Trump Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross has ties to illicit Russian finance

So you don't think if it were found members of the cabinet were exchanging ideas with Russians about campaign strategy it would be a problem?

Got it.

I understand now trump supporters mentality.

Thank god I learned long ago it's all scam or I might believe the con man myself.

This article digs deeper into the Bank of Cypress, Wilbur Ross, and Putin's Russia.
it is ugly.

How are picks like Ross and Tillerson considered 'draining the swamp'?
Trump supporters got played.

US and Russia relationships span 200 years historically so tell me another story about who is friends with who.

Right.

Does that make sense? Russia wasn't even the same place geographically 200 years ago. Their entire political structure has changed 3 times since then.

It appears to be a very weak tie. First, it's a Cyprus bank, not a Russia bank. Second, this was a co chair position held by Wilbur Ross in 2014. Third, this bank has clients from all over the world, not just from Russia.

Frankly the concerning part is that he is sec of commerce and involved in tax dodging off shore banking.
