And on the link to Reuters than Mary gave, I find it iteresting that all four promotions that were announced by Schumer’s handpicked appointment as US Attorney were formerly in the narcotics division or international trafficking of drugs. I know it is New York but that appears to be strategic placement of people who can keep their fingers in the dike when the Russian mafia is being questioned. I’ve seen too many ties with Schumer and this group to make me feel comfortable.
