Alexander van der Zwaan, first figure in Russia investigation, to be sentenced Tuesday

Source: New York Daily News

The first figure in the Russia investigation is expected to be sentenced Tuesday, though he could escape any jail time.

Alexander van der Zwaan, the 33-year-old London-based lawyer who worked with President Trump’s campaign officials Paul Manafort and Rick Gates in Ukraine, has pleaded guilty to lying to investigators.

The former lawyer for Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom admitted that he originally withheld information on 2016 exchanges he had with Gates and a “person A,” when speaking to investigators.

“Person A” is a former officer for Russia’s GRU military who still had ties to the agency, and Gates was aware of his past, according to documents filed last week by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Sorry, but I think he is primping piece of crap who helped in
the rigging of our elections so he could live the good life.

So if Al was arrested, pled guilty, and gets sentenced to prison for
his role in helping Trump/Russia rig our elections is that still
"fake news?"

BTW do me a favor call your senators and congress critter and tell them
that you demand that Bob Mueller be protected. Ask two friends to do the
same.
