Sometimes it is the quiet, elusive ones who come back to haunt you. And for ex-special prosecutor Robert Mueller, one of those might be a Russian billionaire named Oleg Deripaska.
The oligarch who once controlled Russias largest aluminum empire has been an international man of intrigue in the now-completed and disproven Trump collusion investigation.
Deripaska was a disaffected former business client of Donald Trumps fallen campaign chairman Paul Manafort. He also was a legal research client of Trump-hating, Clinton-aiding British spy Christopher Steele. In his spare time, he was an occasional friendly cooperator with the FBI and its fired deputy director, Andrew McCabe.

Talk about collusion: Bareback Obama colluded.
Steele, Fusion, Podesta, Clintons, all on Russian payrolls.

Another Tolstoy reference that I totally get.
They were, but she still lost, which is why she thinks she was double-crossed.
It’s very simple. Elections are not chattels, because voters are thinking, rational beings, who can take in all the hype and then make their own decisions. So an election can’t be stolen, not by misinformation, not by Facebook adds, and not by revelations. People take it all in, weigh the pros and cons, and then do what they want, not what Google, CNN, Russians or slick ad men tell them to do. Deal with it.
Of course the Trump campaign, through Manafort, was NOT colluding with Moscow to hijack the 2016 election. They (the Russians) were colluding with the DEMOCRATS to hijack the 2016 election. Manafort, lowlife snake that he was and no doubt still is, was quite possibly planted into the Trump campaign by the Russians in order to make it APPEAR as if team Trump was colluding with the Russians. Manafort had deep ties to Russia's people in the Ukraine. They were generally the same pro-Russia Ukrainians that Joe Biden's son had worked for.
Hunter Biden worked for the largest gas company in the Ukraine, a totally corrupt one which was under investigation when creepy Joe stepped in and threatened to withhold a billion dollars if the investigation wasn't called off. Again, the company was owned by a PRO-Russian.
The Russians are notoriously clever. They are masters at the complex game of chess. Most of us, unfortunately, suck at simple checkers.

Also by money. All those dollars go for is adverts and parties and such; maybe in the end it buys a vote but not directly.
FBI just raided Deripaska’s residence
