Came across this response while reading an article on Facebook. I replied and asked for attributions, nothing yet. Is anyone familiar with any records of the inter-relationships noted?
Before he became FBI director, James Comey was senior vice president at Lockheed Martin, the world's largest defense contractor. Lockheed Martin gets their rocket engines from Russia and they have a multi-billion dollar partnership with ExxonMobil. ExxonMobil is partnered with Rosneft, Russias state-owned oil producer to drill in the Arctic. (New drilling opportunities made possible by glacial melting due to global warming!) The Obama/Clinton sanctions got in the way of their profits. Democracy got in the way of their profits.

I think that this is all about lifting environmental protections and sanctions.

Except the sanctions are relatively new -- only since the Crimean annexation.

And then Trump gets to pick? Unless he's constrained the way Obama seemed to be.
