Also, colluding with Russian oligarch, NOT the Russian government, it should be noted.
()They accused DJT of colluding with the Russian government (Putin))
In the Russian system, oligarchs are often used as elements of the state. The way it's set up there is that basically you are allowed to become an oligarch and have your power if you help out the state.
The Russian oligarch in this instance is
Oleg Deripaska. This is the guy Manafort owed money to. He was sanctioned by the US in 2018 for being an arm of the Russia government.
Oleg Deripaska is being designated pursuant to E.O. 13661 for having acted or purported to act for or on behalf of, directly or indirectly, a senior official of the Government of the Russian Federation
This FBI guy was trying to help him get off the list.
I noticed that the EO was one of Obama's. I've heard that Putin has been cleaning house of many of the oligarchs, but I really don't know much about it all.
I don't know about oligarchs but he has has there is apparently a purge of the military going on 4 high up folks have been arrested and the minister of defense demoted.
Reports like these say the FSB, what used to be the KGB, is going after the military with Putin's blessing.
The recent arrests of five top Russian military officers are likely just the first of dozens of military figures who will be jailed in a sweeping purge by the security services, Russian government officials and sources close to the Kremlin and the Defense Ministry told The Moscow Times

Deripaska is definitely tied to Putin

Putin just went to China, he brought Deripaska with him.
He's inner circle.
thanks. I stand corrected.
