Maddow Explains The Russian Connections To Trump Team -- And Putin

In one of her fast-talking presentations, Rachel Maddow last night talked about the Russians and Russia-connected people we now know were in contact with the Trump campaign and transition.

"We came up with 19 different Russians. but our handy chart, six, six, six, it only had 18 people on it. Turns out we forgot to include on the pictorial tableau of Russians Ike Kaveladze, eighth man at the infamous Trump Tower meeting," she said.

"For the record, we have on our list of people connected to Russian government in contact with the Trump Team: Russian ambassador, Russian banker, Russian excon, recollection oligarch, another Russian banker,Russian lawyer, Russian billionaire's son, Russian prime minister, currently-connected academic, Russian foreign ministry guy, Russian president's fake niece, the head of a sovereign wealth fund and Ike Kaveladze, the money-laundering poster child, he goes on our chart there next to the Russian lawyer and the Russian lobbyist. He, too, with the little box around him there -- he, too, was at that Trump Tower meeting.

"So that's my correction. it's not 18, it's 19. It's quite a roster.
