Who needs Russian inside traders when US congressmen & women do it on daily basis

If they come from Russia they are oligarchs, if from US or UK they are billionaires 😊

How American Oligarchs steal Trillions from average Americans might be an interesting show.

Dont act like mother theresa.... US companies are doing the same.
