          I’d look at Blavatnik, too. I noticed his name on some docs Maddow put up last night pertaining Alex van der Zwaan’s relationship to German Kahn, the head of Alfa Group.🤔

          see this from end of MoJo piece above: "Trump’s inaugural committee accepted other Russia-related contributions. Russian American businessman Alexander Shustorovich and Access Industries, a firm owned by Len Blavatnik...each gave $1 million to finance Trump’s inauguration."

          Alexander Mashkevitch's M-AAAL flew from St Lucia to D.C. and continued to Newark on 1/15/18. Even though M-AAAL's flight doesn't fit exactly in the "4-5 weeks" timeline I wouldn't be surprised if he was stopped by Mueller. Also Agalarov's VP-CRO flew to NY twice in early Jan.

          Is it naive of me to wonder if “the appropriate authorities” have all this stuff? I guess they do, but it’s great to have you share with the rest of us.

          This sudden interest in enacting a few of those sanctions more properly is probably not unrelated to news of agents talking to oligarchs at airports. Bogdanov is no surprise, considering that UE ref to OD RM just dropped, on top of recent bits of Prince-related news. #obstruction
