In reading the report of the Special Counsel I didn't mention all the other cases that have come from that investigation. Before returning to Volume 1, I thought listing these would provide a point of reference to understand the accounts written about in that volume.

I find it interesting that Manafort has absolutely no loyalty to his citizenship and willing conspired against the USA.

The Russians are still out there. They could easily be committing the same crimes on behalf of Putin. What has the Trump State Department done to bring them to justice?

Kilimnik is still wanted by the USA and the Trump State Department has not brought him to justice yet. He was the one that received election data from Manafort to report back to Putin.

Rick Gates has provided information to the Special Counsel which allowed other criminals to be charged. It is amazing to me how these Americans could simply disregard USA law and do as they please. There is no conscience in committing any of these crimes.
Wealth. It is the carrot and stick. All the more reason to worry about the country and demand they pay their share to the USA Treasury.

People like to say Pinedo had a minor role in the crimes committed that assaulted the 2016 elections. Considering what he facilitated, without a care about the USA, he was no minor player.

Pinedo (click here) had a shady online website that sold stolen US bank account numbers to help people circumvent PayPal’s identity verification features. And some of his customers just so happened to be Russians involved in the so-called “troll farm,” a social media propaganda effort to influence the 2016 campaign. The operation was mainly run from a group called the Internet Research Agency and financed by oligarch and Putin crony Yevgeny Prigozhin.
