    sleight of hand by turtle face

    The Russians then
    hired lobbyst, David Vitter, a former Senator from La who was caught in the DC prostitution controversy, to effect a sanction relief.

    4-15-2019, The Trump administration agreed to lift sanctions on Rusal after the Russian oligarch, Deripaska, agreed to give up control, though he still owns the largest stake in the company.

    Rusal proceeded to invest $200 M in an aluminum plant in Kentucky



    Did Deripaska / Vitter / McConnell engage in a bit of quid pro quo?



    btw,
    in May 2018 Vitter's wife failed miserably in her Senate nomination hearing for Federal judge, https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wendy+vitter+nomination

    a month after Rusal's $200M investment in an Aluminum plant in Kentucky, Turtle faced pulled the strings to
    effect the nomination of the lobbyst's wife for Federal judge​
