This mother fucker, Viktor Medvedchuk, had something to do w/helping install Trump in 2016

I didn't catch all of it except that Viktor was all buddy buddy w/one Paul Manafort. And BTW a couple of weeks ago Manafort was
pulled from a plane that was headed to the U.A.E. (Dubai) which has no extradition treaty w/America.

I think I have all of that right but then again .... botany =

Rachel was also talking about Viktor's ties to Putin on her show tonight.

Ukraine has seized the assets of captured Putin ally Viktor Medvedchuk, including 50 homes, 26 cars, 30 plots of land, and one yacht

Medvedchuk was also thought to be Putin's top choice for replacing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy with a pro-Russia puppet leader if Russian forces had taken Kyiv. Ukraine even offered Russia Medvedchuk in exchange for Ukrainian prisoners — a proposal the Kremlin declined.

No doubt Fox News will be all over this story.

From the OP:

which is why the asshole was still in Ukraine, wearing stolen Ukrainian camo.

This seems like another rotten bastard that will likely face charges elsewhere when the Ukrainians get through with him.

I will never forgive a single person who helped inflict TFG on us.

helped elect a pro-Russian president of Ukraine. I'm speculating but with Medvedchuk a billionaire there likely is a connection between the two and that president's election. This shit needs to be investigated and PROSECUTED. That means arresting and jailing those who are guilty of crimes!!!!!!
