So today Putin comes out to defend Trump and then this:
Scaramucci is the sixth Goldman Sachs vet to be hired by the Trump administration.
I could swear that during the campaign Trump continually whined about HRC making paid speeches for GS and said that Ted Cruz was owned by GS because they had donated money to his Senate campaign.
Why would Scaramucci be discussing doing business with a Russian state run company that is under sanctions?Trump Aide Talks Investment With Sanctioned Kremlin Fund
Anthony Scaramucci, aide to President-elect Donald Trump and founder of SkyBridge Capital, discussed possible joint investments in a meeting in Davos with the head of a Russian sovereign wealth fund that the U.S. sanctioned in 2015, the fund’s press service said.
The meeting with Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, a $10 billion state-run investment vehicle, is the first public contact between the incoming administration and Kremlin-backed business.
Trump has suggested he could ease the sanctions on Russia if the Kremlin cooperates on his policy priorities. Scaramucci confirmed the Davos meeting.
In an interview with the Russian state news agency TASS Tuesday, he also criticized the sanctions as ineffective.
Trump’s view about Russia is that “there’s probably shared values or shared interests, that we can align ourselves with each other and this could be mutually beneficial,” he said.
