In reply to the discussion: So it looks like the Konstantin Rykov story has finally begun to get some major traction. [View all]Tommy_Carcetti
(44,158 posts)16. A couple of things I learned now from Abramson and Co. that I didn't realize back then.
1. Alferova Yulya--who was ever present at Trump's side during the entire 2013 Miss Universe event--was Artem Klyushin's wife at the time.
2. In 2014--over a year before Trump officially announced and even before he officially had begun to signal his interest in running--Yulya was constantly re-tweeting Trump's Pro-Russian and anti-Obama tweets, and even threw this in for good measure:

This was a day after her husband had this to say:

3. Artem Kluyshin may have been physically present at Rykov's Election Night bash in Russia. (See 7:25 in the video...Rykov is the one with the beard and the hoodie over the Trump-Pence shirt, and people believe the individual at the far left might be Klyushin.)
4. Klyushin may have attended a Trump speech in Iowa in 2015.

I'm sure Mueller, and probably the CIA, are far more knowledgeable on Rykov than any of us.

I missed that but I know Stedman wrote the Medium piece that Abramson mentioned.
