Why aren't the media asking this question? We literally just saw the top FBI official tasked with investigating Trump/Russia and Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska--Charles McGonigal--arrested for being paid by...Oleg Derispaska. As Tim Snyder, the American historian who writes about tyranny and democracy, just wrote, it seems like the New York FBI office (where McGonigal was based) was doing the bidding of Russia when it leaked the Hillary email story right before the election in 2016, and it may have made the difference in the election.

So in light of that, when we see a business partnership with George Santos and tens of thousands in campaign contributions given to him by Russian-American Andrew Intrater, cousin of and money manager for sanctioned Russian oligarch (and colleague of Deripaska's) Viktor Vecklesberg, why are we not asking some very serious questions?

We know the guy got 500K for his campaign. Where did it come from? Did you know Intrater gave to Tulsi Gabbard, who's magically taken to repeating pro-Russian talking points and attacking and then leaving the Democratic Party? Or that he gave $250,000 to Trump's dirty inaugural committee to get an "intimate policy meeting with top Trump cabinet officials" in 2017?

When George Santos was some petty-criminal loser who worked a telemarketing gig and was broke, Intrater went into business with him, enriching him and loading him up with campaign contributions. Somehow, Intrater looked at this nobody who changed his name like most people change underwear (and has been accused by multiple people of stealing and pawning their belongings) and saw... a congressman.

But I'm sure there was nothing nefarious about what Intrated did.
