Please read the article. It’s a bit more complicated ...
@Justjoni I read both long articles and the bias of both Atlantic writers is pathetic.....4 people profiteering in Ukraine specifically ok with that 2 Republicans and 2 Democrats....Manafort equated with TrumpOLINI is the sick bias ....BILLARY SELLING URANIUM to Ukraine OBVIOUSLY ignored.....my point remains corruption is epidemic in both blueREDS redBLUES duopoly rule
.....only Green Party since 1996 has offered honest legal leadership
What a great article! Shows just how much trouble our country really is in.
