Must be a democrat. No mention of party that I saw. Dead giveaway.

[SpaceBar]

He’s not just a democrat, Ron Dellums is a card carrying socialist like Bernie.

[Red Steel]

Oh yeah this Communist goes all the way back to the 70s when he was known as Congressman Ron “Red” Dellums as in Commie Red.

[Zathras]

Back when I lived in the Bay Area, Dellums was considered, even by liberals as an uber left Communist.
His political future never went far beyond Oakland for this reason.

[kaehurowing]

You mean “RED Ron Dellums”? The guy is a bona fide Communist from Berzerkeley. He was a leftist politician when I was at Berkeley 35 years ago.

[easternsky]

He destroyed Oakland

After Grenada, the intelligence showed that Democrats were colluding with the communist gov’t there.

Documents seized showed that Dellums had coordinated his domestic opposition to Reagan’s Grenada policy with the communist junta in Grenada, going so far as to provide draft reports for the regime to edit before being published by the House of Representatives.

Rep. Dellums went on to serve as Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, complete with the requisite security clearances.

And Barbara Lee?

She succeeded Dellums as Representative for California’s 13th Congressional District and now sits on the State and Foreign Operations and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs subcommittees of the Appropriations Committee and employed Awan Abid as an IT professional.

Was he the mysterious 8th person in the Veselnitskaya - Trump Jr. meeting?

Prevezon’s lobbying efforts were reportedly commissioned by Mr. Katsyv, who organized them through a Delaware non-profit he formed and through the law firm then representing Prevezon in the asset forfeiture case, Baker Hostetler.[6]  Among others, the efforts involved lobbyist Rinat Akhmetshin and Fusion GPS, a political research firm led by Glenn Simpson.[7]  According to press reports, Baker Hostetler partner Mark Cymrot briefed congressional staff on the asset forfeiture case, attempting to discredit the Justice Department’s version of events and instead push the Russian government’s account.[8]  Rinat Akhmetshin, along with former Congressman Ron Dellums, reportedly lobbied the House Foreign Affairs Committee, telling staffers “they were lobbying on behalf of a Russian company called Prevezon and ask[ing] [the Committee] to delay the Global Magnitsky Act or at least remove Magnitsky from the name,” as well as telling the staffers “it was a shame that this bill has made it so Russian orphans cannot be adopted by Americans.”[9]  Mr. Akhmetshin was also involved in the screening, targeting Congressional staffers and State Department officials, of an anti-Magnitsky propaganda film.[10]  https://www.grassley.senate.gov/news/news-releases/complaint-firm-behind-dossier-former-russian-intel-officer-joined-lobbying-effort

it gets deeper:

It’s not out of the box to wonder that hate-monger Dellums, who was closely associated with Veselinskaya, might have suggested to her that a visit with Trump (at a time he was looking at a contested convention) would be a grand idea.

oh, but then there’s this (anybody speak Russian?):

Just arrest Chucky Schumer for having pictures of naked boys in his wallet and running a child prostitution ring out of Chinatown.

Every Trump story will magically go away.

Contradictory sentences, back to back. To owe that much his income must have been humongous and his bank accounts well padded! And all on a public servant's wages, too.
