@washingtonpost “The Mississippi company, FEA Innovations, is registered to Intrater, according to secretary of state records. Registration documents include no other officers or directors and identify Intrater’s address as the same one used by Columbus Nova on Madison Avenue in Manhattan. Columbus Nova is now known as Sparrow Capital.

Russian oligarchy works like this: Putin lets them steal. In return, they do him favors that advance his goals. One goal is to influence US policy. Another: smear Western democracy as corrupt, dysfunctional, while dividing & weakening us. IRA troll farm, Trump Tower meeting, Kilimnik “peace plan”—all oligarch-connected.

A crook like George #Santos humiliates our system—a win for #Putin, a kudo for #oligarch #Vekselberg.
